1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons finely ground black pepper, optional
1 1/2 teaspoons fine salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1 1/2 cups rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch dice (2 to 3 stalks)
1/2 cup cold milk, plus 2 tablespoons for brushing 1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup turbinado sugar
Whipped cream, for topping
Instructions: For the macerated strawberries: Combine the strawberries and sugar in a medium bowl. Toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours. For the shortcakes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and pepper if using. Using a bowl scraper or your fingers, work in the butter until the mixture resembles a coarse meal (using your fingers will create a more cake-like texture). Add the rhubarb and toss to coat; make a well in the center. Combine the 1/2 cup milk, the cream and the vanilla, and pour this into the well. Mix just until combined. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead 5 or 6 times, then roll into a 3/4-inch-thick disc. Cut out rounds using a 3-inch biscuit cutter; make sure you don't twist the cutter, otherwise you'll squish the sides and the shortcakes won't rise. Knead the scraps together, re-roll and cut out rounds until all the dough has been used. Place the rounds, bottom-side up, on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each with milk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake until the tops are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheet.

Set out 2 sheet pans. Whisk to combine the flour, cardamom, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and lemon zest in a large bowl and set aside.
Sift the powdered sugar into another bowl to ensure there are no lumps and set aside.
In an electric standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, spread the butter around the bowl by mixing on low for about 20 seconds. Bump the speed up to medium low, and slowly stream in the granulated sugar. Cream the butter and sugar on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
(We are cutting little holes in the butter with the abrasive sugar, and those little holes will expand from the leavening properties of the baking powder during baking so we can get that soft cakey texture for the cookies.)
Scrape down the bowl with a spatula, add the eggs one at a time, and mix on medium until incorporated. Add the vanilla and beat until blended.
Turn off the mixer and add the flour mixture. Mix on low speed until the flour disappears.
Use a number 40 (1 1/2 tablespoons) scoop to portion out your cookies, then roll the portioned dough into small balls. Roll the balls in the sifted powdered sugar, and place on the sheet pan at least 2-inches apart.
Bake for 13 to14 minutes, until the surface of the cookies have cracked and puffed up. The cookies will not be browned. Cool the cookies on a wire rack and serve.
Creaming the butter and sugar together is such an important step. This method ensures that the cakey tender texture characteristic of this cookie is achieved. ","[Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio]

Wrap the beets in foil and roast them until they are easily pierced with a knife, about 1 1/2 hours. Allow the beets to cool slightly then peel them using a paring knife. Cut off the stem and root end of each beet, leaving each with 2 flat sides. Slice the beets in half horizontally creating 8 disks. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, punch out a circle from each half. Set aside the 8 beet circles. Turn the oven up to 425 degrees F. Roll out the pastry very slightly so that it is an even thickness. Cut the pastry into 8 (3 1/4-inch) rounds. Wrap the rounds in plastic and chill well. Prepare the caramel (see Cook's Note below). Place the pie tins on a large baking sheet. Combine the butter and sugar in a heavy-bottomed stainless steel pan. Melt the mixture over high heat. Cook the caramel until it is almost chestnut brown then remove it from the heat. Quickly but very carefully ladle or pour enough hot caramel into each pie tin to just cover the bottom. Allow the caramel to cool and harden. Slice each beet round diagonally 3 or 4 times and divide the slices between the tart tins. Cover each tin with a round of puff pastry. Bake the tarts in the oven until the pastry is puffed and golden, about 20 minutes. Remove the tarts from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes (the caramel should still be hot and soft but not molten?if it cools too long just reheat the tarts long enough to melt the caramel). Carefully turn out each tart onto a plate, letting the juice and caramel run onto the plate. The pastry should be on the bottom and the red beet on top. Serve warm, garnishing each plate with a quenelle of goat cheese or Herbed Chevre. Cook's note: Making the caramel for the bottom of the tart pans is a dangerous process. The caramel gets very hot and can cause serious burns. Be careful! To clean caramel-coated pots and spoons: Boil water in the pot and submerge spoons and ladles. The caramel will soften and is then easy to wash away. Again, be careful. Available at gourmet stores Combine the chevre, shallots, garlic, truffle oil, and olive oil in a food processor or mixer.

Add the eggs and olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Beat the eggs with a fork, then use the fork to break the wall of the well and incorporate the flour into the eggs. Gather the dough into a ball; don't worry if there are lumps. Using the heels of your hands, push the dough away from you, then fold it back over itself and push again (put your whole body into it!). Continue kneading until the dough is smooth and supple, 10 to 15 minutes. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let rest at least 1 hour at room temperature. For the filling: Drizzle olive oil into a large deep pan. Add the pancetta, place over medium-low heat and cook until crisp. Add the garlic and cremini, oyster and shiitake mushrooms, season with salt and saute until the mushrooms are soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the white wine and let cook until completely reduced. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Mix the ricotta Parmigiano-Reggiano and , taleggio in a large bowl. Stir in the mushroom mixture, eggs and parsley and season with salt. Transfer the filling to a large pastry bag and refrigerate if not using immediately. Cut the dough into four pieces. Flatten one piece slightly, then run it through the widest setting on a pasta roller twice, dusting with flour in between if it feels sticky. Fold the length of dough into thirds and run it through the roller two to three more times. Continue running the dough through the roller, reducing the width setting between each run, until you reach the second-to-last setting and the dough is about 1/16 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough. Layer half of the dough sheets between parchment paper, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month (you'll only need half of the dough for the ravioli recipe). For the ravioli: Place the lengths of dough on a floured surface. Lightly brush the lower half of each strip (the part closest to you) with water.

" 72481,"Fresh Chum Salmon Caviar 4 cups canning or pickling salt 1 gallon cold water 2 skeins (egg sacks) fresh chum salmon eggs (Eggs of other salmon species may be substituted, but curing time will be different as noted below) 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil Instructions: In a large glass or stainless steel container, mix salt into water, stirring thoroughly until dissolved. With wire-mesh deep frying basket or other 1/4-inch metal screen, gently separate eggs from egg sack over bowl, by rubbing sack along screen. Take care not to scrape membrane from the egg sack, even if it means leaving some eggs behind. Pour brine mixture over eggs and allow to soak 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Soaking times for other salmon species: Sockeye or Red: 6 minutes; Pink or Humpy: 8 minutes; Coho or Silver: 10 minutes; King or Chinook: 14 minutes). While eggs soak, use tweezers to remove bits of membrane and broken eggshells. When soaking is complete, pour eggs into colander to drain. Rinse eggs quickly with cold water and drain for a few minutes. Cover colander with plastic wrap, place over bowl, allowing it to continue draining in refrigerator. After 8 to 12 hours, transfer the now-sticky eggs into glass bowl. Gently fold in just enough olive oil to make the individual eggs shiny and slick. Serving Suggestions: Salmon or ?red? caviar prepared this way is much less salty than the commercial variety, allowing the sweet flavor of the fresh roe to emerge. Because of the lower salt levels however, it should be refrigerated and consumed within 3 to 4 days. Its mild flavor lends itself to serving with cream cheese and crackers. A traditional favorite is salmon caviar atop celery sticks stuffed with cream cheese. Salmon caviar is delightful when added to salads with creamy herb or ranch-style dressing. This mild version of salmon caviar will be a welcome alternative to the more strongly flavored ?ikura? salmon eggs used in Japanese sushi or sashimi.

In a medium saucepan scald the milk with 1 of the vanilla beans. Split vanilla bean. Beat the milk very gradually into the egg mixture. Return the mixture to the pan and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for about 10 minutes, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon. (Be careful not to let the mixture boil or the eggs will curdle). Remove vanilla bean. Place the pan over ice and stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming. While the custard is cooling, beat the whites with the salt, 4 tablespoons of the sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar until stiff peaks are formed. In a 12-inch skillet, bring the water to a boil with the lemon juice. Lower the heat. Using a large kitchen spoon, carefully slide 8 scoops of meringue, one scoop at a time, into the simmering water. Poach the meringue for 1 1/2 minutes then turn over and poach for 2 minutes longer. Remove the meringues with a slotted spoon to a clean kitchen towel. For the caramel syrup: Place sugar and water in saucepan and swirl (shake pan with circular motion) over moderately high heat until the sugar has dissolved completely. Then let the sugar boil, swirling the pan occasionally, until the syrup turns a light, nut brown. This will take 3 to 4 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat as soon as the desired color is reached; if you let it darken too much, it will have a bitter taste. Pour 1/3 cup of water into the preceding caramel and simmer, stirring, until the caramel has dissolved. To assemble the dessert, pour the custard in a large serving bowl and float the meringues on top. Combine. Immediate drizzle the caramel syrup over the meringues and serve.

Blend on medium speed for 15 seconds, until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Scrape down the sides of the blender and pour in 3 tablespoons of melted butter. Blend it again for a second just to incorporate. Refrigerate the batter for 1 hour to let it rest. If the crepes are made immediately, they have a tendency to be rubbery; when you let the batter rest, the crepes have a better texture and a softer bite. Put an 8-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush with a little melted butter for added assurance. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl it around so it covers the bottom evenly; pour back any excess. Cook for 30 to 45 seconds, until the crepe batter sets. Lightly bang the edge of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen the crepe; then flip it and cook another 30 seconds. The art of flipping a crepe in the air takes practice, so make sure no one is looking when you get the first one going. If this intimidates you, use a heatproof rubber spatula to loosen and flip the crepe. The crepes should be pliable, not crisp, and lightly brown. Slide them onto a platter and continue making the crepes until all the batter is used. Cover the stack of crepes with a towel to keep them from drying out. This makes 10 crepes. Assembly: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Forming the blintzes is kind of like making burritos. Spoon 1/4 cup of the Cheese Filling along the lower third of the crepe. Fold the bottom edge away from you to just cover the filling; then fold the 2 sides in to the center. Roll the crepe away from you a couple of times to make a package, ending with the seam side down. Put an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Brush with melted butter. Pan-fry the blintzes for 2 minutes per side until crisp and golden. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 10 minutes so the egg in the filling cooks slightly and the cheese sets. Using a spatula, transfer the blintzes to serving plates. Spoon the Blueberry Sauce on top, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve right away. Serve with chopped banana and remaining Blueberry Sauce. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve. In a food processor, combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, lemon zest, and egg and blend until smooth. Chill the filling to firm it up a bit so it doesn't squirt out of the blintzes. Combine the butter, blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a small pot over medium-high heat. Bring up to a low boil and stir gently until the berries break down and release their natural juices. The consistency should remain a bit chunky. It will thicken up when it cools down slightly.

Roast the whole garlic heads on a dish in the oven until soft, about 30 minutes. Stage 1: Heat the stock. In a separate pan heat the olive oil, add the shallots or onions, garlic, and celery, and fry slowly for about 4 minutes. When the vegetables have softened, add the rice and turn up the heat. Stage 2: The rice will now begin to fry, so keep stirring it. After a minute it will look slightly translucent. Add the vermouth or wine and keep stirring, it will smell fantastic. Any harsh alcohol flavors will evaporate and leave the rice with a tasty essence. Stage 3: Once the vermouth or wine has cooked into the rice, add your first ladle of hot stock and a good pinch of salt. Separate the roasted garlic cloves and squeeze out the sweet insides into the risotto. Add the thyme and black pepper to the risotto. Turn down the heat to a highish simmer, so the rice doesn't cook too quickly on the outside. Keep adding ladles of stock. Stage 4: Remove from the heat and add the butter and Parmesan. Stir gently. Place a lid on the pan and allow to sit for 2 to 3 minutes. This is the most important part of making the risotto, as this is when it becomes outrageously creamy and oozy like it should be. Eat as soon as possible while the risotto retains its perfect texture. In a frying pan toast the almonds and bread crumbs in a little olive oil until crisp and golden. Season with a little salt. Set to one side. Serve the risotto with the toasted almonds and bread crumbs sprinkled over the top. Lovely. ","[Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Gavi]

Add the onions, season with salt, and bring the pan to a medium heat. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the zucchini and season lightly with salt. Cook the onions and zucchini, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the beaten egg mixture (be sure that the mixture is smooth-no hunks of egg white). Using a small, heatproof rubber spatula, stir the zucchini mixture throughout the eggs. Don't worry about messing up the eggs, they will smooth out. Tilt the pan to allow the uncooked egg mixture to run to the sides of the pan to create a wide, flat \scrambled egg. Swirl the pan around occasionally to loosen the eggs from the bottom of the pan.

Gently lay the right third of the omelet down on a serving plate and flip the other 2/3 of the omelet on top. The omelet should be folded like a letter. Garnish the top with the remaining chives and serve with Mesclun Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette. For the vinny: In a small mixing bowl, combine the vinegar and mustard. Mix until smooth. While mixing, start adding the oil into the vinegar/mustard mix drop by drop. Really-one drop at a time! One the drop has mixed in, add the next drop-this shouldn't really be an arm workout. When the mixture starts to look smooth and velvety, the oil can be added a little bit faster. Continue this way until all the oil has been added. When done, it should look very smooth, shiny, and homogeneous. Add the garlic and season with salt. Taste it, it should taste good! Season with salt again, if needed.

Store the extra in the fridge and bring to room temperature when ready to use.) Season vinaigrette with salt, if needed. Taste! The salad should be very flavorful but not soggy.

If the dough feels too dry, add water, a tablespoon at a time and continue kneading until it is soft and pliable.
Divide the dough in half, roll into two balls, and then use a rolling pin to roll the balls out into two 10-inch pizza crusts. Dust the back of another inverted baking sheet or pizza peel with more flour, semolina or coarse cornmeal and place a circle of dough on top.
Top the dough round with sauce and shredded cheese as desired, leaving a half-inch bare border around the edge. Slide the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet in the oven. (Alternatively, roll out the dough on a baking sheet, top as desired and put the sheet in the oven to bake.) Cook until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a large spatula, transfer the pizza to a cutting board and let sit 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough round.

Add the water and stir until all the ingredients are hydrated and make a smooth batter. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and ferment at room temperature for 60 to 90 minutes, or until the sponge gets foamy and seems on the verge of collapse. To make the dough, combine the sugar, salt, powdered milk, butter, and shortening in a 4-quart mixing bowl (or the bowl of an electric mixer). Cream together with a sturdy spoon (or the paddle attachment) until smooth, then mix in the eggs and the extracts. Knead by hand (or switch to the dough hook attachment) and mix in the sponge and the flour. Add the water, as needed, to make a very soft dough. The finished dough should be very supple and soft, easy to knead, and not wet or sticky. It will take 10 to 12 minutes with the electric mixer and close to 15 minutes by hand to achieve this consistency. (Dough with high amounts of fat and sugar usually take longer to knead because the gluten requires more time to set up.) The finished dough should pass the windowpane test (see NOTE below) and register 77 to 88 degrees F. Lightly oil a large bowl and transfer the dough to the bowl, rolling it around to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Ferment at room temperature for approximately 2 hours, or until the dough doubles in size. Remove the dough from the bowl and divide it into two equal pieces. Form each of the pieces into a boule. Lightly oil two 9-inch pie pans and place 1 boule, seam side down, in each pan. Mist the dough with spray oil and loosely cover the pans with plastic wrap. Proof at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours, or until the dough fills the pans fully, doubling in size and overlapping the edges slightly. (If you only want to bake one loaf, you may retard the second in the fridge for 1 day, although it will take 4 to 5 hours to proof after it comes out of the refrigerator.) Very gently brush the loaves with egg wash. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F with the oven rack on the middle shelf. Bake the loaves for 50 to 60 minutes, or until they register 190 F in the center. After 30 minutes, check the loaves and rotate 180 degrees, if necessary, for even baking. Because of the high amount of sugar, the dough will brown very quickly, but don't be fooled into thinking it is done. It will get darker as the center gradually catches up with the outside, but it will not burn. The final color will be a rich mahogany brown. Remove the bread from the pie pans and place on a rack to cool. The bread will soften as it cools, resulting in a very soft, squishy loaf. Allow the bread to cool for at least 90 minutes before slicing or serving. ","[Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling]" 72518,"G.

While the beans are simmering, roast the peppers over an open flame, gently turning them so the skin is equally charred, and carefully ensuring not to overcook them. Remove from flame and cover with a damp towel for a few minutes. After this, the peppers are ready to be peeled. Once the skin has been removed, briefly dip them in water to ensure the peppers are clean and ready to be stuffed. For the filling: place the soaked black beans in a large pot or pressure cooker with the garlic and cover with water. Cook for 1 hour until beans are soft and creamy. Once the beans are cooked, puree them in a blender until they form a smooth paste. In a casserole dish, heat the oil or lard, add the chopped onions, and fry until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Next, add the mashed beans and fry them together with the onions. Season with salt and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes. Gently slice open the peppers, remove the seeds, and fill the cavity with the refried bean paste. Gently fold the pepper over and press gently to maintain its shape. To make the avocado sauce, slice 2 avocados in half, remove the stone, and spoon the avocado flesh out. Place this in a blender and puree with the raw and cooked green tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, and chiles. Add a cup of cream or yogurt and season with salt. Place the peppers on a plate, pour over the guacamole sauce and garnish with chopped cilantro.

Simmer for 20 minutes until grapes are tender and skins have completely discolored. Using a potato masher squash the grapes to release all of the juices. Do not puree in a blender otherwise your gelee will be cloudy and pick up parts of the skin. Pour the mixture through a sieve over a large measuring cup or bowl with a spout and use the back of a ladle to firmly press the pulp - this will extract as much juice and flavor as possible. This should yield about 3 cups (24 ounces) of liquid. If it is more or less add water or pour out some of the liquid, otherwise the gelatine ratio will be off. Slowly whisk in the gelatin powder, making sure you continue to whisk until it is all fully incorporated. Divide the grape jelly mixture into 4 to 6 glasses depending on the size of your glasses. Gently agitate to remove any surface bubbles then refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours, or overnight, until set. To make the salad: In a small pot, over medium heat, add the sugar, cold water, sliced lemon and ginger. Bring to a simmer, then add in the basil and shut off the heat to allow the mixture to steep, 20 minutes. Cut the grapes in half through the middle and add to a large mixing bowl. Dress the grapes with a little of the syrup and toss to combine. Discard the basil and reserve the extra syrup. To make the whipped cream: Using a balloon whisk, whip the cream, sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Fold the ginger into the whipped cream but reserve a few pieces for garnish. To assemble the dish: When the gelee is set, remove it from the refrigerator and top each glass with a spoonful of the grape salad and a quenelle of the ginger whipped cream. Garnish with basil buds and some slivers of ginger. Drizzle each glass with some of the reserved lemon-ginger syrup and serve. ","[Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Moscato]

Instructions: For the marinade: Whisk together the yogurt, salt, ginger and garlic in a large bowl until combined. Toss the chicken in the seasoned yogurt marinade until evenly coated. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours and up to 24. (Overnight works best.) For the sauce: Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large Dutch oven or wide heavy pot over medium heat. Toss the fenugreek seeds, bay leaves, cardamom, cinnamon and clove in the butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly darker and very fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the onions, season with 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and beginning to caramelize, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until very fragrant and the ginger starts to turn golden and sticks to the bottom of the pot, 2 to 3 minutes.

7 ounces/ 200 ml amaretto 2 tablespoons good-quality cocoa powder, plus extra for dusting 2 packs of sesame snaps 7 ounces/ 200 g dried sour cherries Instructions: Place the chocolate and a tiny pinch of sea salt in a heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, making sure the water doesn't touch the base of the bowl. Leave to slowly melt, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, in another bowl add the sugar to the egg yolks and beat until it has dissolved and is silky-smooth. Whisk the whites in a clean bowl with a tiny pinch of salt until they form soft peaks. Cook's Note: You should be able to hold the bowl upside down over your head without them falling out! In a third bowl, beat the cream until it forms soft peaks. Once the chocolate has melted, carefully lift the bowl out of the pan and put it to one side. Mix 2 1/2 ounces/ 75 ml of amaretto and the cocoa powder into your egg yolks then tip the whipped cream in and mix again. Fold through the melted chocolate until everything is well combined. Finish by tipping in the egg whites and keep folding gently, from the outside in, doing a figure-of-eight, until the mix is smooth and evenly coloured. Spoon or ladle the mousse into a big serving bowl or divide it between little glasses or cappuccino cups. Cover with cling film then pop in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours until set. Right before you're ready to serve your guests, dust some cocoa powder over the mousse. Pop the dried cherries in a small pan with the rest of the amaretto then top up with enough water to just cover the berries. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat off and leave to stand for a bit. Bash up the packets of sesame snaps in a pestle and mortar then open them and tip the contents into the mortar. Serve that next to your chocolate mousse with a bowl of those beautiful cherries on the side so everyone can dig in and customize their own mousse. It may look a bit rustic, but honestly, it's the best chocolate mousse I've ever tasted! ","[Chardonnay, Riesling, Moscato, Pinot Grigio]

" 72681,"Pasta Dough for Ravioli 5 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting 1 teaspoon salt 6 large eggs 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Instructions: To make the pasta dough: In an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour and salt. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and continue to mix. Pour in 1 tablespoon olive oil and continue to mix until a smooth dough is formed. If the dough is too dry drizzle in a bit of water, if it is too wet sprinkle in some more flour. Dust some flour on a work surface, knead and fold the dough until it is elastic and smooth, this should take about 10 minutes. Brush the surface of the dough with the remaining olive oil and wrap the dough in plastic wrap; let rest for about 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax. To make the dough by hand: Combine the flour and salt on a flat work surface, shape into a mound, and make a well in the center. Add the eggs and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the well and lightly beat with a fork. Gradually draw in the flour from the inside wall and mix it with the beaten eggs. Use 1 hand for mixing and the other to protect the outer wall. Continue to incorporate all the flour until it forms a smooth dough. Dust some flour on the work surface; knead and fold the dough until it is elastic and smooth, this should take about 10 minutes. Brush the surface of the dough with the remaining olive oil and wrap the dough in plastic wrap; let rest for about 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax. To roll out the dough: Cut the ball of dough in half, cover and reserve the piece you are not using to prevent it from drying out. Dust the counter and dough with a little flour. Press the dough into a rectangle and roll it through a pasta machine set at the widest setting 2 or 3 times. Guide the dough with your hand as it emerges from the rollers to prevent it from puncturing or stretching. Dust the sheets with extra flour whenever the dough gets sticky. Reduce the setting and crank the dough through again 2 or 3 times. Continue reducing the setting and rolling until the machine is at its narrowest setting; the dough should be paper-thin, about 1/8-inch thick for ravioli. Roll out the other half.

Cover all 4 bowls and refrigerate while you assemble the cake.
Split the angel food cakes in half horizontally using a long, serrated knife. Keeping the layers stacked, cut each cake in half vertically. Arrange 2 of the stacked halves from one cake on a large platter or cake board so that they create an S shape; slide the ends so they are slightly offset. Repeat with the second cake, nestling the halves up against those of the first cake so that together they resemble a thick curved line. (There will be some gaps between the cakes.) Repeat with the third cake. Trim the edges of the arches along the short ends of the cake to create a more or less straight line (these will be the ends of the flag). Use half of the cake scraps to fill in the holes between the cake stacks. Reserve the other half of the scraps.
Remove the top pieces from the cake stacks and set them aside. Spread the bottom pieces with 3 cups of the undyed cream mixture in the large bowl. Scatter the strawberries and blueberries on top. Dollop with 3 more cups of the cream mixture and spread it evenly. Top with the reserved top cake pieces. Fill in the gaps between the cake stacks with the remaining cake scraps.

For the stars: Pipe a blue star in the upper left corner of the cake; use a small offset spatula to press down in the center of the star and then drag the spatula to the right to create a short smear. Wipe the spatula clean. Pipe a white star next to the blue one and repeat the pressing and dragging motion; wipe the spatula clean. Repeat piping and dragging stars in alternating colors, wiping the spatula clean between each, to make 3 rows of stars in the upper left corner of the cake.

Peel the pears, leaving stem intact, if present. Remove bottom stem end with a small melon baller, and continue to scoop up into the pear to remove the core. Place the pears right in the Riesling mixture (poaching liquid) after they are peeled and cored to prevent them from discoloring. (The acidity of the wine keeps them from browning). Add just enough water to cover the pears. To keep the pears submerged in the poaching liquid, cut a circle of parchment paper the size of the pan and lay on the surface of the liquid. Place a small plate on top of the paper to make sure the pears are completely submerged. Cook the pears over medium-high heat, just until the liquid comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and poach the pears until they are just soft. The pears should be tender enough to pierce with a knife. This takes about 20 to 25 minutes for ripe medium pears, but this can vary depending on the size, variety and ripeness of the pear.

Spray a 12 cup Bundt pan with cooking spray. Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
Beat the butter, sugar and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light in color and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then the vanilla until combined.
Alternate folding in the flour mixture and the milk into the batter with a spatula, adding the flour in three additions and the milk in two, starting and ending with the flour, until just smooth. Divide the batter evenly into two medium bowls. Fold the cocoa powder into one bowl and mix until incorporated. Fold 1/2 cup peanut butter into the second bowl and mix until incorporated.
Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon and drop alternating scoopfuls of the batter into the pan. Drag a long wooden skewer through the batter, making sure the skewer reaches the bottom, to marble the colors in a tie-dye effect.

Place the milk in a pan. Halve the vanilla beans lengthwise; scrape out the seeds with a paring knife, then add the seeds and pods to the milk. Bring to a simmer, then cover and remove from the heat. Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Remove the vanilla pods from the milk. Gradually whisk one-third of the warm milk into the egg mixture. Whisk the egg mixture into the remaining milk in the pan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens, 6 minutes. Continue boiling until the mixture is custard-like, 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Slice the butter into pieces and whisk into the custard, then stir in the gelatin mixture.

When ready to fill the puffs, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks with a mixer. Fold half into the vanilla cream filling and half into the chocolate filling. Transfer each filling to a large pastry bag with a 1/4-inch tip and set aside. (To do this cleanly, cuff the open end of the pastry bag over your hand.) For the Pastry Puffs: Unfilled puffs can be frozen for up to a week. To re-crisp, thaw, then brush with a beaten egg; bake 5 minutes at 350 degrees. While the fillings chill, make the pastry puffs: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Bring 1 1/2 cups water, the butter, sugar and salt to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring to melt the butter. Remove from the heat and stir in the flour with a wooden spoon to make a paste. Return to the heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the paste is shiny and pulls away from the pan, 6 to 7 minutes. Cool slightly. Transfer the paste to a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment on medium-low speed to cool, 1 minute. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Transfer the dough to a large pastry bag with a 1/2-inch tip. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, dabbing a bit of dough under the corners to keep the paper in place. Pipe 1 1/2-inch balls of dough onto the paper (about 48 total). Smooth the dough peaks with a wet finger. Bake until puffed, 15 to 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350 degrees and bake until golden, 15 minutes. Turn off the oven; keep the puffs inside 10 minutes to dry out. Pierce each puff with a dry piping tip; transfer to a rack to cool. To Assemble: Fill half of the puffs with chocolate cream and half with vanilla: Insert the tip of the pastry bag into the hole and squeeze until full. Chill the filled puffs 30 minutes before assembling the tower. Make the caramel: Mix the sugar, corn syrup and 1 cup water in a saucepan, cover and bring to a boil over high heat; don't stir. Uncover and boil, swirling the pan, until the syrup turns deep amber, 20 minutes. Immediately dip the bottom of the saucepan in a large bowl of ice water for a few seconds to stop the cooking. Transfer the caramel to a liquid measuring cup and cool slightly (it should still be liquid). Be careful-the caramel will still be hot! Draw a 7-inch circle on parchment paper. Partially dip each filled puff into the caramel and let the excess drip off. Arrange the puffs around the circle. If the caramel hardens, microwave until soft, 45 seconds. Fill the base circle with more puffs for stability, then continue building a conical tower of smaller circles. Top the tower with a single puff. Line your work surface with parchment paper-the next step can be messy. Dip the tip of a fork into the caramel and quickly wave it in circles around the tower to create a web of caramel strands. Repeat. Let set, then slide two spatulas under the paper and transfer the croquembouche to a platter. Tear off the excess paper around the base.

Butter the bottom of the springform pan and line with parchment or waxed paper. Set aside.
To make the base: Beat together the butter and sugar by hand until light and fluffy. Beat in the yolk until smooth. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. With a rubber spatula, gently fold into the butter mixture. The mixture will be crumbly.
Place the dough in the pan and use your hands to pat it down evenly and firmly over the bottom. Bake for about 25 minutes, until the crust is golden and baked through. Transfer to a rack and reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
To make the batter: In the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on the lowest speed just until smooth, no more than 30 seconds. Stop the mixer and scrape down the bowl and beater. Add the sugar in a stream, mixing for no more than 30 seconds. Stop and scrape again. Add 1 cup of sour cream and mix only until it is absorbed, no more than 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining sour cream. Add the eggs 1 at a time, mixing only until each is absorbed; stop and scrape after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.
Wrap heavy-duty aluminum foil around the bottom of the springform pan so it comes at least 1 inch up the sides. Pour the batter into the pan. Place the pan in a jellyroll pan or roasting pan and pour warm water into the pan to a depth of 1/2-inch.
Bake the cheesecake for about 55 minutes, or until it is lightly colored and firm except for the very center. Remove from the oven and lift the cheesecake out of the hot water. Remove the foil and let cool completely on a rack. Wrap the cheesecake and chill overnight.
To unmold the cheesecake, run a knife or thin spatula around the inside of the pan pressing the knife against the pan, not the cake. Unbuckle the pan side and lift off. Leave the cake on the base, or run a spatula under the cake base and slide the cake onto a platter.

Ground black pepper
2 pounds purple potatoes
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup milk
5 cups mixed color cherry tomatoes
4 cups baby spinach
4 cups shredded orange Cheddar Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat the oil in a large heavy pan over medium heat. Finely chop the onion, add to the pan and season with salt. Do the same with the celery and carrot and cook with the onion until they're softened, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often to ensure it doesn't stick. Once the veggies have softened slightly and the onion has turned translucent, grate in the garlic. Stir for a minute until fragrant and then add in the beef. Using a wooden spoon, breakdown the beef so it's in small pieces and continue to stir until all the meat has browned, about 10 minutes. At this point, stir in the tomato paste and then the red wine, stirring until all absorbed. Top with the beef stock and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to a simmer, add in the thyme, bay leaves and season with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Leave to cook until you have a rich thick sticky sauce and most of the liquid has gone, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat. Peel and dice the potatoes. Add to a large pot of salted boiling water and boil until fork tender, about 25 minutes. Drain completely. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher, leaving a bit of purple chunks for texture. Add in the butter and the milk to loosen and season with salt and pepper. Now all your elements are ready for building your rainbow cottage pie. Spoon a thick layer of the beef in a 9- by 13-inch glass baking dish, pressing down to pack it in. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half across the equator and lay them cut-side down over the beef, making sure there are no gaps. Completely cover the tomatoes with the spinach, pushing down gently to flatten and tucking into the corners. Sprinkle the cheese on top of the spinach (this will go gorgeously gooey in the oven). Spoon the mashed potatoes on top in 4 equal dots and then smooth over to cover the whole of the top, making sure no spinach is on show. Use the back of a spoon to add a bit of texture (like frosting a cake) to the mash so it crisps in the oven. Bake until crisp and bubbling and the tomatoes are juicy, 30 to 35 minutes.

Line 1 baking sheet with paper towels and 2 more pans with silpats or parchment paper. Trim the end of the beets. Peel the beets, keeping their round shape to make round chips. Slice into paper thin rounds using a knife or mandoline, adjusting the setting if necessary. In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, 1 cup water, and the sugar and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the beets and boil for 1 to 2 minutes to soften slightly and flavor them. Remove from the heat and let the beets stand in the liquid for 5 to 10 minutes, to cool slightly. (The beets can be prepared to this point refrigerated for up to a week in the liquid, before baking.) Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beets to the towel-lined pan to drain. Lay the beet slices out on the silpat lined baking sheets. The slices can be close to each other, but they should not touch. Place in the warmed oven to dry for 10 to 12 hours, or until crisp and dry. Remove the chips from the oven and, using a small offset spatula, transfer them to a cooling rack. Once cooled, the chips can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. For the Duck: Turn the duck breast skin side down. With a sharp knife, make a cut down the length of the center bone, just to break it. Smack the blade across the bones just to break them slightly; do not cut through the meat. Cutting the bones and leaving the breast on them will prevent the meat from shrinking and curling as it cooks. Season the duck breast with salt, pepper, and sugar. In a large saute pan, heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil over medium high heat. Reduce the heat to medium. Place the breast in the pan, skin side down, and cook slowly, adjusting the heat if necessary, for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown. When browned, remove the breast from the pan and place on a cutting board. Separate the breast meat from the bone. Chop the carcass into small pieces. For the Sauce: Add the chopped bones to the oil remaining in the pan, increase the heat, and saute until the bones are richly browned. Add the shallots and saute for about 2 minutes, or until translucent. Add the garlic, diced beets, 1 teaspoon sugar, and the balsamic vinegar. Pour the red wine into the pan, and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom to remove all the browned bits. Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and strain. Sprinkle the breasts with the cinnamon. Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat in a saute pan just big enough to hold the breast. Place the breasts skin side down in pan, place a small heavy pot on top of the breast to weigh it down, and cook for about 4 minutes to crisp the skin. Remove from the heat. Just before serving, swirl the butter into the sauce. Cut the duck breast in half. If serving 4 people, cut each breast half into 2 pieces. Place the duck on the serving plates; spoon the sauce to the side, garnish with a beat chip, and sprinkle the duck with fleur de sel and black pepper.

In a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag, add the beer, mustard, agave, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine, then add the turkey breast, making sure it is fully coated with the marinade. Put the bag into a bowl to avoid any leakage and refrigerate for 45 minutes. Do not marinate it longer than 45 minutes or the breast will become overly salty. While the turkey is brining, prepare the Red Bell Pepper Pesto. Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F. Drain the turkey brine and put the breast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan (Chef's Note: Do not rinse turkey). Roast until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, on an instant-read thermometer, inserted in the thickest part of the breast, about 1 hour. Remove the turkey from the oven and allow it to cool. This entire process can be done ahead of time. Refrigerate the meat until you are ready to assemble the sandwich. After the turkey has cooled, remove all of the meat from the bone and slice it diagonally into 1/2-inch thick portions.

Add the egg and beat until fluffy. Blend in the vanilla. Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until just combined. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. On a floured surface, roll half of the dough to 1/8-inch thick. Cut into circles using a 3-inch round cookie cutter or the top of a drinking glass. Gather and reroll scraps. Repeat with remaining dough. Place the cookies on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 8 minutes, until just golden. Do not allow cookies to brown. To decorate, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in a heatproof bowl for 1 minutes. The chips may look unmelted, but stir them with a spoon to see if they have actually softened before putting them in for another minute, if necessary. Spoon the melted chocolate into a zipper-lock bag. Seal the bag, pressing out any air. Use a toothpick to make a very tiny hole in one corner of the bag to release a very thin stream of chocolate for writing. To make the spiderwebs, spread white royal icing smoothly over the surface. Immediately, before the icing can set, pipe a spiral of chocolate over the surface, starting in the middle and working outward. Starting in the center, use a toothpick to pull outward through the icing, making a spiderweb design. With beaters or a standing mixer, whip the egg white and lemon juice until frothy. At medium speed, beat in the confectioners' sugar, a little at a time, until the mixture is thick but still liquid enough to beat. Then beat on high until the mixture is thick and glossy, about 3 minutes. Cover the surface with plastic wrap while waiting to use it. Royal icing will set to a firm, glossy finish when applied to a cookie. The icing can be stored, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Cut the pasta dough into 4 portions and work with 1 portion at a time, keeping the remaining dough covered with plastic wrap. Lightly dust the work surface with flour. With a pasta machine or a rolling pin, roll out the dough about 20 inches long and 4 inches wide. Brush the dough with egg wash and arrange 9 to 10 balls of filling on the lower third of the length of the dough, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches apart. Fold the top half over to cover the balls. Press the dough around each ball to seal, making sure that you do not have any air pockets. With a 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut the ravioli. Dust a tray with flour and arrange the ravioli on the tray, dusting with more flour. Repeat with the remaining dough, egg wash, and filling. Refrigerate, covered, until needed. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli until al dente, about 3 to 4 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, over high heat, add the oil and the remaining butter. Cook the butter until it begins to brown. Drain the ravioli and toss into the browned butter, turning to coat both sides. Add the remaining Parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley and hazelnuts and serve immediately. In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine the flour, egg yolks, salt, olive oil, and 2 tablespoons of the water. Process until the dough begins to hold together, then stop the machine and pinch the dough to test it. If it's too dry, add up to 1 more tablespoon of water and process until it forms a moist ball. Turn out on a lightly floured smooth work surface and knead by hand, until a smooth ball is formed. Loosely wrap in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Keep the other pieces covered in plastic while you roll out 1 piece at a time, by hand with a rolling pin or through the rollers of a pasta machine, stretching the dough to the desired thickness. If using a pasta machine, set the rollers at the widest opening. Flatten the first piece of dough into a thick strip no wider than the machine, to enable it to pass through the rollers. If necessary, dust the pasta very lightly with flour. Run the pasta through the machine. Fold in thirds, crosswise, and run through the machine again. Repeat this procedure 2 or more times, until the dough is smooth and somewhat elastic. Set the machine to the next smaller opening and run the dough through the rollers. Continue rolling and stretching the dough, using the smaller opening each time, until the next to the last or the last opening is reached, dusting lightly with flour only as necessary. (The strip of dough will be long. If you don't have enough space on your worktable, halfway through the rolling process cut the strip of dough in half and continue to work with each piece separately, keeping the unused dough covered). Adjust the cutting mechanism to the desired width, cut the noodles, and allow them to dry before cooking. A convenient way to dry pasta is to arrange the cut pasta on a pastry tray sprinkled with flour, preferably semolina flour. As 1 layer is completed, sprinkle flour over the noodles, place a piece of parchment paper over them, and continue layering with noodles and flour. Dry for at least 15 to 20 minutes.

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons dry porcini mushrooms, soaked in warm water for 15 minutes and chopped, liquid reserved 2 tablespoons porcini juice, reserved from above
3/4 cup veal stock 1/4 cup canned or jarred marinara sauce 1/3 cup white wine 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley leaves 1/3 cup grated Parmesan 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 cup minced onion 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves 1 large clove garlic, minced 4 cups fresh tomato puree 1 large fresh basil stem with leaves removed 1 teaspoon sea salt, preferably gray salt Pinch baking soda or sugar, if needed Instructions: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook gently to sweat for about 2 minutes. Do not let the onions caramelize. Add the garlic and rosemary and cook about 1 minute, or until garlic is lightly browned.
Add the veal and pork and cook, smashing the meat apart with a wooden spoon, to keep it from clumping together. Cook for about 2 minutes and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook about 4 minutes, evaporating any liquid and caramelizing the meat.
Add the porcini juice to the meat and cook for 1 minute to evaporate. Add the veal stock and cook for 2 minutes. Add the marinara and the wine. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the parsley.
Toss 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan into the sauce to help it bind. Add some reserved pasta water, as necessary, if the sauce appears too dry. Top with the remaining Parmesan. Heat the olive oil in a large non-reactive pot over moderate heat. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the parsley and garlic and cook briefly to release their fragrance. Add the tomatoes, basil and salt. Simmer briskly until reduced to a sauce like consistency, stirring occasionally so nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot. The timing will depend on the ripeness and meatiness of your tomatoes and the size of your pot. If the sauce thickens too much before the flavors have developed, add a little water and continue cooking.
Taste and adjust the seasoning. If the sauce tastes too acidic, add the baking soda and cook for 5 more minutes. If it needs a touch of sweetness, add the sugar and cook for 5 more minutes. Remove the basil stem before serving.

Instructions: Prepare an ice bath. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add 1 tablespoon salt. Add the grape leaves and gently mix to separate them. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Drain well, plunge into the ice bath and let cool for 2 minutes. Drain well again, separate and lay out on baking sheets lined with paper towels in a single layer. Remove 5 or so of the small or torn leaves and reserve for the bottom of the pan. Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a medium high-sided saute pan over high heat. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the onion is very soft, about 5 minutes; do not allow it to color. Add the rice and cook, stirring constantly, until opaque, about 2 minutes. Add the stock, currants and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, uncovered and stirring a few times, until the rice absorbs the liquid, about 7 minutes. (The rice will only be par-cooked; it will continue to cook in the leaves.)

Mix together the yogurt and salt, and spoon into the cheesecloth. Wrap the edges of the cloth over the top of the yogurt, and place the sieve over a large bowl to collect all the whey that drips off. Place your contraption in the fridge and let it drain overnight. What's left on the top of the cheesecloth is labne!
For the vinaigrette: Use a sharp knife to separate the skin of the preserved lemon from the flesh. Discard the flesh. Cut the skin into a julienne, and then into a small 1/8-inch dice. Mix together the preserved lemon, olive oil, lemon juice and a small pinch of salt. Pit the green olives; I use a cherry pitter, which makes an easy and fun job out of it. Cut each olive in half lengthwise, then give them a rough chop. Mix into the vinaigrette.
Gently toss the greens into the vinaigrette. Spoon a few dollops of labne onto a plate or platter; top with the kohlrabi, a spoonful or two of the preserved lemon vinaigrette, a scattering of greens and olives, a few cracks of black pepper, and a pinch of sea salt. Repeat this once more, layering greens, kohlrabi, labne, pepper and sea salt. ","[Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Vermentino, Grner Veltliner]

There are two options for making a chocolate canvas. The first one requires a plastic deli tray, on which you pour a 1/4-inch-thick layer of white chocolate (remember, the chocolate canvas will assume any pattern that exists on the tray). Allow it to set, and when it hardens, the chocolate will retract from the sides of the tray. To unmold the canvas, simply overturn the tray, being careful to support the chocolate. The second way is to use an offset spatula to spread a 1/4-inch-thick layer of tempered chocolate onto a sheet of parchment paper, being sure to spread it all the way to the edges. Lift the chocolate-covered paper by its corners and move it to a clean space on your work surface. Let the chocolate harden slightly, 4 to 5 minutes. The chocolate will be firm enough to cut but it will not be hard. Use the tip of a sharp paring knife or X-Acto knife to cut a square or rectangular \canvas. Paints: Mix cocoa butter with food coloring until it has the viscosity of cooking oil. How to Temper Chocolate(From Dessert Circus, Extraordinary Desserts You Can Make At Home by Jacques Torres): Chocolate is tempered so that after it has been melted, it retains its gloss and hardens again without becoming chalky and white (that happens when the molecules of fat separate and form on top of the chocolate). There are a variety of ways to temper. One of the easiest ways to temper chocolate is to chop it into small pieces and then place it in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time on high power until most of the chocolate is melted. Be very careful not to overheat it. (The temperature of dark chocolate should be between 88 and 90 degrees F, slightly warmer than your bottom lip. It will retain its shape even when mostly melted. White and milk chocolates melt at a temperature approximately 2 degrees F less because of the amount of lactose they contain.) Any remaining lumps will melt in the chocolate's residual heat. Use an immersion blender or whisk to break up the lumps. Usually, chocolate begins to set, or crystallize, along the side of the bowl. As it sets, mix those crystals into the melted chocolate to temper it. A glass bowl retains heat well and keeps the chocolate tempered longer. Another way to temper chocolate is called seeding. In this method, add small pieces of unmelted chocolate to melted chocolate. The amount of unmelted chocolate to be added depends on the temperature of the melted chocolate, but is usually 1/4 of the total amount. It is easiest to use an immersion blender for this, or a whisk. The classic way to temper chocolate is called tabliering. Two thirds of the melted chocolate is poured onto a marble or another cold work surface. The chocolate is spread out and worked with a spatula until its temperature is approximately 81 degrees F. At this stage, it is thick and begins to set. This tempered chocolate is then added to the remaining non-tempered chocolate and mixed thoroughly until the mass has a completely uniform temperature. If the temperature is still too high, part of the chocolate is worked further on the cold surface until the correct temperature is reached. This is a lot of work, requires a lot of room, and makes a big mess. A simple method of checking tempering, is to apply a small quantity of chocolate to a piece of paper or to the point of a knife. If the chocolate has been correctly tempered, it will harden evenly and show a good gloss within a few minutes.

For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium heat; after about 15 minutes, turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium-low (you want the temperature to be 350 degrees F). For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ash-over briquettes to one side of the grill. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.) Open a 12.5-inch-by-8.5-inch flat fold-over grill basket (or two 19.4-by-1.5-inch kabob baskets) and place 8 of the graham cracker squares flat on the surface (dividing them between the kabob baskets if using). Top each graham cracker with 1 of the milk chocolate pieces. Place 2 marshmallow halves side by side on top of the chocolate with the cut-sides facing up (this will help the top graham cracker stay in place.) Place 1 of the remaining 8 graham cracker squares on top of each of the assembled stacks. Carefully close and clasp the grill basket(s) according to the manufacturer's directions, taking care not to crack any of the graham crackers. Place the grill basket onto the indirect section of the grill, cover the grill and cook until the chocolate just begins to melt and the graham crackers and marshmallows are beginning to toast, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the grill basket(s) and continue to grill with the lid open until the other graham crackers just begin to toast and the marshmallows are melting and toasted, about 1 minute more.

Cook, stirring, until the brine mix is dissolved then remove from the heat. Add 2 gallons of ice and stir until dissolved and the liquid is cool to the touch. Put the turkey breasts in the brine, cover and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours. Remove the turkey breasts from the brine and place in a colander. Rinse thoroughly, then transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Dry both turkey breasts with paper towels and use your fingers to create a pocket between the breast meat and skin. Coat each breast with the softened butter, being sure to push the butter into the pocket underneath the skin.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of the oil onto a baking sheet. Put the carrots, garlic, celery, lemon and onion on the baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Toss the vegetables to coat with the oil and spread in an even layer. Put the rosemary, thyme and sage on top of the vegetables and season with 1 tablespoon of the poultry seasoning. Put both turkey breasts on top skin-side up and season with the remaining poultry seasoning. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over the turkey breasts and roast until the skin is crisp and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breasts reads 165 degrees F, about 1 hour.
Allow the roasted turkey to rest on the baking sheet for 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Pour the juices remaining in the baking sheet into a fat separator for use in the turkey gravy.
For the biscuits: Separate the dough into biscuits and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the top of each biscuit with melted butter and sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon grated Cheddar. Bake according to the package directions until golden brown. Set aside and keep warm.
For the home fries: Put the frozen potato chunks on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat the potatoes and roast according to the package directions until golden brown and crispy. Set aside and keep warm.
For the turkey gravy: Put the turkey gravy in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the chicken stock and the defatted liquid from the baking sheet. Cook about 3 minutes. Add the Cheddar and cook, stirring, until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes more. Stir in the dried sage and a pinch of black pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
For the cranberry relish: Stir together the cranberry sauce, lemon zest, cinnamon, a pinch of salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
To assemble the sandwiches: Slice the turkey breasts into 1/4- to 3/8-inch-thick slices and halve each biscuit. Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Working in batches, fry the eggs until the whites are set and the yolks are runny, about 3 minutes each. Sprinkle each egg with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Place a heaping tablespoon of cranberry sauce on the bottom half of each biscuit. Top the cranberry sauce with 1/3 cup home fries. Top the home fries with 3 slices of roasted turkey breast. Drizzle each sandwich with 2 tablespoons of warm gravy and top with more cranberry sauce. Gently place a fried egg on top of each and sprinkle with the parsley. Top each sandwich with the top half of the biscuits and serve immediately.

If working in large amounts cover bowl with a damp towel to keep from drying out. Take a piece of the dough about the side of a cue ball, and roll into a firm ball. In a tortilla press or with a hard flat book or cutting board, line with 2 pieces of plastic. Place masa ball in the middle and apply pressure until ball pushes out to 4 to 5-inch diameter. (if edges of patty are cracked deeply the dough maybe too dry or if the patty does not remove from the plastic easily the dough maybe too moist.) Heat a cast iron pan to very hot. Place masa patty on pan without any oil, brown on both sides, approximately 1 minute on each side. Remove and let cool. While still warm, remove the center of the dough, and form the edges up, making a hollow tart like shell. Heat 1-inch of canola oil to 350 degrees F. Add sope shells to oil and cook on both sides until crispy and golden brown. Hold warm for service.

Combine the butter, almonds, sugar, cocoa powder, egg yolks, cinnamon, flour and cayenne in a food processor and pulse to make a paste. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 10-by-18-inch rectangle. Spread the cocoa mixture over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on one of the long sides. Brush the clean border with water. Tightly roll the dough into an 18-inch log, rolling toward the clean border; pinch the seam to seal. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet; refrigerate until firm, 30 minutes. Slide the parchment off the baking sheet and cut the log in half lengthwise with a chef's knife. Slide back onto the baking sheet and pinch one end together with the cut sides facing in. Twist the two halves together, crossing one over the other a few times. Pinch the end together, then tuck both pinched ends under the loaf slightly. Cover the loaf loosely with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until plump, 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Uncover the loaf and bake, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until golden brown (a thermometer inserted into the middle should register 170 degrees F to 175 degrees F), 30 to 35 minutes. Make the topping: Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Brush the warm loaf with the melted butter and sprinkle with some of the cinnamon sugar. Let cool, then sprinkle with more cinnamon sugar. Warm 1/2 cup water and the milk in a saucepan over low heat until a thermometer registers 100 degrees F to 110 degrees F. Remove from the heat and sprinkle the yeast on top, then sprinkle with a pinch of the sugar; set aside, undisturbed, until foamy, about 5 minutes. Whisk the melted butter, egg yolk and vanilla into the yeast mixture until combined. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, the remaining sugar, the salt and nutmeg. Make a well in the center, then add the yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon to make a thick and slightly sticky dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until soft and elastic, about 6 minutes. Shape into a ball. Brush a large bowl with butter. Add the dough, turning to coat lightly with the butter. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until the dough is doubled in size, about 1 hour, 15 minutes. Turn the dough out of the bowl and knead briefly to release excess air; re-form into a ball and return to the bowl. Lightly butter a large piece of plastic wrap and lay it directly on the surface of the dough. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
