Is dessert the best part of Christmas Day lunch? Quite possibly! Most will opt for indulgent homemade trifle or Christmas pudding with lashings of brandy sauce but if you're looking for a lighter dessert jam-packed with rich flavours then this one ticks all the boxes. Italian dessert classic tiramisu can be guilty of weighing you down with thick cream and liqueur soaked sponges but this version is as light as a feather and in the perfect per person portion size, too. Get your hands on some hazelnut liqueur - it's a gamechanger for this and although optional we highly recommend.

So the good news is that the half year double strike that ground Hollywood to a halt is over. The bad news is Billy Ray has just about come to the end of the road on Deadline Strike Talk, which to our mind has been superb and a light in the darkness. He will do one more episode or two to wrap up the lessons we hopefully learned from this labor discord, and then we will beg him to keep a podcast presence with Deadline. In sober and intelligent tones, and with a superb roster of guests, he has helped create an understanding of the intricacies, forces and history that went into the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. The hope is he, and his initial co-pilot Todd Garner, will want to continue together or separately an inside baseball dialogue with the industry that Deadline serves. That is a conversation for another day. Here, Billy Ray discusses the settlement that puts the industry back to work. And he is joined by California State Senators Anthony Portantino and Dave Min to discuss the role of state government in supporting the labor movement.

The result has put just about every other streamer pursuit in a position of being money losers that have strained the economics, and accelerated the demise of those conglomerates’ traditional networks, and so many other things.
