Welcome to the CEO Diet, a monthly series in Bloomberg Businessweek in which executives from around the world tell us how they manage their time in and out of the office. Among the topics they’ve discussed: their favorite productivity hacks and fashion uniforms and how they optimize sleep and win the weekend.

This month, as we head into holiday season, the question for the big boss is “What do you make when you’re entertaining?” It can be a signature dish you serve yourself or bring to someone’s place for a party. The answers vary widely: Some CEOs mix drinks instead of cooking, while others opt for dessert (including a delicious-sounding classic from a superstar chef and the founder of a restaurant empire).
