Whisk together the egg yolks, milk and sour cream in another medium bowl. Whisk the yolk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. The batter will be lumpy. Allow the batter to rest while you whip the egg whites.
Put the egg whites in another medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the whites until stiff peaks form, about 1 minute. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
Heat an ebelskiver pan on medium heat for 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low heat. Put a cube of butter into 4 of the wells; it should barely sizzle when it hits the pan. Use the back of a spoon to slide the butter up the sides of the wells so that each well is coated and some butter pools at the bottom. Fill the buttered wells almost to the top with batter, about 2 tablespoons each. Repeat with the butter and batter in the remaining 4 wells. (You are working in batches to prevent the butter from burning.)
Cook until the batter puffs and bubbles on top, 3 to 4 minutes. Then take a wooden skewer, push it through the raw batter and into the bottom crust of each ebelskiver to turn it and confirm the bottom is set into a golden brown crust (if it's not, return the dumpling to its original position and let it continue to cook). Using the skewer, turn the ebelskivers so the cooked parts are half-in, half-out of the cups. Raw batter will spill into the wells but the dumplings should hold their shape. (If a dumpling does not slide up easily or hold its shape, slide it back to its original position and give it more time to cook and set.)
Cook until the new undersides are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Carefully stuff the desired filling into the openings. (For each ebelskiver use 1 large or 2 small raspberries, 3 or 4 semi-sweet chocolate chips or a heaping 1/2 teaspoon of fruit preserves or jam.) Use up to 1 teaspoon of additional batter to top the filling in each ebelskiver. Using the skewer and a finger, if necessary, turn the ebelskivers once more so the additional batter is now on the bottom of the wells. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more.
Check all sides of the ebelskivers: If there are pale spots on some, turn them down so they brown against the bottom of the pan for a few seconds. When they are done, the ebelskivers should be evenly deep golden brown and a skewer inserted deep into the dough, avoiding the filling, comes out clean. If you find that some are cooking much more quickly than others, rotate the pan occasionally to even out the heat.
Remove the ebelskivers from the pan. Repeat the buttering and turning process with the remaining batter to make 6 or 7 more ebelskivers. By the second batch, the pan will be significantly hotter, so you won't need to increase the heat to medium to get started and the ebelskivers will cook more quickly.
Dust the ebelskivers with confectioners' sugar and serve warm with maple syrup.

You want the butter to be cool but pliable.
You can crush the tea with a mortar and pestle or you can put it between pieces of parchment or wax paper and crush with the bottom of a glass. Any way you do it, you want to end up with enough crushed tea to measure 1 1/2 teaspoons.
Put the tea, sugar and salt in a large bowl and, using your fingertips, rub the ingredients together until you smell the aroma of the tea. Add the flour and stir everything together to mix well.
Cut the butter into 16 pieces. Drop them into the bowl, toss with your fingertips just to coat the pieces and then set to work rubbing the butter into the flour mixture to make a soft dough that will stick together when you press it between your fingers. Knead the dough gently to work it into a ball and then divide the ball in half.
Shape each piece of dough into a log about 7 inches long. Take care that the logs are solid-it's easy to end up with hollows (you can feel them), which will turn into holes in the cookies. Wrap the logs and refrigerate them for at least 3 hours, or freeze for at least 1 hour.
When you're ready to bake: Position the racks to divide the oven into thirds and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Sprinkle some raw, sanding or granulated sugar on the counter and roll the logs in it, just to coat the exterior. Trim the ends of the logs if they're ragged, then slice into rounds that are 1/3 inch thick. Put the cookies on the baking sheets, at least 1 inch apart.
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back at the midway point, or until the cookies are golden brown on the edges and bottom but still pale on top.

Adjust an oven rack to the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 10-by-15-inch baking sheet with butter. For the crust: To form the bottom crust, place 1 pie crust between two large pieces of floured parchment paper and roll into a 14-inch round. Lay the round over half of the prepared baking sheet; there will be overhang on the edges. Repeat the rolling process with a second pie crust. Lay it over the remaining exposed side of the baking sheet so that the two crusts overlap in the center of the pan; there will be overhang on the edges. Press together the overlapping crusts to make a tight seal. Transfer the filling to the crust and spread in an even layer. Dot the top with the butter. For the lattice crust: Repeat rolling the remaining 2 pie crusts into two 14-inch rounds. With a chef's knife or a pizza cutter, cut each crust into 1-inch-wide strips. Lay half the strips diagonally across the entire pie, about 1-inch apart. Weave the remaining strips diagonally across the first strips to make a lattice pattern. Trim the the lattice ends leaving an overhang, Press together the ends and the bottom edge of the crust to seal, then fold and crimp the edge as desired. Brush the lattice and edge of the crust with the cream and sprinkle generously with some granulated sugar. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, 45 to 55 minutes.

I spread my potato starch onto parchment paper lined baking sheets and placed them in a slightly warm oven for a few hours. In the interim, determine or make your candy mold. You could use a Champagne cork that is cut in half. Insert a wooden dowel into the cork. I used another method. I filled a regular polycarbonate candy mold with chocolate. When the chocolate cooled, I unmolded the pieces and glued them to a flat piece of wood measuring 1-inch by 15 inches. I did it that way so I could make more indentations faster. Place the potato starch in a container that will allow you to have a layer of starch at least 1 1/2-inches deep. Carefully press the mold into the potato starch to make the indentation. Carefully remove the mold. Repeat as many times as your container will allow. Place the sugar and water in a saucepan and boil to 119 degrees C (246 degrees F). When it reaches that temperature, remove it from heat and add the alcohol. Pour the mix into the funnel tool and carefully fill the impression with the candy mixture. Carefully cover the filled impressions with more potato starch. Allow to set at warm room temperature for about 10 hours. If the candies do not have a strong setting, leave them for an additional 4 to 6 hours. Be very careful that the container is not moved or the candy mixture will not set. Be mindful of excess vibrations as well. After about 10 hours, delicately remove the candies from the potato starch. At this stage, they can be served or coated with chocolate. Serve.

Sift flour into a large bowl, 1 big enough to get both hands inside. Cut the shortening into the flour with a fork until it becomes the texture of moist meal. Add buttermilk and stir it in with a fork. Add another dash or two if dough isn't sticky. The trick is to get dough just as moist and sticky as possible, but not too sticky to work. Work dough into a ball in the center of the bowl and sprinkle lightly with flour so it won't stick to your hands. Lift ball of dough out and knead gently on a floured dough board or smooth surface. Fold the dough over in a clockwise manner with one hand and press it out with the other hand. Don't over knead ? just to the point where the dough is soft and consistent. Pinch off a golf ball size ball and press out between the palms to about a quarter to 1/2-inch thickness and lay out on a slightly greased (with shortening) bread pan. Bake in oven for about 15 minutes. The secret here is to learn, through trial and error, how to get the dough as full of buttermilk as possible and yet keep it manageable.

On the stovetop, brown the lamp, fat-side down, in a large roasting pan. Remove when nicely browned across its middle (you won't get much more than this) and set aside while you fry the shallots, garlic and carrot briefly. Just tip them into the pan - you won't need to add any more fat - and cook them, sprinkled with the salt, gently for a couple of minutes. Pour the water over and then replace the lamb, this time fat side up. Let the liquid in the pan come to a boil, then tent with foil and put in the preheated oven. Now just leave it there while you sleep. I find that if I put the lamb in before I go to bed, it's perfect by lunchtime the next day. But the point is, at this temperature, nothing's going to go wrong with the lamb if you cook it for a little less or a little more. If you want to cook the lamb the day you're going to eat it, heat the oven to 325 degrees F and give it 5 hours or so. The point is to find a way of cooking that suits you: you know what sort of pottering relaxes you and what makes you feel constrained; how much time you've got, and how you want to use it. Don't let the food, the kitchen or the imagined expectations of other people bully you. With the homily over, about 1 hour before you want to eat, remove the lamb from the pan to a large plate or carving board - not that it needs carving; the deal here is that it's unfashionably overcooked, falling to tender shreds a the touch of a fork. This is the best way to deal with shoulder of lamb: it's cheaper than leg, and the flavor it deeper, better, truer, but even good carvers, which I most definitely am not, can get unstuck trying to slice it. To finish the lamb salad, simply pull it into pieces with a couple of forks on a large plate. Sprinkle with more sea salt and some freshly chopped mint, then cut the pomegranate in 1/2 and dot with the seeds from 1 of the halves. This is easily done; there's a simple trick, which means you never have to think of winkling out the jeweled pips with a safety pin ever again. Simply hold the pomegranate 1/2 above the plate, take a wooden spoon and start bashing the curved skin side with it. Nothing will happen for a few seconds, but have faith. In a short while the glassy red, juicy beads will start raining down. Take the other 1/2 and squeeze the preposterously pink juices over the warm shredded meat. Take to the table and serve. What I do with the leftovers is warm a pita bread in the microwave, and then spread it with a greedy dollop of hummus, then take the chill off the refrigerated lamb in the microwave and stuff the already gooey pita with it. Add freshly chopped mint, black pepper and whatever else you like; raw, finely chopped red onion goes dangerously well.

Prepare two baking sheets by greasing them and lining with parchment. Sift the matzo cake meal, potato starch and salt together, set aside. In a mixer whip the eggs and sugar, for about 8 minutes. The eggs should be very light in color and a thick foam. At the very end, add the vanilla and zest. Sift the dry ingredients over the egg foam. Very gently, but thoroughly, fold the dry ingredients into the egg foam. Pour the batter into one of the prepared pans and spread evenly with a spatula. Bake the cake for about 18 minutes or until golden and dry when poked with a cake tester. Repeat with the second cake layer. To make the buttercream: In a small pot, fitted with a candy thermometer, heat 2 cups sugar, water and cream of tartar to 242 degrees F. This will take several minutes, so get your eggs started. Whisk together the eggs, yolks and 1/3 cup sugar. Beat the eggs on medium high speed until light in color and thick. Once the sugar has reached 242 degrees F, add it very carefully and slowly to the eggs, while the beater is going on slow speed. Be sure to pour the syrup along the edge of the bowl, not directly onto the beater or it will splatter. Continue beating the egg mixture on medium-high speed until the eggs have cooled, about 8 minutes. Once the eggs are cooled, add the butter 2 tablespoons at a time. The mixture will go through a stage when it looks soupy and curdled, but keep adding the butter and it will come together. After all the butter is added, mix in the vanilla. The buttercream will be smooth and glossy. Divide 1/3 of the buttercream into a separate bowl and add the poppy seed paste. To the remaining buttercream, add the melted chocolate. If you are not going to use the buttercream right away, cover it and leave it at room temperature for up to 24 hours. When you are ready to use it, give it a good stirring or put it back in the mixer and beat with the paddle attachment until smooth. To make the soaking syrup: In a small saucepan heat the sugar, water and zest over medium heat until the sugar has fully dissolved. Cut each sheet of cake into 4 equal pieces (they will be about 4 inches wide and 12 inches long). Lay the first layer of cake on the serving platter and brush with the soaking syrup. You want to dab the syrup on, but don't overly saturate the cake or it will be soggy. Spread a thin layer of the poppy seed buttercream over the soaked layer. Repeat with 5 more layers and then finish with the 7th layer of cake. This will leave you with one extra. Since my cake is not traditional anyway, you should feel free to use up that last layer. If you want to keep it to seven layers, then I suggest you use that lonely extra layer as a snack. If your layers need squaring up, just trim them with a sharp serrated bread knife. Stir the chocolate buttercream to make sure it is smooth and cover the entire cake in a nice even layer. It is okay if it isn't perfectly smooth, because we're going to add some rough stripes to the outside. Take a small blob of buttercream on the end of your spatula, and starting at the end of the cake, on the bottom, spread that blob in a stripe along the cake. Repeat over and over again, but alternate which side you start on. Repeat this on the top as well. You will end up with rough stripes all over the cake, which gives the cake some texture. Using a sharp chef's knife, scrape the smooth side of a bar of chocolate with the blade, so that the chocolate curls up. If the chocolate is very cold and brittle, try sitting it in the sun for a few minutes and the curls will come more easily. Cover the top with the chocolate shavings.

Add the clam juice and continue to reduce until mixture equals 1 cup. Add the clams, cover pot, and steam until barely open. Immediately remove the clams to a small bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Strain the liquid through cheesecloth, rinse pan, and return liquid to pan. Add the shallots, and reduce until mixture has thickened slightly, about 1/4 cup. Add the olive oil, tomatoes, a drop of lemon juice, chopped parsley, and set aside in a warm spot. Remove clams from shells, and season them lightly with salt. Set aside. Drain the artichokes and add them to the oil, and cook gently for 10 minutes. They will bubble vigorously as the moisture evaporates. The artichokes will be done when golden and slightly wrinkled (test one to be sure). Remove from oil, season with salt, and set aside. To serve, place a small pile of artichokes in the center of four plates. Place 5 clams around each pile, and spoon the vinaigrette over them. Sprinkle top with toasted almonds, and garnish with a few drops of lemon juice, sliced pearl onions, and sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately. ","[Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Ros]

Generously butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan (preferably nonstick). Wrap the outside with aluminum foil, covering the bottom and extending all the way up the side, so water will not leak into the cake as it bakes.
Place both flours, the xylitol and salt in a food processor and process for 15 seconds. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture pulls together, about 30 seconds. Add 1 tablespoon of the cream and the egg yolk. Pulse until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. If it is still stiff, add another tablespoon of cream. Flour your fingers and gently press the dough into the bottom of the prepared springform pan until it is covered. Bake the crust just until it no longer looks moist on the top and feels set when you touch it (do not overbake), 7 to 8 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Leave the oven on.
For the filling: Beat together 1/2 cup of the Xylitol, the arrowroot and one package of the cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer (using the paddle attachment if you have it) on low about 3 minutes to make a stable starter batter. Blend in the remaining cream cheese, one package at a time, scraping down the bowl after adding each one, about another 3 minutes.
Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat in the remaining 1/2 cup xylitol. Add the eggs, beating well. The batter will look light, creamy, airy, and almost like billowy clouds. Be careful not to over mix!
Spoon the batter over the baked shortbread crust. Place the springform pan in the center of a large shallow pan and add hot water to the larger pan so that it comes about 1 inch up the side of the springform. Bake until the edge is light golden brown and the cake is light yellow beige, about 1 hour. If the center is still very jiggly, let the cake bake for 5 to 10 minutes more.
Gently remove the cake from the water bath, transfer it to a wire rack, remove the foil, and leave it on the rack for at least 2 hours and up to 4 hours. The less you move it, the less likely it is the cake will crack. Once it has cooled, leave the cake in the pan, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight until it is completely cold.
To serve, remove the springform ring from the cake and serve from the bottom of the pan (do not try to transfer it to a serving platter). Cover any leftover cake and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Do not freeze this cake.

Put a medium saucepan on the stove over high heat. Put the figs, honey, and water in the pan, stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and allow the water to simmer. The honey and natural sugars from the figs should thicken the water. Continue to simmer figs until a sauce is achieved that is thick enough to cover the back of a spoon. When sauce has reached that consistency, remove from heat. Put \fig sauce\ in a refrigerator-safe container, and allow cooling for at least 20 minutes. Spread a sheet of puff pastry out on a clean, lightly floured surface. Scoop a small amount of fig sauce on the puff pastry sheet with about 2 inches around the sauce on every side. Put a piece of Brie on top of the sauce. Carefully fold the edges of the puff pastry over the cheese. Squeeze the edges of the pastry together then carefully flip the pastry over, so the smooth surface of the pastry is facing up. Gently take the pastry and put it on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat this until all the cheese is used. You should have 8 small stuffed pastries. When all the pastries are on the sheet tray, take a pastry brush, and lightly brush egg whites on the top and sides of each pastry, this will give the pastry a shine when it comes out of the oven.

Make a hole (this is also called a well) in the center of the flour pile that is about 8 inches wide (bigger is definitely better here). Crack all of the eggs and the yolk into the hole and add the olive oil, salt and 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Using a fork, beat the eggs together with the olive oil, water (or more if needed) and salt. Using the fork, begin to incorporate the flour into the egg mixture, be careful not to break the sides of the well or the egg mixture will run all over your board and you will have a big mess! Also, don't worry about the lumps. When enough flour has incorporated into the egg mixture that it will not run all over the place when the sides of the well are broken, begin to use your hands to really get everything well combined. If the mixture is tight and dry, wet your hands and begin kneading with wet hands. When the mixture has really come together to a homogeneous mixture, THEN you can start kneading. When kneading it is VERY important to put your body weight into it, get on top of the dough to really stretch it and not to tear the dough. Using the heels of your palms, roll the dough to create a very smooooooth, supple dough. When done, the dough should look VERY smooth and feel almost velvety. Kneading will usually take from 8 to 10 minutes for an experienced kneader and 10 to 15 for an inexperienced kneader. Put your body weight into it, you need to knead! This is where the perfect, toothsome texture of your pasta is formed. Get in there and have fun! When the pasta has been kneaded to the perfect consistency, wrap it in plastic and let rest for at least 1 hour. If using immediately, do not refrigerate. To roll the pasta: Cut off 1/3 of the pasta dough, reserve the rest and keep it covered. Squash the pasta with the heels of your hands to facilitate it going through the pasta roller. Dust with flour. Put the pasta through the roller set on number one. Roll the dough through 2 times, dusting it with flour if it feels sticky or tacky. Fold the pasta into thirds and put it through the machine on number one again. Change the setting on the pasta roller to number two and run the pasta through. Continue to roll the pasta through the machine, changing the setting each time to a larger number (this will make the opening on the pasta machine smaller). When you get to the desired thin-ness (I recommend number six), cut the pasta into 10-inch lengths. Flour the dough generously and stack them in a pile. Cover the stack with plastic or a clean tea towel and proceed rolling the rest of the pasta. When the pasta is all rolled, take 3 sheets of pasta and fold both ends of the pasta over each other until they meet in the middle. Using a sharp knife, cut the pasta rolls into 1-inch widths. Unroll the pasta \ribbons\ and dust with semolina and reserve on sheet trays. When ready to use, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes.

2 bay leaves
1 onion, cut into small dice
4 cups crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
Kosher salt Extra-virgin olive oil, for serving Grated Parmesan, for serving Instructions: For the pasta dough: Whisk the 00 or all-purpose flour and the semolina flour in the bowl of a stand mixer to combine. Make a well in the center. Combine the whole eggs, yolks, milk and olive oil in a small bowl and pour it into the well. Using the dough hook, mix on low speed until the dough just starts to come together, then increase the speed to medium and mix for 5 minutes. Lightly flour your work surface and turn the dough onto it. Knead the dough by hand until it is smooth and elastic, and springs back when you press it with your finger, about 10 minutes. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. For the filling: Combine the ricotta, mascarpone and Parmesan in a small bowl. Put the mixture in a pastry bag and refrigerate until needed. For the ragu: Put the beef stock, red wine and porcinis in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer. Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef, hot and sweet Italian sausages and prosciutto and cook, breaking up the beef and sausage with a whisk, until well browned, about 10 minutes. Season with some salt and pepper. Stir the tomato paste into the meat, then stir in the rosemary, thyme, garlic, bay leaves and onions and cook, stirring, until the onions soften slightly, about 5 minutes. Strain the beef stock mixture into the meat. Add the tomatoes and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat so the mixture simmers and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 45 minutes. Add the cream and continue to simmer another 15 minutes or so. Stir in the parsley. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. To fill and finish the agnolotti: Cut the dough into 4 pieces. Set a pasta roller at the widest setting. Pass the first piece of dough through the roller, fold it in half and run it through again. Fold the dough in half again, dust it with flour, and run it through the roller again. Reduce the width setting on the roller and run the dough through. Continue to run the dough through, reducing the width with each pass, until the pasta is thin enough so that you can see the shadow of your hand through the other side. Lightly flour your work surface and lay the pasta sheet on top. Pipe 1 teaspoon of filling about 1 inch from the edge. Continue to pipe additional teaspoons of filling 1 inch apart, from one end to the other. Fold the dough over so that it extends about an inch past the filling (it won?t extend to the opposite edge), press to seal the long edge and then trim the excess dough from the sealed side. With your fingers perpendicular to the table, pinch between the mounds to seal the filling in. Then use the cutter to cut between each mound, through the pinch, creating little purses. Dust the finished agnolotti with flour. Refrigerate until ready to cook. Repeat the process with the 3 remaining pieces of dough and the filling.

1/4 teaspoon (1.5 grams) baking soda
6 tablespoons (80 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup (75 grams) packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) kosher salt
2 teaspoons (15 grams) vanilla bean paste
1/2 large egg (35 grams), at room temperature (see Cook's Note)
1/3 cup (60 grams) dark chocolate chunks
1/3 cup (60 grams) white chocolate chunks or chopped white chocolate
1/4 cup (20 grams) pecans, chopped, plus 7 whole pecans for the tops of the cookies
1/4 cup (20 grams) walnuts, chopped, plus 7 whole walnuts for the tops of the cookies
Nonstick cooking spray
7 chocolate-covered almonds, for the tops of the cookies
4 sheets (10 grams) silver leaf gelatin 1 cup (230 grams) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (115 grams) water
2 tablespoons (50 grams) light corn syrup
1 teaspoon (7.5 grams) vanilla bean paste
3 large egg whites (90 grams)
Pinch cream of tartar
Instructions: For the fudgy chocolate cookies: Sift the flour with the cocoa powder and baking soda in a large bowl and set aside. Cream the butter, brown and granulated sugars and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vanilla bean paste and egg and mix to combine. Reduce the speed to low. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Add the dark and white chocolate chunks and chopped pecans and walnuts and mix until just combined. Cover the dough with plastic wrap, pressing it directly on the surface, then cover the bowl with another piece of plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (or 320 degrees F if using a convection oven). Line a sheet pan with parchment. Grease seven 3 1/2-inch-diameter tart rings with nonstick cooking spray and place on the prepared sheet pan.
Portion the dough into 7 balls, each about 1/4 cup (75 grams), and place one in the center of each tart ring. Press down to flatten the dough slightly, then arrange 1 each of the chocolate-covered almonds and whole walnuts and pecans on the top. Bake until the internal temperature is 195 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 14 to 16 minutes. The cookies should have puffed slightly and the tops should be matte when done. Cool 5 minutes on the sheet pan, then transfer to a wire rack and unmold from the rings once the cookies are cool enough to handle.
For the marshmallow topping: Bloom the gelatin in a medium bowl of ice water for 5 minutes until softened, then drain well.
Heat the granulated sugar, water and corn syrup in a small saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer over medium-high heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and then stop stirring and continue to cook, washing down the sides of the pan with a pastry brush, until the temperature reaches 230 degrees F, 5 to 6 minutes.
Once the temperature of the sugar syrup reaches 230 degrees F, begin whipping the egg whites and cream of tartar in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium speed until medium peaks, about 1 minute (see Cook's Note).
Continue to cook the sugar syrup, washing down the sides of the pan, until it reaches a final temperature of 255 degrees F. When it is almost ready, microwave the gelatin for 10 seconds on high in a heatproof bowl to melt it.
With the mixer on low speed, slowly drizzle the 255-degrees F sugar syrup into the egg whites. Pour in the gelatin and whip on medium-high speed until thickened and cooled (the sides of the bowl should only be warm to the touch), about 8 minutes. Add the vanilla bean paste and whisk to combine. You want to be able to pipe the meringue marshmallow through a piping bag, so it should hold a stiff peak when the whisk attachment is turned upside down.
Add the marshmallow to a large pastry bag fitted with a 1-inch or larger round pastry tip. Pipe a large mound of marshmallow on the top of each cookie, then brulee lightly with a kitchen blow torch.

2 tablespoons sliced scallions
2 tablespoons sesame oil 1/2 cup grapeseed oil, plus more for the pan
Kosher salt
2 bunches thinly sliced scallions (reserving 2 to 3 tablespoons for the dipping sauce) Instructions: For the kimchee beef mix: Add 2 tablespoons oil to a 12-inch cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Once heated, add the ground beef, sprinkle with salt and pepper and begin to brown and break up the meat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until the beef is evenly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and spread on a sheet tray to slightly cool. In the same hot pan, coat with another 1 tablespoon oil and sear the kimchee until it's crispy. Add the gochujang and stir until evenly combined. Remove from the heat and add to another sheet tray to cool. Meanwhile, as everything is cooling, make the dough mix. For the scallion pancake dough mix: To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment, add the flour and 2/3 of the boiling water. Turn the mixer on to stir and keep adding water until well mixed, a ball is formed and the dough is not too hot to handle. This will take 3 to 5 minutes. You may need to sprinkle a little flour if it gets too wet. On a floured surface, transfer and knead the dough until it becomes a smooth elastic ball, 5 to 8 minutes. Place back in the bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rest for 15 to 30 minutes at room temperature. For the dipping sauce: Add the kimchee juice, kimchee, soy sauce, jalapeno and scallions to a bowl and stir to combine. Add to a serving dish and set aside. For the pancake assembly: On a floured surface, roll out dough into a log. Cut the log into four pieces. Roll one piece into an 1/8-inch-thick circle/oval shape. Combine the sesame oil and grapeseed oil in a small bowl. Brush the oil over the pancake and sprinkle liberally with salt. Sprinkle a quarter each of the beef mixture, kimchi and scallions all over the dough. Make sure to press it down so it sticks into the dough. Starting with the long side nearest you, roll the dough, jelly-roll fashion, to make a tight log. Twist each end of the log in opposite direction 4 or 5 times (this will make additional pancake layers), then wrap the log around itself to make a coil, tucking the outside end beneath the coil. With a rolling pin, flatten the coil to 1/3-inch thick, dusting with flour as needed so it doesn't stick to your work surface. Roll out to a pancake. Repeat to make 4 pancakes. Heat a wok or 12-inch cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add grapeseed oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the pancakes, one at a time, and cook until brown and crispy on both sides, turning once, moving and spinning the pancake for even cooking, 3 to 5 minutes per side, until golden brown and delicious.

" 19719,"Gnocchi alla Vodka 4 medium (about 1 kilogram/2 1/4 pounds) russet potatoes 2 egg yolks 1 cup (135 grams) all-purpose flour, plus 1/2 cup for dusting 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Pinch freshly grated nutmeg 3 tablespoons (42 grams) unsalted butter 1 large shallot, finely minced Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 3 garlic cloves, finely minced 2/3 cup or one 156-milliliter can tomato paste 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) vodka 1/2 cup (125 milliliters) 35% cream 1/2 cup (50 grams) finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus extra for serving 2 tablespoons finely chopped basil, plus extra for serving Instructions: For the gnocchi: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and place the potatoes onto a rimmed baking sheet. Pierce the potatoes a few times with a fork then bake in the oven for 45 minutes, or until fork tender, flipping halfway through. Cut the potatoes in half and allow them to cool until cool enough to handle. Remove the potato flesh from the skins and, using a potato ricer or masher, rice or thoroughly mash the potatoes until smooth. Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and allow them to cool to room temperature. Lightly beat the egg yolks, drizzle them over the potatoes and lightly mix together. Add the flour and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix just until a soft, not too sticky dough comes together, adding more flour if needed. Do not overwork the dough as that will lead to dense gnocchi. Lightly dust a rimmed baking sheet with flour and divide the dough into four pieces. On a lightly floured work surface, roll each piece into roughly a 2-centimeter (1-inch) thick log. Cut each log into roughly 2-centimeter (1-inch) lengths and transfer them onto the prepared baking sheet and set aside until ready to cook. For the sauce: Melt the butter in a large high-sided pan over medium heat. Add the shallot, season with salt and pepper and cook until lightly golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds before adding the tomato paste. Cook for 2 minutes, then add the vodka. Allow the vodka to cook down for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off, then turn the heat down to low and stir in the cream. Keep the sauce warm over low heat while you cook the gnocchi. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the gnocchi in two batches for 3 to 4 minutes each, or about 1 minute after they have floated to the surface. When the gnocchi are cooked, transfer them directly into the sauce using a slotted spoon. When all of the gnocchi are cooked, gently stir about 1/4 cup of the gnocchi cooking liquid into the sauce and finish with the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and chopped basil. Season with salt and pepper. If the sauce is a little thick, stir in another few tablespoons of cooking liquid. Serve immediately scattered with more Parmigiano-Reggiano, fresh basil and freshly ground black pepper.

Bake potatoes until very soft on a bed of coarse salt in a baking dish, about 45 minutes. (The salt keeps the potatoes from touching the dish and developing a hard spot.) Cool potatoes until warm, then halve lengthwise and scoop out the flesh. Pass the flesh through a food mill or ricer, or push it through a coarse sieve. You should have about 4 cups. In a bowl, combine potato, egg yolks, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Work the mixture with a wooden spoon until smooth.

1 large onion, finely chopped
6 cloves garlic
1 bottle Amarone wine, plus some for tasting while cooking
6 fresh rosemary sprigs
6 fresh thyme sprigs
3 cups beef stock
6 cups chicken stock 2 cups fine-ground cornmeal polenta
2 teaspoons kosher salt 2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 cup grated Taleggio cheese
2 teaspoons olive oil 4 shallots, minced
4 cups balsamic vinegar
1 cup Tuscan herb mix (dried thyme, rosemary and sage)
2 cups black mission figs, cut in quarters
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup Amarone wine
2 teaspoons olive oil 6 to 8 cups kale leaves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions: For the short ribs: Heat one tablespoon of the olive oil in a heavy-bottom pot or Dutch oven over high heat. When the oil begins to smoke slightly, place the short ribs in the pot and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast on all sides until well browned, about 15 minutes total. Remove from the pot and reduce the temperature to medium. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the same pot and add the celery, carrots and onion and cook over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the wine and raise the heat level to high, bring to a boil and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Tie the rosemary and thyme together with kitchen twine and add the bundle to the pot. Place the roasted ribs on top of the vegetables in the pot and add the beef stock. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Cover the pot and simmer until the meat is very tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Carefully remove the short ribs from the pot and set aside. Discard the herbs and skim the excess fat. Continue to cook the vegetables and sauce over medium heat for 20 minutes until reduced to the desired consistency. Put the ribs back in the pot and heat through. For the polenta: Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and very slowly whisk in the cornmeal polenta, whisking constantly to make sure there are no lumps. Switch to a wooden spoon and add the salt and pepper and simmer, stirring almost constantly, until the polenta thickens, about 30 minutes. When the polenta is thick and difficult to stir, quickly turn off the heat, add the grated cheeses and fold together. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan thoroughly while combining. For the mission fig glaze: Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepot over low heat and saute the shallots until just translucent, a few minutes. Add the vinegar and herbs and increase the heat to medium-high. Reduce by half, stirring constantly. Add the figs, sugar and wine and further reduce by a third, continuing to stir throughout. Remove from the heat when you have about 3/4 cup liquid remaining. Pour the glaze through a fine-mesh strainer into a small bowl, discarding the solids. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy pot or skillet over medium-high heat. Thoroughly wash the kale and remove the stems.

Frost a cupcake, using about 2 tablespoons of the remaining frosting per cupcake, and then gently dipping the top into the jimmies, turning the cupcake until the top is coated. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes. Arrange the cupcakes in 4 rows on a large serving plate or cutting board. Fit a marshmallow between each cupcake, 5 marshmallows per row, to fill in the gaps between the cupcakes in the rows. Using the frosting in the piping bag, pipe thick cross shapes between where the cupcakes meet one another and over the marshmallows so there are no visible gaps between the cupcakes. Coat with sprinkles. To make goal posts for the cupcake \field,\ microwave the chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl until just melted, 30 to 45 seconds. Keep 2 cookie sticks whole for the bases of the posts. Cut off and discard (or eat!) the bottom third of the remaining cookie sticks. Dip the top of one of the longest cookie sticks into the melted chocolate and adhere it to the middle of one of the cut cookie sticks so that they form a capital T shape. Next, dip the cut ends of two short sticks into chocolate and adhere them to either side of the cross on the T.

1 cup precooked corn flour, such as Harina P.A.N. or Maseca 2 cups shredded mozzarella or any cheese that melts Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions: Mixing by hand, combine 2 cups warm water, the shortening and salt in a medium bowl. Slowly add the flour, mixing quickly to avoid lumps. Knead until the ingredients are evenly combined. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes, then shape into small balls (about 3 ounces each). Using a hand tortilla press, place a piece of waxed paper on the bottom, center a dough ball on top and cover with another piece of waxed paper. Gently press down to flatten the ball into a thin circle (not too thin or it will crack). Alternatively, you can use a wooden board or large plate to press the dough.
Remove the top paper and add 1 tablespoon of the cheese to the middle of the pressed dough. Carefully fold one edge of the circle over the cheese to the other edge, and press the edges together to close the empanada. Using a small bowl, place it over the empanada close to the edge and press down slightly to cut the edge and evenly seal it. Repeat with the remaining dough and cheese.

In a large stockpot, add the oil, ginger, shallots, and cl for 2 minutes until fragrant. Then add the crabs and miso. Cover with 1 gallon of cold water and place over medium heat; simmer for 30 minutes. In the meantime, you can focus on assembling the wontons. Heat a skillet over medium flame and coat with the peanut oil; add the ginger, shallot, and carrot, saute for 2 minutes to soften. Put the lump crabmeat in a mixing bowl and scrape in the ginger mixture. Fold in the green onion, cilantro, mayonnaise, and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Be careful not to mash the crabmeat, you want that texture when you bite into the wonton. Lay a wonton wrapper on a flat surface and brush with the beaten egg white. Drop 1 tablespoon of the crab filling onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the wonton in half, corner to corner, to form a triangle. Press around the filling to knock out any air bubbles, then press the seam together to seal so the filling doesn\u2019t seep out. Brush the 2 side points with beaten egg white. Lay your index finger in the center so you have something to press up against, then fold the 2 sides into the center, slightly overlapping, and press the dough against your finger with your thumb to form a tight seal. Lightly dust the filled wontons with cornstarch to keep them from sticking together and place them on a cookie sheet. When these are folded they look like Pope hats. When the wontons are all filled and folded, strain the soup broth to remove the solids and pour it into the hot pot. Bring the soup to a simmer.

With a rolling pin, roll the pate sablee using quick, short strokes from the middle of the dough, until you've formed a circle roughly 10-inches in diameter and about 1/4-inch thick. Every few strokes, lift and turn the dough a quarter-turn, dusting underneath with a small amount more of flour, if necessary, to prevent sticking. Place your rolling pin over the bottom quarter of the dough and lift the bottom edge of the dough up and over the pin. Roll the pin away from you slightly to help gather the dough circle onto the pin, then unroll the dough onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to chill for 10 minutes and up to 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
