Wow, just in time, Julia! I love the idea of a savory box and was just thinking of what crackers to serve with cheese at my holiday party. It never occurred to me to make my own, but these all sound perfect—and great for gifts, though perhaps not this year. I’m already behind on everything!😉

I’m quite the fan of homemade crackers. Like most things they're a step above the store bought ones and relatively simple to make. I hope you get a chance to incorporate them in your Hanukkah food planning!

PS. If you want to indulge in more sweet cookie spectator sport. NYT Cooking just did a brilliant cookie series on their YouTube.

(Watching other people make festive food definitely has nothing to do with me not having enough time 😂)

This sounds great and will definitely help with my ongoing procrastination!

A savoury biscuit box is genius. Love it. These all sound amazing 👏 I'm partially organised (gifts sorted, a couple of things baked for the freezer), but still have a list of things I'd love to make if time allows. I swear December days go faster than any other!

I think you’re right about the days in December and Christmas becomes this artificial deadline by which time everything needs to be done. You’re sounding much more organised than I am, which is very unlike me. I'm trying to appreciate the lack of a plan but I'm not sure how long it will last!

There comes a point where you have to surrender and just go with the flow. (And I'm only organised with gifts because we live so far away from family.)

I absolutely love this idea Julia! While I think I am not organised enough or blessed with enough energy to make any cookie boxes this year, I definitely want to try some of these recipes. The fennel and cheese biscuits especially.

That is the beauty of all of the cookie box recipes that are everywhere - they don't need to be made all at once and they don't need to appear in a box with a whole lot of others. I hope you are able to have time to rest and recharge.

A savory cookie box, love it! I’m completely disorganized at the moment 😂 but still enjoying the season!
