Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, or until firm enough to roll out. You may chill it overnight; just let it soften a bit at room temperature before proceeding. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out cookies with a cookie cutter of your choice. These baking instructions are for 3-inch cookies. If you make small cookies, reduce the baking time, larger cookies will require a longer baking time. Reroll any extra dough and cut out as many cookies as possible. Transfer the cookies to the prepared pans, keeping them at least 1-inch apart. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, rotating the pans front to back halfway through the baking time. These cookies are so dark that it is impossible to see if they are beginning to color. Use the time suggested and check to see if the edges and bottoms are completely dry. You should be able to lift a cookie up with a spatula to peek at the bottom; the cookie should be baked enough to remain stiff and not break. Set the pans directly on a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Then remove the cookies to the rack and cool completely. The sheet pans must be cooled completely between uses, but you will probably be able to reuse the parchment.

There should be enough water to cover lobsters completely when immersed. Place live lobsters in boiling water head first to minimize splashing. When water re-boils, turn down the heat, and simmer for 20 minutes. Do not overcook lobsters. Remove lobsters from the pot using tongs; save all the water in stockpot as this is now a flavorful stock to be re-used. Place 10 cups of stock in a clean stockpot and put on low heat. Clean claws and tails of lobsters and reserve meat, legs, and swimmerets. After lobsters are cleaned, place shells in stockpot with 10 cups of stock. Cut bodies in quarters and place in stockpot, making sure to include all roe and tomalley in pot. Add 1 cup tomato paste and simmer on low heat for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to have heat so high as to burn stock. Pour entire contents of pot through sieve into clean stockpot; this should now be 8 cups of glorious red stock. Place onions, celery, carrots, thyme, parsley and saffron in a large saute pan, add 4 cups stock from original stock pot and put on high heat for 30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.

Cover, place over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the meat is very tender and falling apart, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove the meat from the water to a cutting board, and set aside to cool. Leave the cooking liquid in the pot. Once the turkey legs are cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bone and shred, discarding any skin or cartilage. Place a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Once shimmering, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are semi-translucent, approximately 2 minutes. Add the garlic and chili and continue to cook for another minute. Add the meat and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking liquid and cook until heated through and the liquid has evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside until ready to assemble. While the meat is cooking, place the husks in a large bowl or container and submerge completely in hot water. Soak the husks until they are soft and pliable, at least 45 minutes and up to 2 hours. If you have an electric kettle, place the husks in the kettle, fill with water and turn on. Once the kettle turns off, allow the husks to sit for 1 hour in the hot water. Place the masa, salt, and baking powder into a large mixing bowl and combine. Add the lard and using your hands, knead together until the lard is well incorporated into the dry mixture. Gradually add enough of the reserved cooking liquid, 2 to 4 cups to create a dough that is like thick mashed potatoes. The dough should be moist but not wet. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and set aside until ready to use. To assemble the tamales: Remove a corn husk from the water and pat to remove excess water. Working in batches of 6, lay the husks on a towel and spread about 2 tablespoons of the dough in an even layer across the wide end of the husk to within 1/2-inch of the edges. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the meat mixture in a line down the center of the dough. Roll the husk so the dough surrounds the meat and fold the bottom under to finish creating the tamale. Repeat until all the husks, dough and filling are used. Tie the tamales, around the center, individually or in groups of 3, with kitchen twine. To steam the tamales: Place a steamer basket in the bottom of an 11-quart pot and add enough water to come to the bottom of the basket. Stand the tamales close together on their folded ends and lean them in towards the center, away from the sides of the pot. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat, then cover and reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Check the water level every 15 to 20 minutes, and add boiling water by pouring down the side of the pot, if necessary. Steam until the dough is firm and pulls away from the husk easily, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Serve warm. Store leftover tamales, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, in the freezer, for up to a month.

Slowly add the boiling water and stir in 1 direction with a wooden spoon. When the flour absorbs the water and cools, knead the dough into a ball and then place it on a work surface dusted with flour. Knead for about 2 minutes, until the dough is thoroughly smooth. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to rest for 30 minutes. On a flour-dusted work surface roll the dough into a 12-inch sausage and divide into 12 (1-inch) pieces. Flatten each piece with your palm, using more flour to dust if the dough is sticky. While working, cover the dough not in use with plastic wrap. Working with 2 pieces of dough at a time, wipe 1 side of each piece gently with sesame oil and place 1 flattened, oiled piece atop another. Roll them together into 7-inch rounds. The result is a 2-layer pancake. Repeat until 6 (2-layer) pancakes are made. Heat a wok over low to medium heat for 1 minute. Place a double pancake in the dry wok and cook for a minute, until it begins to bubble up. (The heat in the dry wok must be carefully controlled. If it is too high, the pancakes will burn.) Turn the pancake over and cook until a few brown spots appear. Remove from the wok and separate into 2 layers. You will have 2 pancakes, each browned lightly on 1 side and white on the other. Repeat until all the dough is used and you have 12 pancakes. Before serving, steam the pancakes in a stack for 5 to 7 minutes, until soft and hot.

Put the steak in shallow bowl or a dish and rub the mixture all over the meat. Marinate at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours or, better still, covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Turn the meat from time to time to coat both sides evenly.
To prepare: remove the steak from the refrigerator at least an hour before cooking. When you are ready to grill, prepare a charcoal fire so that you have areas of higher and lower heat.
Drain off any excess oil from the steak. Sear the steak over the high-heat area of the grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the grill rack and sprinkle 2 cups soaked hickory or oak chips on the low-heat part of the fire. Replace the grill and place the steak over the low-heat area. Cover the grill, but turn the steak frequently; this should take 10 to 20 minutes more, depending on the thickness of the steak and the heat of the fire. Check the interior of the meat with an instant-read thermometer, and remove the steaks at 5 to 7 degrees below the desired degree of doneness. Let the steak rest, covered loosely with foil, for 10 minutes or so before carving.
To carve, cut the loin meat and the fillet meat away from the bone. Cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange meat on a platter with the lemon wedges. Serve with vinaigrette. Place the dried mushrooms in a glass measuring cup or bowl. Add enough boiling water to cover and soak for at least 30 minutes.
Remove the soaked mushrooms with a slotted spoon. Chop them and set them aside. Carefully pour the soaking liquid into a saucepan, leaving the last bit of liquid and any grit behind. Add the vermouth or sherry and the chicken or veal stock and bring to a boil. Continue to boil until the flavors are concentrated and the sauce is reduced to about 1/2 cup. Set aside while you cook the mushrooms.
Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fresh mushrooms and shallots or garlic and cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Put in the reserved dried mushrooms and continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. If any liquid accumulates in the skillet, pour it into the saucepan with the reduced sauce. Boil the sauce briefly, if you wish, to intensify the flavors further.
Pour the reduced sauce over the mushrooms and add both vinegars. Using a whisk, beat in enough of the remaining oil to form a slightly thick, homogenous vinaigrette. Taste for salt and pepper and red wine vinegar and serve with steak.

The batter will be very stiff; it gets softer and more elastic after it has proofed. You may find it easier to mix the sponge using electric mixer, with a paddle or a dough hook, on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape the sponge into a 2-quart clear plastic container and cover with plastic wrap. At this point you have two options:
If you plan to make your dough later that same day, let the sponge rest at room temperature until it has risen to the point where it just begins to collapse. This may take from 6 to 8 hours, depending on the temperature of the sponge, the temperature of the room, and the strength of the yeast. The sponge will triple in volume and small dents and folds will begin to appear in the top as it reaches its peak and then begins to deflate. The sponge is now in perfect condition to be used in a dough. It's best if you have already weighed or measured out all of your other recipe ingredients before the sponge reaches this point so you can use it before it collapses too much. If you're not planning to make your dough until the next day or the day after, put the covered sponge in the refrigerator and let it rise there for at least 14 hours before taking it out to use in a recipe. Be sure to compensate for the cold temperature of the starter by using warm water (85 to 90 degrees) in the dough instead of the cool water specified in the recipe. Or let the starter sit out, covered, until it reaches room temperature (this may take several hours)-but don't let it collapse to much before you use it.

Place the puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Lightly dust the top of the puff pastry with flour. Use a rolling pin to roll the puff pastry into a rectangle 1/4-inch. Use a 4-inch fluted cutter to cut 8 circles from the puff pastry. Remove the scraps and space the circles 2 inches apart on a parchment paper-covered baking sheet.

Grease a 9 by 13-inch jelly roll pan with softened butter or cooking spray. Beat your butter in the bowl of a stand mixer until it is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the brown and granulated sugars a little bit at a time, pouring them in on the side of the bowl. While you're adding your sugars, stop the mixer occasionally and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure that everything is fully mixed. Cream the butter and sugar mixture until it is light and fluffy, about 8 minutes. (Creaming creates air pockets in the dough, and therefore these blondies have a light and delicate texture.) Whisk your flour, baking soda and sea salt, if using, in a bowl. (Add the salt only if desired because there is plenty on top of the finished brownies.) Add your eggs 1 at a time, adding the second only after the first is fully incorporated. Once the second egg is fully incorporated, add your vanilla. Turn your mixer down to low speed and slowly add the flour mixture. Once the dry ingredients are fully incorporated into the wet ingredients, add in all those chocolate chips. Your machine will seem to be struggling to mix in the chocolate chips because there are so many of them, but don't turn it up, leave it on low and allow it to fully mix the chips in. Spread your cookie dough into the prepared jelly roll. Evenly sprinkle the top of the dough with the fleur de sel.

" 58476,"Royal Icing 1 large egg white* 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1/2 lemon, juiced and strained How to make a cornet, method follows Instructions: To make royal icing: Combine the egg white and powdered sugar in a medium-size mixing bowl and whip with an electric mixer on medium speed until opaque and shiny, about 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice and continue whipping until completely incorporated, about 3 minutes. The lemon juice whitens the royal icing. The royal icing should be light, fluffy, and slightly stiff. You may need to adjust the consistency by adding more egg whites if the icing is too dry or more powdered sugar if it is too wet. Place the royal icing in a small piping bag or paper cornet. The Cornet: A cornet is a small piping bag made from parchment paper. It is usually used to make fine decorations. Cut an 8-by-12-by-14 1/2-inch triangle from a sheet of parchment paper. Hold the middle of the long side of the triangle between two fingers of 1 hand. Take the tip of the triangle on the short, wide end and roll it toward the other tip of that same end while simultaneously pulling it in an upward motion. The tip of a cone will form where your thumb and finger hold it on the long side. Release your grip from the long side, so that you are now holding the 2 corners where they meet. The paper will already resemble a partially formed cone. Roll the remaining tail until it is completely rolled into a cone. There will be 1 point sticking up from the open end. Fold it inside toward the center, and crease the fold. Now you should have a cornet. To close the cornet once it has been filled, fold it away from the seam; this will keep the seam from opening. Use a pair of scissors or a sharp paring knife to cut an opening at the tip of the cornet to the desired size.

Spray a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Prepare the cake batter and bake according to the package directions using the prepared pan. Remove to a rack and let cool completely in the pan. Spread the frosting over the top of the cake and sprinkle with the cookies to resemble dirt.
For the bunnies and carrots: Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment. Cut the stems off half of the strawberries. Divide the white chocolate evenly between into 2 medium microwave-safe bowls. Add the coconut oil and orange food coloring to one of the bowls. Microwave each separately in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until the chocolate is melted and silky smooth.
For the carrots: Dip the strawberries with the stems into the orange chocolate, lifting and twisting to coat completely and letting any excess drip back into the bowl. Place the strawberries on their sides on the prepared baking sheet. Transfer the remaining orange chocolate into a small resealable plastic bag. Snip a very small piece from a corner of the bag and drizzle the chocolate back and forth across the width of each carrot to create horizontal lines.
For the bunnies: Dip the stemmed strawberries into the white chocolate, turning them with a fork to coat completely. Use the fork to scoop the fruit out of the chocolate, letting any excess drip back into the bowl. Place on the prepared baking sheet cut-side down. Refrigerate until hardened completely, about 30 minutes. Transfer all but 3 tablespoons of the remaining white chocolate to a small resealable plastic bag. Add the red food coloring to the reserved white chocolate in the bowl and stir until completely smooth and light pink, then transfer to another small resealable plastic bag.
For the bunny ears: Snip a very small piece from a corner of the white and pink chocolate bags. Use the white chocolate to pipe 2-inch skinny hearts on the parchment that the strawberries are on. Pipe as many hearts as you have white strawberries. Fill in the hearts with the white chocolate. Pipe a small pink heart on each white heart to create the inner ears. While the chocolate is still wet, lay the pointy end of a white strawberry flat against the bottom point of a heart; this will be the ears on the bunny's head. Repeat with the remaining white strawberries and hearts. Pipe 2 tiny dots of white chocolate in the middle of each strawberry and adhere the mini chocolate chips for eyes. Use the pink chocolate to pipe a small nose beneath the eyes. Refrigerate until hardened completely, about 30 minutes.
Stand the bunnies up and use the remaining white chocolate to pipe a bushy tail on the back of each. Refrigerate until hardened completely, about 30 minutes.
For the grass: Meanwhile, combine the coconut and green food coloring in another small resealable plastic bag and shake until the coconut is green all over. Decorate the cake with the carrots, bunnies and green coconut grass.

Let cool slightly. Peel the potato and transfer to a food processor along with the olive oil and pinch of salt; puree until very smooth. (You should have about 1 cup puree; if you have more than 1 cup, reserve the extra for another use.) Stir the yeast mixture with a spoon to deflate it, then add the remaining 2/3 cup warm water and 1 1/2 teaspoons yeast and stir. Add 2 1/2 more cups bread flour, the sage, sugar and remaining 2 1/2 teaspoons salt; mix until the dough is shaggy and there is no dry flour in the bowl. Let stand until the flour absorbs some of the liquid, 5 minutes. Put the remaining 3/4 cup flour in a small dish for kneading. Lightly dust a work surface with some of the flour and turn out the dough onto the surface. Lightly flour the top of the dough. Knead the dough, adding a little bit of the flour as needed, until very smooth, elastic and a little tacky, about 5 minutes. (Alternatively, you can knead the dough in a stand mixer with the dough hook on medium speed for about 5 minutes.) Generously flour the surface under the dough, then pat the dough into a rough square. Top with about half of the sweet potato puree. Pull and fold the edges of the dough over the puree and then begin to knead together (it will get messy at first but the dough will come together). Add more flour as needed to knead and swirl the puree into the dough, about 1 minute (use a dough scraper or butter knife to scrape up any puree that comes out and add it back to the dough). Pat the dough flat and add the remaining puree. Keep kneading the dough, using the remaining flour, until the puree is mixed in but not fully blended and the dough comes back into a ball, 2 to 5 minutes (it\u2019s OK if the surface is a little rough). Put smooth-side up in a lightly oiled large bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours. Gently turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently press the dough to deflate it. Stretch and pull the edges into the middle of the dough, starting with two sides, then two other sides; repeat until the dough looks like a round. Using a bench scraper, turn over the dough onto a spot with little to no flour. Cup your hands around the dough and gently pull the dough toward you about 1 inch. Rotate the dough a bit and gently pull toward you again. Continue with five to seven pulls. The dough should sit a bit taller than before and the top should feel taut. Line a large bowl with a clean towel and dust with flour. Add the dough seam-side up, dust with flour, then cover with plastic wrap.

2 teaspoons garlic powder
Salt Vegetable oil, as needed Instant potato flakes, as needed
All-purpose flour, for dusting Vegan Pierogi Dough, recipe follows Caramelized onions and sour cream, for serving 3 1/2 tablespoons whole flax seeds 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon instant mashed potatoes 6 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons warm water
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Instructions: Place the potatoes in a saucepan and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 15 to 20 mins. Drain. Meanwhile, bring the lentils and 3 cups water to a boil in a pot. Cook until the lentils are tender but not disintegrating, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain. Place the potatoes in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix until mashed with no lumps. Add the berbere, tomato paste, onion powder, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Continue to mix until combined. Check the dough for consistency; it should be moist and pliable but not wet. To test, roll a bit of dough between your palms: If it crumbles, add some vegetable oil until it holds together. If it's sticky and clings to your hands, add instant potato flakes until it holds together. Finally, taste for salt. The filling should be slightly saltier than you prefer so that the flavor stands up to the dough. To assemble the pierogi: On a well-floured surface, roll out a ball of Vegan Pierogi Dough the size of a large orange into a rectangle about 1/8-inch thick. Cut out 3-inch rounds of dough (a pint glass will do). Place 2 tablespoons of filling into the center of each round and fold the rounds in half. Take care to make sure all the air pockets are pressed out of the pierogi. Crimp the edges with a fork or your fingers. Boil the pierogi for 3 minutes, then brown in a skillet. Serve with caramelized onions and sour cream. Add the flax seeds and 2 cups water to a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. (Keep an eye on the pan: Once the mixture starts boiling, it will foam up and boil over quickly!) As soon it starts to boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Strain the resulting gel through a nut-milk bag or fine-mesh sieve. Discard the seeds and refrigerate the gel until cool. Mix the instant mashed potatoes with 1/2 cup water and let stand 2 to 3 minutes. Add the flour, water, baking powder, salt, 1 cup flax gel and 3/4 cup of the instant potatoes to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook.

Add the butter, and pulse until it is in pea-size pieces. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of the ice water, and pulse until the dough begins to come together. Pinch the dough with your fingers; if it doesn't hold together, add up to 2 teaspoons more ice water, 1 teaspoon at a time, pulsing and checking the dough after each addition.

" 58552,"Toast of New York 10 pounds bittersweet chocolate, tempered 5 pounds white chocolate, tempered Cocoa butter Powdered food coloring, as desired Instructions: Make the molds: Place the Elastack molding material in a saucepan over medium heat until melted. Use metal rulers to outline the mold that you would like to make. For my centerpiece, I used drama masks, a phantom mask, a souvenir plate and taxi magnets. Place the rulers on a parchment paper lined sheet pan, and place the item to be molded in the center of that space. Pour the melted Elastack over the item to be molded until it is completely covered. Let this set for about 30 minutes until the Elastack hardens.
When the molds are complete, gently remove the molded item. Now you are ready to fill the cavity with either white or dark chocolate. I used white chocolate for the taxi, plate, phantom mask and 1 of the drama masks. I used dark chocolate for the other drama mask. Use a ladle or spoon to fill the mold with chocolate. Once the chocolate starts to harden, about 5 minutes, scrape the edge clean with a paring knife. When the chocolate sets, it shrinks or retracts from the sides of the mold. A clean edge will keep it from sticking and cracking as it shrinks. You can place the mold in the refrigerator for several minutes to help the chocolate to harden. When the chocolate sets, carefully remove the chocolate from the mold by peeling away the molding material. Repeat this process with all of the molds you have made. Make the statue: Use a ladle to fill a mold with white chocolate. When it is full, empty it into the bowl of chocolate. The inside of the mold should be evenly coated with chocolate. Wipe the edge of the mold clean on the side of the bowl and place it upside down on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. Once the chocolate starts to harden, about 5 minutes, scrape the edge clean with a paring knife. When the chocolate sets, it shrinks or retracts from the sides of the mold. A clean edge will keep it from sticking and cracking as it shrinks. You can place the mold in the refrigerator for several minutes to help the chocolate to harden. Unmold.
If you want to paint the statue, mix together a few tablespoons of the cocoa butter with a small amount of powdered food color. It will be easier if you use a yogurt machine to store and warm your paints. Use a paintbrush to apply color where you are inspired to do so. I also used the copper luster dust to give the statue a realistic look.
If you want to paint the plate, use a dry paintbrush to apply the copper luster dust to the face of the plate.
Make the dark chocolate apple outline: Use a food safe rubber tube that is 6-feet long and 1 1/2-inches in diameter. Position it on a parchment paper lined flat surface. I used heavy cans of fruits and vegetables to shape the tube into the form of an apple. Place the tempered chocolate in a large pastry bag. Use the bag to fill the tube with chocolate. Prop 1 end up so you can see when the tube is full. When the entire tube is full, seal the ends and allow the chocolate to harden. When the chocolate has set completely, carefully use an X-acto knife to cut through the center of the tube. Carefully peel the tubing from the chocolate.
Make the apple stem: Use the same technique as described above to make the apple stem. My finished stem is about 12 inches long.
I used vegetable oil to glaze my chocolate apple and stem to give it a nice shine. Use any oil and apply it with a pastry brush.
Make a base: Use flexible aluminum strips or very large cake ring to form a base. The base I made was 15-inches in diameter. Place it on a parchment paper lined surface. Pour tempered dark chocolate inside the ring to form a 1/2-inch-thick layer. When the chocolate has set, remove the ring and peel off the parchment paper. Make a support pole: Roll a piece of 32-inch long piece of parchment paper into a cone that has a bottom diameter of 21/2 inches and tapers to a point. Tape it closed. This piece will support the mold so make sure it is long enough and thick enough to support the centerpiece you are making. Set the cone on end and fill with dark chocolate. When it is full, invert the cone over the bowl of chocolate allowing the excess chocolate to flow back into the bowl. Spin the cone so the chocolate inside is evenly coated. Let set. When the chocolate has set, repeat this step a few more times. You want the cone to be quite sturdy as the rest of the centerpiece will rest on this cone. Allow the chocolate cone to set until hard. Remove the parchment paper. Use a hot knife to trim the base of the cone so it is flat. Then use the knife to scar the bottom of the cone and the base. You want to make it somewhat textured so it will form a better seal to the base. Use tempered chocolate to glue the pole onto the base. Position it well so you can rest the molded chocolate against it.
Make the theatre tickets: Use an offset spatula to spread a 1/4-inch-thick layer of tempered white chocolate over a sheet of acetate. Let the chocolate set slightly. If you are using the silkscreen, it will be easier if you cut the ticket after you have transferred the design to it. Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler. Hold the silkscreen over the chocolate. Use a plastic scraper with a straight edge. Apply about a teaspoon of chocolate to the scraper and gently pull the chocolate across the design. Carefully lift off the silkscreen. It will dry almost immediately. Use the tip of a hot paring knife to cut the ticket with the centered design. When the chocolate is set, peel off the acetate.
Make the signs and logo decorations: Use an offset spatula to spread a 1/4-inch-thick layer of tempered white chocolate over a sheet of acetate. Let the chocolate set slightly. Use a paring knife to cut the shape of the decoration you would like to make. When the chocolate is set, peel off the acetate. If you want to paint the chocolate, mix together a few tablespoons of the cocoa butter with a small amount of powdered food color. It will be easier if you use yogurt machine to store and warm your paints. Use a paintbrush to apply color where you are inspired to do so. I made signs for NYFD and NYPD and logos for The Mets and The New York Yankees.
If you use an airbrush, simply place a few drops of color in the receptacle of the airbrush and decorate, as you are inspired.

1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar 1 pound (about 3 1/2 cups) confectioners' sugar 2 tablespoons meringue powder 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Gold gel food coloring, for coloring the icing
Black food color marker, for decorating White and gold decorative sprinkles, for filling the cookies
White sanding sugar, as needed
Instructions: For the sugar cookie dough: Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat together the vanilla and egg in a small bowl. Beat the butter, granulated sugar and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed. Once incorporated, increase the speed to medium and beat, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed, until the mixture is slightly creamy, 2 to 3 minutes.
Reduce the speed to low, then slowly pour in the egg mixture and beat until combined. Add the flour mixture in 3 additions; increase the speed as the dough gets thicker to keep the beaters spinning. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the beaters as needed. Once all the flour is just incorporated, increase the speed to medium high and beat until the dough is very smooth, about 5 minutes. Turn the dough out of the bowl and bring it together. Shape into a square and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours and up to overnight. To roll, cut and bake the cookies: Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Generously dust a work surface with flour, then roll the dough out into a square just slightly thicker than 1/8 inch. Use a 4-inch champagne flute cookie cutter to cut out 30 cookies, re-rolling the dough scraps as needed. Divide the champagne flutes between the baking sheets. Refrigerate the cookies on the baking sheets until chilled, about 30 minutes.
On 10 of the cookies, cut a 1/2-by-1 1/2-inch rectangle out of the top half (the bowl part, not the stem) of the champagne flutes with a sharp paring knife.
Bake, rotating the baking sheets from front to back and top to bottom about halfway through baking, until the cookies are golden brown around the edges in spots, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets on a cooling rack, about 30 minutes.
For the royal icing and decorations: Meanwhile, combine the confectioners' sugar and meringue powder in a large bowl. Add the vanilla and 5 tablespoons water and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, adding up to 1 tablespoon more water if needed, until the icing forms thick and glossy peaks, about 2 minutes. Fit 2 pastry bags with 1/16-inch round tips and fill one with half of the white royal icing.
Stir in drops of the gold gel food coloring to the remaining royal icing until you achieve a nice golden hue. Thin the icing with water, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, until the consistency of honey; if you drizzle a little bit of the icing back into the bowl, it should smooth out and sink back into the icing within 8 to 10 seconds. Scoop the gold icing into the second prepared pastry bag.
Cut a sheet of parchment into 10 small strips, each about 2 inches by 1/2 inch. Write New Year's reflections on one side of each strip with a fine-tip pen.
Place the 20 cookies without cut-outs on a work surface covered with parchment. Pipe white royal icing around the outer edge of each cookie, following the pattern of the champagne flutes. Fill in the bottom of the stems with white icing and fill the top 1/4 inch of each champagne flute with white icing. Fill the remainder of each champagne flute with the gold royal icing. Pipe 3 small white dots (to mimic bubbles) on the top right or left corner of the gold icing. Allow the cookies to dry completely, 3 to 4 hours. Once the icing is set and completely dry, use the black food color marker to write \Pop Me Open!\ on the gold portion of 10 of the cookies; set aside. Turn the remaining 10 decorated cookies over so the decorated sides are facing down. Pipe white royal icing around the outer edge of each cookie. Place a cookie with a hollow center on top of each iced cookie, making sure the cookie bottoms align as closely as possible. Fill the hollow centers with white and gold decorative sprinkles. Pipe white royal icing around the outer edges of the hollow cookies. Roll the New Year's reflection notes so the ink side is on the inside and will not touch the cookies. Insert a rolled note into each hollow center and top with the reserved decorated cookies decorated-side up, making sure the cookie bottoms align as closely as possible. (You want to be able to stand the cookies up on their stems when you serve them.) Allow the cookies to set completely, 2 to 3 hours. To serve, fill a small decorated rimmed tray with a thick layer of white sanding sugar. Arrange the cookies so they are standing up in the sugar. Serve immediately.

For the soup: In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, bring the oil to medium heat. Add the shallot and salt and pepper to taste. Sweat until translucent, about 1 minute, being careful not to brown. Add the asparagus to the pot and sweat until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the peas and sweat another minute. Pour in the white wine and deglaze the pot. Add 5 cups water and continue simmering until crisp-tender, another 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. Working in batches (and carefully as the liquid will be hot), puree the soup until smooth in a blender. In the last batch, add the baby spinach and puree; this will give the soup a vibrant green color. Strain back into the pot through a fine mesh sieve. Return to a simmer until slightly thickened, 4 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat. For the Parmesan breadcrumbs: While the soup simmers, pulse the bread in a food processor until you have very coarse crumbs. Once processed, transfer the breadcrumbs to a medium mixing bowl.

1/2 cup fresh orange juice (2 oranges)
1 tablespoon orange zest
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (1 lemon)
6 large egg whites, at room temperature
Pinch kosher salt
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
4 clementines, peeled and cut into wheels 2 ruby red grapefruit, cut into wheels
1 lime, zested
Instructions: For the orange curd: In a medium saucepot, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar together until pale yellow and slightly thickened and the whisk leaves lines behind it. Next, whisk in the orange juice and zest. Set the pot over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, just until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and holds its shape when you drag your finger through it, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the butter until completely combined. Pour the curd into a bowl and let cool to room temperature. If any of the curd got slightly overcooked, put it through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any set egg yolk. Cover the curd with plastic wrap pressed directly to the surface and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. (The curd will hold well for up to 4 days.) For the meringue: Position a rack in the middle of the oven; preheat to 300 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat. Stir together the cornstarch and lemon juice in a small bowl until the cornstarch completely dissolves. Set aside. Place the egg whites and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium-high speed until the egg whites are frothy. With the machine running, slowly stream in the granulated sugar. Increase the speed to high and whip the egg whites until you see ribbons left in the meringue by the whip attachment. Pour in the cornstarch mixture and whip a few seconds more, until stiff peaks form and the meringue becomes very glossy. Mound the meringue in the middle of the baking mat and spread it into a 10-inch round using a small offset spatula -- the shape needn't be perfect, but make sure to spread the meringue in an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then drop the oven temperature down to 200 degrees F. Bake for an additional 45 to 50 minutes. The meringue is done when the top is set and not tacky to the touch, and when a small offset spatula can be slid underneath and come out clean or with very little meringue attached. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the meringue sit for an additional 30 minutes. Remove the meringue from the oven; run a large offset spatula around the circumference to release it from the baking mat. Set a serving platter beside the baking sheet and gently slide the meringue onto the platter. Let sit at room temperature until ready to assemble. For the vanilla whipped cream: Combine the cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla paste in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment. Beat on high speed until soft peaks form. Refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving. To assemble: Spoon the curd into the center of the meringue and spread it in an even layer, leaving a 1-inch border. Spread the whipped cream over the curd. Top decoratively with the clementine and grapefruit wheels. Garnish the entire pavlova with the lime zest and serve immediately.

Butter six 3/4-cup souffle dishes or custard cups.
Stir the butter and chocolate in a heavy, medium saucepan over low heat until melted. Cool slightly.
Whisk the eggs and egg yolks in a large bowl to blend. Whisk in the confectioners' sugar, and then the melted chocolate and the flour. Pour the batter into the prepared dishes, dividing equally. Bake the cakes until the sides are set but the center remains soft and runny, about 11 minutes (or up to 14 minutes for batter that was refrigerated).
Run a small knife around the cakes to loosen. Immediately turn the cakes out onto plates. Spoon Raspberry Sauce around the cakes. Top with Vanilla Sweet Cream and Chocolate Truffles. Cook the raspberries, confectioners' sugar and lemon juice over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain through a fine sieve to remove any seeds and chill. In chilled bowl, whisk the cream until it begins to foam and thicken. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla and continue to whisk just until soft peaks form. Heat the heavy cream in a 2-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan until bubbles begin to form around the edge of the pan. Make sure that you have chopped the chocolate as finely as possible to allow it to melt quickly and easily. Place the chopped chocolate in a medium-size mixing bowl. Make a ganache by pouring about half of the hot cream over the chocolate and letting it sit for 30 seconds to melt the chocolate. Then slowly whisk until smooth and homogenous. Do not add all of the hot cream to the cold chocolate at once; the shock of the temperature extremes would cause the fat in the chocolate to separate.
Pour the ganache onto a plastic wrap-covered baking sheet and spread evenly with a rubber spatula. Cover the ganache with plastic wrap and allow it to cool for at least 4 hours at room temperature.
When the ganache has cooled to the consistency of a thick paste, scrape it into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip. Pipe 1-inch-diameter mounds spaced 1-inch apart on a parchment paper-covered baking sheet. To pipe the mounds, hold the pastry bag at a slight angle and allow the tip to touch the parchment as you begin to pipe. Once you have formed the mound, stop squeezing and lift the tip straight up, leaving a small tail on the top of each mound. You can also use a spoon and drop small mounds of ganache onto the baking sheet. Let the truffles harden in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, until they are hard enough to roll with your hands.
To roll the mound into a ball, place a truffle between both palms, squeeze slightly and roll between your hands. The truffles will look nicer if they are as round as possible.
When all the truffles are rolled into balls, they are ready to be coated. If they have become too soft, place them in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours until they are firm enough to coat.

To assemble dough: Heat the milk with the butter and pour it into a large mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup warm water and the shortening. Add the sugar, salt, egg and yolk. Mix well. Dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup warm water with a pinch of sugar. When the yeast is dissolved, add it to the mixing bowl, along with enough of the sifted flour to create a dough that is not easily stirred. Turn dough out on to a floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic, adding only as much flour as needed to keep dough from sticking to your hands and work surface. When correct texture has been reached, place dough into the greased bowl. Cover the bowl with greased plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm, draftfree spot for 2 hours.
Note: You will not need all of the flour. Save the remaining flour as your dusting flour when shaping your buns.
To rise dough twice: After 2 hours has elapsed, uncover dough and punch it down several times. Turn over in the bowl. Recover bowl and let rise 1 hour more.
To set up to bake: Line 2 shallow baking sheets with parchment paper and sprinkle paper with cornmeal.
To shape buns: After the second rise has been completed, uncover dough and punch down once more. Turn dough out on to a lightly floured surface. Knead briefly and gently. Divide dough into 10 equal pieces and cover all while you work with one. Shape each piece of dough into a smooth ball by first making it round with your hands. Then pull the dough up, pinching at the top of the dough ball. Keep pulling and pinching up at the top until you have a tight ball. Turn ball on its side on the lightly floured surface. With a pastry cutter, cut ball of dough directly in half through the waist of the ball (not through the pinched end). Take one half and place it on top of the other, meeting the cut sides in the middle. Pinch around the circumference of the circle of dough to seal. Flatten the circle gently, but firmly. Shove the pinched seam gently under the bun as you flatten. Lay the buns on the two prepared baking sheets and cover with kitchen towels. Let rise for 30 minutes. Begin timing the rising period after the last bun has been formed.
If topping buns: If you will be topping the buns before baking, immediately after shaping, brush tops of unrisen buns with 1 egg white mixed with 1 teaspoon water. Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds or top with either of the onion toppings listed with the ingredients.
To bake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F for the last fifteen minutes of the rise. Meanwhile melt some butter in a small saucepan. After the rise, uncover buns and brush the tops with melted butter (brush over topping, if using).
Bake buns in the center of a preheated 375 F oven until golden, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush once more with melted butter. Remove the buns to wire racks to cool thoroughly before slicing and enjoying.
To store: Store cooled buns in a large heavy duty plastic bag. If you want to freeze them, double the bag before placing in the freezer. To thaw, let sit on the counter in its original bags until soft.

1/3 cup packed light brown sugar 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/4 cup chopped candied ginger Instructions: For the dough: Lightly grease a large bowl and set aside.
In a small pot, bring the milk just to a boil over medium heat. Watch closely to ensure that the milk doesn't boil over. Add it to a small bowl and let it cool to 105 to 110 degrees F. (It should be warm to the touch but not too hot.) Add the whole egg and yolks and stir to combine.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, cranberries, granulated sugar, yeast and salt. Add the warm milk mixture and mix just until combined.
Switch to the dough hook and knead the dough on low speed until smooth and elastic, about 6 minutes. Add the butter a piece at a time until completely incorporated. Form the dough into a ball, put it in the prepared bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Leave it in a warm, draft-free spot until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
For the topping: Meanwhile, butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
Add 3 tablespoons water to a small saucepan, then add the granulated sugar to the center of the pan. Cook the sugar mixture over medium-high heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until it is a deep amber, 6 to 8 minutes. Whisk in the butter, cream and salt until smooth (be careful, it will sputter). Pour the caramel into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the nuts evenly over the top. Set aside.
For the filling: Mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
When the dough has doubled, tip it out onto a very lightly floured work surface. Knead it once or twice to expel the air and then roll it into a 16-by-12-inch rectangle.
Spread the butter evenly over the surface and sprinkle with the reserved filling and the ginger. Tightly roll up the dough and pinch the top seam closed. With a serrated knife, cut the roll crosswise into 12 equal pieces. Set them in the dish with the topping, spirals facing upward. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let them rest until the dough has almost doubled again, about 1 hour. They should look pillowy and all of the rolls will be touching.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Drop the wedges into the bowl containing the water and lemon juice. If any shelled fava bean is more than 1-inch in length, cut away the thick green skin that sheaths it. Detach the leaves from the lettuce head, discarding any bruised, wilted, or discolored ones. Soak the leaves in two or three changes of water, drain, and shred them fine. You should have approximately 4 cups, but a bit more or less won=t matter too much. If using fresh spring onions, cut off all the green tops and the root ends, then slice them very thin.

" 58666,"Open Hearth Grilled Fish 1 (3 to 4-pound) large mouth bass 1/4 cup olive oil Salt and cracked pepper Louisiana hot sauce
1/4 cup thyme leaves, chopped 1/4 cup basil, chopped 1/4 cup tarragon, chopped 1/4 cup dill, chopped 1 bunch whole mixed herbs Instructions: Have the local lumber company cut a piece of oak, pecan, or cedar 8 inches wide and 20 inches long. Be sure to measure your hearth height and width before cutting the plank. Oil the plank thoroughly with olive oil, rubbing well into the pores of the wood. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. To season the wood, place in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove and allow to cool. Build a roaring fire in your fireplace using 4 to 5 pieces of firewood in order to achieve a large coal bed. Remember that you cook on reflective heat in a fireplace, not the fire itself, so coals are important. Once a coal bed has been established, keep 1 log burning on the back of the fireplace to sustain the coals. Completely scale the fish, leaving the head and tail intact. Remove the gills and rinse the inside cavity. Using a sharp paring knife, cut 3 slits on each side of the fish to the bone. These slits will be used for seasoning and to ensure proper cooking. Rub the fish with olive oil and season inside and out with salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Place chopped herbs in a small mixing bowl and blend thoroughly. Rub herb mixture in each of the 6 slits and on the outside of the fish. Fill the belly cavity with whole mixed herbs. Using heavy butcher's twine, tie the fish to the board in a criss-cross fashion and tie a knot underneath the board to secure it. The twine will guarantee that the fish stays in place and flat against the board during the baking process. Using a fireplace shovel, remove the hot coals from the right or left side of the fireplace approximately 1 foot from the edge. Place the fish head-side up against the side of the fireplace. Be careful that the plank does not get near an open flame, as the board will ignite. Turn the fish every 30 minutes, first head up and then tail up. The fish will need to cook about 1 hour, depending on heat. Test the flesh for doneness with a kitchen fork. The underside of the fish will cook at the same rate since the plank is picking up the heat of the hearth. Remove from fireplace and serve on the plank for a unique presentation. Cooking Instructions for a Conventional Oven: Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Cure the plank as described above and then follow seasoning instructions for fish. Place the fish lengthwise on the hot plank and place on a cookie sheet to catch any drippings that may run off during cooking. Bake on the center rack of the oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until fish is flaky. There is no need to turn the fish during the cooking process. Remove and serve on the plank for a unique presentation.

24 mini candy canes
Instructions: For the gingerbread people: Whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, allspice and salt in a medium bowl until well blended. Beat together the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer starting on low and increasing speed, scraping the sides of the bowl down as needed, until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the molasses and vanilla until combined, then beat in the egg. (The mixture will look curdled.) Turn to low speed and beat in the flour mixture, a little at a time, until the mixture comes together, then increase speed and beat until all the ingredients are well incorporated and you have a sticky dough. Divide the dough in half, flatten into 2 discs and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to overnight. Position 2 racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Keeping the other disc refrigerated, roll 1 disc on a well-floured surface to a thickness of just over 1/8-inch, sprinkling flour on and under the dough as needed and sliding a spatula underneath every so often to prevent sticking. (If the dough looks crackly or breaks apart, press it back together from the outside-edge in.) Dust off the excess flour. Cut out gingerbread people using a 3-inch gingerbread cookie cutter, cutting as close together on the dough as possible. Pull away the extra dough around each cookie and use a small spatula to transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets about 1/2 inch apart, placed in 3 rows of 4. Gather together the scraps, leaving behind the excess flour, then knead them a few times to form a smooth dough again. Reroll them in the same way. If the dough gets too sticky, put it back in the refrigerator, wrapped in plastic, for a few minutes. (If there are any pieces of dough stuck to the work surface, scrape them away with a spatula, flour the surface again and then continue to roll the dough.) Freeze the cookies on the baking sheets to firm them, about 5 minutes.
While the cookies chill, roll the dough scraps together into a long 1/4-inch rope and cut into 1-inch pieces. Remove the chilled cookies from the freezer and extend the left arm of each man with the 1-inch dough pieces by pressing the dough piece onto the tip of each person's arm. (This will reinforce them and double their length.) Make sure the gingerbread people are lined up evenly.
Wrap eight 12-inch-long and 1/4-inch-diameter wooden dowels tightly with foil (keep them smooth), then spray them liberally with cooking spray. Line up 4 gingerbread people head-to-toe and wrap their left arms around the dowel, so that 4 people can hold one dowel at a time with 1/4 inch of space in between them. Repeat with the remaining groups of 4 and chill the cookies on the baking sheet in the freezer for 15 minutes. Repeat with the second disc of dough on the second baking sheet.
Bake the cookies, rotating and switching the position of the baking sheets halfway through, until they are slightly firm to the touch but not browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
Cool the cookies 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack and give the dowels a gentle twist to loosen them. Let the cookies cool completely, then slowly slide the cookies off the dowels one at a time, being careful not to break their arms. (The cookies will continue to firm as they cool.)
For the icing: Combine the confectioners' sugar and meringue powder in a large bowl. Add 4 tablespoons water and beat with a hand mixer on low speed until the frosting thickens and becomes pure white. Separate the icing into bowls and color as desired.
Put the icing into piping bags or resealable plastic bags and snip the corners to the desired size. Use the icing to decorate the cookies, then allow to dry, about 1 hour.
Carefully slide the candy canes in place, with the hook facing behind each head, and pipe a small amount of icing in the holes to lock them in place. Rest on the edge of a cookie sheet with the hooks hanging off to set, about 1 hour. Hang cookies on a mug or glass filled with your favorite holiday beverage.

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 cups confectioners' sugar
One 1.2-ounce bag freeze-dried strawberries, plus more for decorating
2 pounds dark chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons refined coconut oil or vegetable shortening
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Prepare the cake mix as directed; pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely.
Meanwhile, combine the butter and cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using a handheld electric mixer). Mix on medium-high speed until combined and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add in the confectioners' sugar. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until fluffy and combined, about 2 minutes.
Crumble the cake into a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup of the frosting and mix with your hands until smooth and combined.
Line a 15 1/2-by-10 1/2-inch jelly roll pan with plastic wrap. Put the cake \dough\ on top. Cover with another sheet of plastic wrap and pat the mixture into an even rectangle that fills the pan. Transfer the mixture in the plastic to a work surface (the shorter side facing you) and roll out just enough so that the surface is smooth. This helps make the dough even and not patchy. Press the flat side of a ruler against all the sides of the dough so they are straight. The dough should be about 10-by-15 inches.
Put the freeze-dried strawberries in a spice grinder and pulse until finely ground. Add to the bowl with the remaining frosting and beat until combined.
Remove the top sheet of plastic wrap from the dough. Add the strawberry frosting and spread out evenly with a small offset spatula, leaving about a 1 1/2 inch border on the short side furthest away from you.
Roll the dough away from you into a jelly roll shape, using the plastic to roll tightly until it's covered by the plastic. Place it on a baking sheet. Freeze while you make the chocolate coating.
Combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir until melted and smooth, about 6 minutes. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and set aside until cooled and thickened slightly, about 7 minutes.
Meanwhile, unwrap the jelly roll cake and place on a rack set over a baking sheet.
Pour the chocolate over the cake until completely covered. Decorate the top with freeze-dried strawberries. Freeze until the chocolate is set, about 5 minutes.

In a small bowl, cover the chiles with hot water and re-hydrate 30 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure even soaking. Drain and discard the water. (Canned chiles need only be removed from their sauce.) Roast the unpeeled garlic on the griddle or skillet, turning occasionally, until soft, about 15 minutes; cool and peel. Roast 1 1/2 pounds of the tomatoes on a baking sheet 4 inches below a very hot broiler until blackened on 1 side, about 6 minutes, then flip and roast the other side. Cool, then peel, collecting all the juices with the tomatoes. In a food processor or blender, process the roasted tomatoes, rehydrated or canned chiles, and garlic to a medium-fine puree. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in medium-size (4-quart) pot (such as a Dutch oven or Mexican cazuela) over medium-high. Add the puree and stir for about 5 minutes as it sears and thickens. Set aside. If using chorizo, cook in a little oil over medium heat, breaking up large lumps as you go, until thoroughly cooked, about 10 minutes. Scoop it out with a slotted spoon, draining as much oil as possible back into the skillet. Pour 6 tablespoons of the remaining oil into the skillet and return to the heat. When quite hot (drop a stray noodle in ? it should sizzle but not brown immediately), lay in about 1/3 of the noodle nests to fry until noticeably browned, about 1 minute, then flip and brown the other side. Remove with a slotted spoon, draining as much oil as possible back into the skillet, and drain on paper towels. Continue until all have been browned. Add the broth, oregano, and pepper to the tomato sauce. Core the remaining 1 pound of tomatoes and chop into 1/4-inch bits. Add and simmer briskly until the sauce thickens to the consistency of a juicy tomato sauce, about 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt. Add the noodles. In about 2 minutes pull the \nests\ apart (they'll have softened enough to do it at this point), then add the zucchini and the chorizo (if you're using it). Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender but still firm, about 2 minutes. If using the cream, add it now, raise the heat to medium-high and boil quickly until the sauce returns to its previous consistency. Taste again and readjust the salt, if necessary. Stir in half of the grated cheese, scoop into a warm serving dish, sprinkle on the remaining cheese and the cilantro garnish, and it's ready to serve.
