Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cut the bread into 1 inch cubes and place in a small bowl. Pour the milk over the bread. Set aside for five minutes.
• Heat the olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and garlic. Cook until soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat. Let cool for five minutes.

• In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground mustard, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stie in tomato paste making a glaze. Brush the meat loaf all over with the glaze.
• Bake, brushing every fifteen minutes with glaze until juices run clear when loaf is pierced with a two-pronged fork and bacon is crisp, 1 to 1 and 1/4 hours. Let cool 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with potatoes and leeks on the side.

Steps:

• Prep: position oven rack in center of oven; preheat oven to 350°; butter a 9 inch square baking pan and put it on a baking sheet.
• Cake: Add fresh ginger and sugar in a small bowl; stir and set aside.
• In another larger bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and spices together.
• Working with a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar together at medium speed for about 3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
• Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating for 1 minute after each egg goes inches.
• Pour in molasses; beat until smooth.
• Decrease speed to low; add in melted chocolate, along with sugared ginger.
• Still on low speed, add the dry ingredients in 3 additions and the buttermilk in 2 (begin and end with the dry ingredients), mixing the batter only as much as needed to blend ingredients.
• Fold in the chopped chocolate and the ginger in syrup (if using); pour batter into pan.
• Bake for about 40 or until the cake starts to pull away from the sides of the pan and pick comes out clean.
• Don't be concerned if the cake is domed and cracked-it will settle down as it cools.
• Transfer cake to a rack and cool for 10 minutes, then unmold cake.
• Turn cake right side up to cool to room temperature before icing the cake (the edges of the cake might be quite brown, but you can trim them after you ice the cake).
• Icing: Set a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, put the chocolate and coffee in the bowl, and stir occasionally until the chocolate is melted.
• Remove the bowl and , using small whisk, stir in the butter 1 tablespoons at a time.
• Sift the powdered sugar over the chocolate and stir in; transfer the bowl to a counter and let the icing sit for about 10 minutes.
• Put the gingerbread, still on the rack, on a piece of wax paper or foil.
• Pour the icing onto the center of the cake and use a long metal spatula to spread the icing evenly over the top; let icing set for 30 minutes.
• If the edges of the cake are overbaked, now is the time to trim them; then cut the gingerbread into 9 even pieces.

Steps:

• Line two baking sheets with Silpat baking mats, and set aside. Chop chocolate into 1/4-inch chunks; set aside. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and cocoa.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream grated ginger and butter until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add brown sugar; beat until combined. Add molasses; beat until combined.
• Add the flour mixture in batches until fully incorporated. Mix in chocolate, cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm, 2 hours or more.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place the sugar in a pie plate. Using a 1-ounce ice-cream scoop, scoop the dough into a bowl filled with sugar. Roll each ball of dough in sugar. Bake until surface cracks slightly, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Beat together butter, sugars, and salt on medium speed until creamy and combined, 2 minutes. Add vanilla. Reduce speed to low, add flour, and beat to combine. Beat in chocolate. Divide dough into two pieces, each about 1 pound. Roll into logs (each about 8 1/2 inches long and 1 3/4 inches in diameter).
• Wrap logs in plastic and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. Dough can be made to this point, well wrapped, and frozen for up to 1 month. (It can also be sliced and re-formed into logs before freezing; see cook's note.)
• Remove from refrigerator or freezer (if frozen, let stand 10 minutes to soften). Brush with egg white and roll in sanding sugar to coat. Use a serrated knife and a back-and-forth motion to cut logs into 1/2-inch-thick slices (if any crack around larger chunks of chocolate, just press back together).
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Place cookies on parchment-lined baking sheets and bake until golden on edges, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool on pans on wire racks 10 minutes, then transfer to racks and let cool completely, about 45 minutes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days, or freeze up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Beat butter, sugar, molasses, vanilla, ginger, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
• Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, then add the water.
• Mix on low speed until the water is combined, then add the flour.
• Mix in the flour just until incorporated and there are no dry bits. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl again, if necessary.
• Wrap the dough in plastic and place in the fridge for two hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Once chilled, lightly dust a surface with flour and roll cookie dough to about ¼" thick.
• Cut your desired shape and place on parchment lined baking sheets.
• Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes for ¼" thick cookies.
• Allow cookies to cool and decorate with piping glaze.
