Pastry chef Nick Malgieri with tips and suggestions for holiday baking

It's time to bring out the butter, sugar and flour. Some holiday treats are just tradition but you may want to add something new to your dessert repertoire. Acclaimed Pastry chef Nick Malgieri has already been a guest on the show and gave some great tips on fall baking so we called him back for adding something different to the table this holiday season. He's the author of several cookbooks including Bake! Essential techniques for perfect baking.

Nick Malgieri spoke to All In A Weekend from New York.
