1 cup Arborio rice 3/4 cups dry white wine 5 ounces frozen peas, defrosted 1/3 cup lemon juice 1 tablespoon lemon zest 1 1/4 cups freshly grated Parmesan Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging 2 eggs, beaten 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs Vegetable oil, for frying Instructions: For the risotto: In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken broth to a simmer. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shallots to the butter, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the Arborio rice and lightly toast, stirring to coat in the butter and shallots. Add the white wine, continuing to cook while stirring until the wine is absorbed. You should be able to run your spoon through the risotto and have the indentation stay. Using a ladle, add enough of the warm chicken broth to cover the rice, stirring constantly over medium heat until the broth is completely absorbed. Repeat the process 3 more times, adding the broth in stages while continuing to stir. Once all of the chicken broth has been added and the rice is tender, add the peas, lemon juice and lemon zest and stir to combine. Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan, mozzarella and season with salt and pepper. Cool the risotto by spreading it evenly over a sheet tray. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes. Once the risotto is cooled, form the mixture into burger-size patties, about 1-inch thick. Set up a dredging station with the flour in one dish, beaten eggs in another and panko breadcrumbs in another. Dip the rice patties into the flour, then into the eggs and finally coat them in the panko breadcrumbs. In a large skillet, heat 1/2-inch vegetable oil over medium heat until a pinch of panko sizzles when dropped in the oil. Working in batches of 2 to 3, fry the risotto cakes until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side (use a fish spatula under the cake and the back of a fork on top to help stabilize while flipping). Transfer to a wire rack, which will help them stay crispy. Season with salt and they are ready to serve. Cook's Note: This is a great way to use up leftover risotto.

Salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons canola oil 3 ounces melted unsalted butter 48 slices bread and butter pickles Instructions: For the buns: Stir the water, yeast and sugar together to activate the yeast. (You can tell when the yeast is activated-little bubbles will have formed, which will take a minute or two.) Add the melted butter and 3 of the eggs and mix until incorporated.
Add 4 cups flour and the salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. Mix together on low speed, then stop and add the wet ingredients. Continue to mix until the dough is very smooth, about 5 minutes. You may want to add a little bit more flour as you mix; the dough should be sticky but workable. Transfer the dough to a bowl. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel, place in warm area and let rise until the dough has doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
After the dough has proofed (risen), turn it out onto a lightly-floured countertop and knead in the Cheddar and black pepper. Try not to overwork the dough; once the cheese is mixed in you can stop. Cut the dough into six equal portions and shape them into round balls. Place on a buttered baking sheet and flatten them with your hand.
Cover and let rise again in a warm area until they have doubled in size, about 30 minutes more. When they are almost doubled in size, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl and brush the tops of the rolls with the egg. Bake until golden brown, rotating halfway through, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. For the ketchup: Turn the oven down to 250 degrees F. Cut the garlic in half crosswise and sprinkle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Wrap in foil and roast until soft, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the garlic from the skins and mix into a paste. Reserve 1 tablespoon for the ketchup, and use remaining garlic for another use.

2 eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1 quart kosher salt 1 quart sugar
1 quart light brown sugar
1 cup sumac
6 duck legs
6 tablespoons juniper berries, crushed
1/2 cup garlic cloves, crushed
1 bunch or 4 ounces fresh thyme
2 quarts schmaltz
2 carrots, cut into quarters 2 large stalks celery, cut into quarters
1 large yellow onion, cut into quarters
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon whole mixed peppercorns
5 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed Kosher salt 1 cup thinly sliced green onions (green part only)
3 tablespoons cornstarch
Pierogi Sauce, recipe follows 8 to 9 Roma tomatoes, quartered 4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped garlic 1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon dried basil
1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon coarse ground pepper
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup reserved duck fat 3 cups quartered button mushrooms
3 cups quartered shiitake mushrooms
2 cups carrots, cubed and blanched until tender in reserved stock
1 cup celery, cut into 1/2-inch segments and blanched until tender in reserved stock
1 cup yellow onion, diced and blanched until soft in reserved stock
1 quart duck stock
Instructions: For the pierogi dough: Add sour cream, salt, eggs and 1 cup water to a 4-quart or larger mixer with a dough hook attachment. Mix on medium to low speed until thoroughly combined. Turn speed to low and slowly add the flour in 1-cup increments. Push down dough on sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Allow each cup to thoroughly mix in before adding the next cup. Add last cup slowly. Dough should begin to pull away cleanly from the sides and bottom of the bowl. If it doesn't, slowly add more flour until it does. If your dough is too dry, add a little water to moisten. Once dough pulls away cleanly from the sides and bottom of the bowl, allow the dough hook to knead the dough until lightly tacky and soft, about 4 minutes. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to overnight. For the duck confit: Mix salt, both sugars and sumac in a large mixing bowl by hand until thoroughly combined. Pat dry duck legs and rub with crushed juniper berries and crushed garlic. Set legs aside. Cover the bottom of a deep-walled baking dish large enough to hold the legs in a single layer with 1 quart of the salt-sugar mixture, ensuring that the bottom of the dish is covered (add more mixture if necessary). Put half of the fresh thyme sprigs down on top of the mixture. Snugly fit the rubbed duck legs in the mixture in a single layer. Cover with any remaining garlic or juniper berries that may have fallen off during placement. Cover the duck legs with the remaining fresh thyme. Pack with remaining salt-sugar mixture until meat of the dug legs is completely covered. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours. Remove duck legs from refrigerator and gently rinse each leg over a sink running cold water. Pat dry with paper towels and set aside. Place duck legs in a pot on stovetop and cover with schmaltz. Simmer on low heat until the meat pulls easily from the bone, about 2 hours. Pull duck legs from pot and allow to cool. Reserve oil. Pull the meat from the bone and rough chop the duck leg meat. Reserve the bones. For the duck stock: Place reserved bones in a 4- to 6-quart stockpot with the carrots, celery and onion. Add enough water to cover the bones and vegetables (about 4 quarts), then add the bay leaves and peppercorns. Bring just to boil and immediately adjust heat to low. Allow to simmer on low for 3 to 4 hours. Strain off bones and vegetables, reserving the dug leg stock. For the pierogies: Cover potatoes with 1 quart duck stock or enough stock to cover. Bring potatoes to a boil, then immediately lower heat to medium. Simmer the potatoes until they are fork tender, about 20 minutes. Strain and spread on a sheet tray. Sprinkle potatoes with 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt and allow to cool. Place potatoes and chopped duck leg meat in a mixing bowl. Add 1/4 cup reserved oil from the duck leg confit and fold in green onions. Taste filling and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove dough from refrigerator and allow to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Unwrap and quarter the dough with a bench scraper. Cover the remaining 3 quarters of dough with a towel while you work on the first quarter. Roll the dough on a floured surface into an even sheet about 1/8-inch thick. Cut out dough discs using a 3- to 4-inch biscuit cutter. Combine cornstarch and 1 cup water in a bowl. Moisten each disc with a thin layer of the cornstarch slurry. Place a heaping tablespoon of filling into the center of each disc. Gently pick up each disc by the sides, then pinch the dough around the filling. Pinch dough closed, sealing the filling inside. Place filled pierogies on a generously-floured sheet tray. Bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Working in batches, gently place the pierogies in the boiling water. Return water to a boil and allow pierogies to boil until floating and warmed through, 10 to 15 minutes. Pull pierogies from the water and allow to dry slightly. (At this point you may refrigerate or freeze any pierogies you aren't planning on using.) Prepare a saute pan over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of the reserved oil from the duck leg confit. Carefully fry the pierogies until the sides are light brown and crusty. Serve with Pierogi Sauce. For the roast tomato ketchup: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss tomatoes with oil, garlic, salt, basil, oregano and pepper and place on a sheet tray. Roast until tomatoes are half their size and browned, about 1 hour. Puree tomatoes and any remaining liquid in a food processor with tomato paste until smooth. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For the sauce: Prepare a large saucepan at medium-high heat. Add duck fat to saucepan. Saute mushrooms in saucepan until browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons roast tomato ketchup (save the remainder for another use) and lightly brown the ketchup, 3 minutes. Add blanched carrots, celery, onion and duck stock. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat until reduced by half. Season to taste.

Let the yeast activate for 2 to 5 minutes. Add salt and 2 cups of flour and stir until blended. Add another 1 1/2 cups of flour and blend until too stiff to stir with a spoon. Cut dough in half to get 2 (18-ounce) (1 ounce per inch) pieces. If you like a thick crust, increase the amount of dough per inch or reduce the size of the pizza to a 14 or 16-inch pie. With the dough in both hands knead (turn it inside itself so knuckles touch) to get some air pockets out and to get a round shape. Knead about 7 times. (Don't knead too hard or the dough will rip at the top). At the bottom of the dough ball seal it by twisting the dough so that it is round on top and flat and sealed on the bottom. Place the dough in a clean bowl (if dry, sprinkle with a little water), and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let the dough sit for between 30 to 60 minutes until it almost doubled in size. Put the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour after it rises to gain elasticity. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.

2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
Instructions: Check to see if the brisket fits into a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot with a lid. If not, slice the brisket into 2 pieces against the grain to allow it to fit. Put a cooling rack over a baking sheet. Put the brisket on the rack with the side lined with a thin layer of fat touching the rack. Sprinkle the salt and black pepper all over the brisket, making sure to season both sides. Let the brisket come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. (Tip: This step can be done up to 1 day in advance. Refrigerate the seasoned brisket, uncovered. By letting the brisket rest in the refrigerator, the sear will be more even and golden brown.) Put a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Add the oil and heat until shiny, about 30 seconds. Add the brisket fat-side up and sear until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the brisket over and sear the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the brisket from the pot and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium high and add the onions. Cook until just translucent, about 3 minutes. Pour the cola into the pot and scrape up any brown bits. Place the brisket back in the pot fat-side up, along with any juices that have collected around it. Bury the brisket under the onions. Add the beef stock, star anise, rosemary sprigs and bay leaf; the stock should not submerge the brisket, but come up about two-thirds of the way. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to medium low. Cover the pot and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the lid and flip the brisket over, making sure to nestle it back into the softened onions. Cover the pot and continue cooking until the beef is tender but not falling apart, an additional 1 1/2 hours. Remove the beef from the pot and set on a cutting board. Remove the rosemary stems, bay leaf and star anise and discard. Place the pot over high heat and cook the sauce until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes. Thinly slice the brisket against the grain and spread onto a serving platter. Top the sliced brisket with the onions and spoon the sauce over the platter. Sprinkle with the parsley and thyme. Serve immediately.

Add the vanilla, salt and egg and mix well. Add the flour a little at a time, mixing well and scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition. Mix until well combined. Let chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Split the dough into 3 pieces. Into one, knead the ground cinnamon in with your hand until well incorporated. Into the next dough piece, knead in the nutmeg. And into the last, the cloves.
Pick teeny tiny portions of the cinnamon dough (about the size of a jelly bean), roll them between your fingers and place on the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the nutmeg and clove dough (making sure to keep track of the separate flavors) until you have the desired amount of little cookies (20 to 30 of each). Bake until crisp, about 10 minutes. Let cool. Next, make the butterscotch cookie coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the butterscotch morsels and 1 tablespoon heavy cream in 30-second increments, stirring every 30 seconds, until the butterscotch is melted. A touch more cream can be added if necessary. Add the corn syrup and very gently fold the mixture until it's a thin, liquid consistency, only heating the mixture for an additional period of 15 seconds or less.
Using a fork or slotted spoon (or, if you can use them, chopsticks work well), dip your cookies in the butterscotch mixture to lightly coat them (make sure you keep track of which flavor is which throughout--don't mix them up). The butterscotch creates delicious little pockets of butterscotch sauce while protecting the cookies from getting too soggy in the hot liquid panna cotta. Try to place them somewhere where the excess can drip off of the cookies a bit. Place the coated cookies in the freezer to harden, making sure not to mix up the different flavors!
Get out whichever 4 glasses you would like to present your dessert in (this recipe made enough for four 8-ounce stemmed sundae cups that we used). Wine glasses, martini glasses, tumblers, Irish coffee mugs--any of these work, but, depending on size, the layer size will vary! The Irish cream panna cotta will be the bottom layer, so the first to make. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and vanilla. Gently bring to just a boil, then immediately remove from the heat. Sprinkle the gelatin over the cream and whisk well until the gelatin is completely dissolved and no lumps remain, at least 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then add the Irish cream liqueur and stir well.
Divide the liquid among your 4 glasses and carefully place them in the refrigerator for 5 to 6 minutes to slightly set up. Get your cookies out of the freezer. Take out your panna cotta and add 5 to 6 of the coated nutmeg spice cookies to the layer (up to you!) and then return the glasses to the refrigerator to set up completely (will take up to 45 minutes). The next layer will be the brown sugar maple panna cotta layer. In a small saucepan over medium heat, gently bring the heavy cream, brown sugar, maple extract and vanilla to just a boil. Immediately remove from the heat and whisk in the gelatin until completely dissolved and no lumps remain, at least 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Making sure that the Irish cream layer is set up, divide the brown sugar maple liquid among your 4 glasses. Return to the refrigerator for 5 minutes to set up, then add your coated cinnamon spice cookies. Chill for 45 minutes to set up completely. The final (top) layer will be the honey panna cotta. Heat the heavy cream and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat until it comes to just a boil. Remove from the heat and whisk in the gelatin until dissolved completely and no lumps remain, at least 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Whisk in the milk.
Making sure the other layers are completely set, divide the honey liquid among your 4 glasses. Let set up for 5 minutes, then add your coated clove spice cookies. Let the final layer set up for at least an hour.

Line a baking sheet with a wire rack. In a large zip-top bag, add the drained Quick Pickles and flour and shake until well coated. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a shallow baking dish, add the panko, dill, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt. In batches, dip the floured pickle chips into the eggs and then into the panko, making sure they are fully coated with the seasoned breadcrumbs. Place the coated pickles on the prepared baking sheet until all the pickles are coated. Working in batches, fry the pickles until they are golden brown, 1 or 2 minutes, turning once. Drain the pickles on a paper towel-lined plate (or another baking sheet lined with a wire rack). Sprinkle them with kosher salt as soon as they come out of the oil and serve immediately alongside some Buttermilk Ranch Dippin' Sauce. Cook's Notes: Using a slotted spoon or a fish spatula will help you toss the pickles in the egg mixture. When frying, always drop the food into the oil away from your body and close to the surface of the hot oil. In a saucepot, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, celery seeds, peppercorns, garlic, cl and 2 cups water and bring the mixture to a boil to dissolve the sugar and salt. Using a mandolin (or sharp knife), slice the cucumbers 1/4-inch thick and place in a large heat-safe bowl or container. Once the mixture boils, pour the liquid over the sliced cucumbers, making sure the cucumbers are submerged. Let the cucumbers sit in the liquid as it comes to room temperature, for about 20 minutes. Drain the pickles, reserving the liquid. Serve as is or fry em' up! To serve, add a little of the pickling juice right on top of the pickles.

1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 dried bay leaf
3 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces sweet Italian sausage or sweet Italian turkey sausage
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 shallot, sliced

7 tablespoons fine breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
8 ounces ground sirloin or ground dark turkey meat Olive oil, for frying
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
One 8-ounce ball fresh mozzarella, diced
Instructions: In a large saucepan combine the rice, chicken broth, 1 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and the bay leaf. Stir and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid, reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring once, until the rice is still slightly undercooked but the liquid is absorbed, 8 minutes. Pour the rice into a large bowl and cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Stir in 2 1/2 cups of the cheese and 3 of the eggs until well combined, and set aside. Meanwhile, heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a medium nonreactive saucepan over medium-high heat. Remove the sausage from the casing and break into small, bite-size pieces. Add the sausage to the hot oil and cook until browned, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon as it cooks. Using a slotted spoon, remove the sausage to a medium bowl and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic, shallots and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring constantly until fragrant and the shallots are soft, 1 minute. Add the basil, cheese rind and tomatoes, and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the basil and cheese rind. Add 2 cups of the sauce to the reserved sausage and set aside. Meanwhile, in a separate medium bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of the breadcrumbs, the milk and the remaining egg with a fork and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to thicken. Stir in the oregano, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Using your hands, mix in the beef, until just combined. Heat 1/2-inch of olive oil in a medium straight-sided pan. Scoop 1-tablespoon mounds of the mixture into damp hands and roll into uniform balls. When the oil is hot, fry the balls in 2 batches, turning them as needed with a slotted spoon to brown the balls evenly, about 4 minutes. When golden brown and crispy all around, remove the balls using a slotted spoon to the bowl with the sausage and sauce. Continue with the remaining balls, and then toss to coat evenly in the sauce. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using 1 tablespoon of the butter, grease the inside of a Bundt pan or a 3 1/2-quart Dutch oven, making sure to coat it very well. Dust the inside of the pan with 3 tablespoons of the breadcrumbs. Make sure it is evenly coated and there are no bald spots. This is very important to prevent sticking. Add the peas and diced mozzarella to the meat and sauce, and toss gently to incorporate. Spoon two-thirds of the rice mixture into the prepared bundt pan. Using damp hands, press the rice evenly over the bottom of the pan and 2 1/2-inches up the sides and middle of the pan. Spoon the meat filling into the well of rice and press gently to make sure it is evenly packed. Spoon the remaining rice over the filling and, using damp hands, press the rice evenly over the filling, being sure to press the rice on top into the rice along the edges to seal. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs and dot with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter. Bake until lightly browned on top, 45 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes. Place a plate large enough to cover the top of the pan over the pan. Using heat-resistant pads or a towel, invert the sartu onto the plate. Carefully lift the pan off of the rice, shaking gently if needed. Warm the remaining sauce and fill the opening in the middle of the molded rice with the sauce to serve.

4 peppermint candies Instructions: For the cake: Preheat a round waffle iron to medium. Whisk together the flour, cocoa, ginger, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and cloves in a large bowl. Whisk together the molasses, baking soda and 1 cup water in a separate large bowl. Add the sugar, oil and eggs to the molasses mixture and whisk until mostly smooth.\u202f Add the molasses mixture to the flour mixture and whisk until combined. Spray the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Pour 1/2 cup of the batter into the center of the waffle iron, close the lid and cook until the waffle is lightly browned and springs back when you touch it, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the cake layer from the waffle maker using a fork and set aside on a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining batter; you should have about 10 waffled cake layers total. Let cool completely then trim any scraggly edges with a knife. For the peppermint frosting: Whisk together the mascarpone, confectioners' sugar and peppermint extract in a large bowl. Crush the 4 peppermint candies with a heavy pan and combine with the frosting.
Whip the cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture. Don't worry if the whipped cream doesn't fully incorporate.
Put a small amount of frosting in the center of a large plate or cake stand. Place a waffle layer over the frosting on the plate, pressing down slightly to anchor it.

Add a good pinch of kosher salt, the cl flakes, fennel seeds, cayenne, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan. Mix to blend and then form the meat into small 2-inch patties. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, shut off the heat to avoid splattering, and add the meat patties in a single layer in the pan. Take care they are spread somewhat apart so they have a chance to brown instead of steam. Put the heat back on high and brown them, turning them so they brown all around, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Touch them to make sure they are still tender and somewhat yielding in the center. Use a slotted spoon or spatula to remove them from the pan. Transfer the patties to a platter or individual plates. Use a kitchen towel to wipe clean the skillet, put the heat on medium, and add the butter. When it begins to brown, crack 2 eggs, a distance apart, into the butter. Lower the heat, season the eggs lightly with salt, and cook 2 to 3 minutes or longer, if desired. Repeat with additional eggs. Put the eggs on the patties and serve immediately.

6 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 cup cake flour
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons canola oil, plus more for the bowl 1 1/4 pounds carrots (5 to 7 large), chopped into 1/2-inch pieces 1 tablespoon canola or olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons teriyaki sauce, plus more for serving
1/4 cup salted roasted peanuts, plus more for topping
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
6 scallions, minced, plus more for topping
Sriracha, for drizzling Instructions: For the steamed bun dough: In a small bowl, swirl together the water, yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sugar and let it sit until it becomes foamy on top, about 5 minutes. In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, salt and remaining 6 tablespoons sugar. Pour in the yeast mixture and oil and mix to form a dough. Turn out onto a work surface and knead, dusting with flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky, about 5 minutes. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, turning to coat, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let it rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
For the filling: While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the carrots in a baking dish and toss with the oil and salt. (I like baking them in a high-sided dish like a casserole, so that I have room to add the other filling ingredients and then there's no need to transfer to a bowl.) Bake until tender, 30 to 35 minutes; let cool for 5 minutes. Add the teriyaki sauce, peanuts, rice vinegar, scallions and a drizzle of sriracha to the carrots and stir together. Set aside to continue to cool. It's ok if it's still a little warm when it's time to fill the buns. The filling can be made a day in advance and kept covered in the fridge. Once the dough has completed its rising time, turn it out onto a clean work surface and divide it into 16 balls. Keep the dough balls covered when you're not working with them. Working with 1 ball at a time, roll out to a 4 1/2- to 5-inch circle, fill with about 2 heaping tablespoons of filling and pinch the edges shut to seal well. Place on an individual 3-inch square of parchment paper. Space the buns out in a steamer basket 1 1/2 to 2 inches apart. (If your steamer doesn't fit all of the buns at once, do in batches.) Cover and let rise 30 more minutes. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat (the water should come up high in the pot so it is close to the steamer). Place the steamer over it and steam the buns until light and fluffy, about 45 minutes. To serve, top with another little drizzle of sriracha and some sprinkles of peanuts and scallions. Dip in teriyaki sauce and enjoy! Leftovers can be cooled and kept in the fridge for a couple of days or in the freezer for a few months. To reheat, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave until heated through.

Using your hands, loosen to the skin from the breast by gently inserting your fingers between the skin and the flesh. Rub the compound butter underneath the skin. Insert the apples, onions, and whole rosemary and sage into the cavity of the turkey. Place the turkey over the vegetables, breast-side up, in the roasting pan. Tuck the wings back and under the turkey. Using kitchen twine, tie the legs together. This will make a compact shape and will create a great presentation. Drizzle the turkey with olive oil and rub it into the skin. Roast the turkey to at least 165 degrees F in the breast, about 2 1/2 hours. If the skin gets too dark during roasting, tent with foil. Transfer turkey to a platter and allow to cool. Meanwhile, prepare the pan gravy. Tilt the pan and skim as much fat as possible off the juice with a spoon. Set the pan on 2 burners set on medium heat. Deglaze roasting pan with white wine and Madeira. Scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any brown bits. Reduce until only a quarter remains. Add the Turkey Stock, thyme and parsley. Bring to a boil and strain into a saucepan. Bring back to a boil, skim and lower to a simmer. Whisk in the beurre manie until well incorporated and continue to cook until gravy has thickened. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Heat a saucepan over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the olive oil and heat. Add the neck and giblets and cook until browned all over, about 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and deglaze with the port.

Cut the chops in 1/2 and trim off some of the excess fat. Set aside. Render down the fat on a gentle heat in a heavy pan (discard the rendered-down pieces).
Peel the onions and scrape or thinly peel the carrots (if they are young you could leave some of the green stalk on the onion and carrot). Cut the carrots into large chunks, or if they are young leave them whole. If the onions are large, cut them small, if they are small they are best left whole.
Toss the meat in the hot fat in a saucepan until it is slightly brown. Transfer the meat into a casserole, then quickly toss the onions and carrots in the fat. Build the meat, carrots and onions up in layers in the casserole, carefully season each layer with freshly ground pepper and salt. Deglaze the pan with lamb stock and pour it into the casserole. Peel the potatoes and lay them on top of the casserole, so they will steam while the stew cooks. Season the potatoes. Add a sprig of thyme, bring to a boil on top of the stove, cover and transfer to a moderate oven or allow to simmer on top of the stove until the stew is cooked, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
When the stew is cooked, pour off the cooking liquid, degrease and reheat in another saucepan. Slightly thicken it with a little roux if you like.

Using rubber spatula, divide the batter between the 2 pans and spread evenly. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until the roulade springs back when touched in the center. When completely cooled, invert the roulade sheets onto a clean surface, and discard the parchment paper. Whip together the salmon, cream cheese, and dill, until light and fluffy. Spread the salmon mixture evenly on the surface of the roulade. Place 1 of the 15-inch roulade sides in front of you. Carefully roll it toward the other 15-inch side, until the width of the roulade forms a spiral of egg and filling. Cut each roulade into 10 slices. Refrigerate if not serving immediately. Spread the roulade slices out on a greased baking tray in a single layer so that the sprial is on the top and bottom of each slice. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Bring the milk, heavy cream, sugar, and salt to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Turn off the heat and whisk a little of the hot liquid into the egg mixture. Continue adding more hot milk until the eggs are tempered and the bottom of the bowl is warm to the touch and then return the egg mixture to the saucepan with the remaining milk. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk, until the pudding thickens and you can draw a clear line through the custard on the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes (don't let the custard boil--this will cause the eggs to curdle). Pour the custard through a medium sieve and into a medium bowl. Whisk to cool slightly, cover flush with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until it is completely cool, about 2 hours. To make the caramel sauce:
Microwave together the butter, heavy cream, and salt until the butter is melted (or melt the butter with the cream and salt in a small saucepan). Whisk to combine and set aside. Place the sugar and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Melt the sugar over medium-high heat, swirling the pan occasionally to evenly distribute the heat, until the sugar is a deep nutty brown and smells bittersweet, 10 to 12 minutes. Pour in the butter mixture (be careful-the sauce will hiss and bubble up) and then place the mixture back over medium-high heat to return it to a boil. Turn off the heat and set the saucepan aside to let the caramel cool to room temperature, 1 to 2 hours. To make the whipped cream:
Place the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla (if using a vanilla bean, split the pod and scrape out the seeds, adding them to the cream; save the pod and place it in a jar of sugar to infuse it with vanilla flavor) in the bowl of a stand mixer (or large bowl if using a hand mixer) and whip it on medium speed until it is frothy. Increase the speed to medium-high and whip until you get stiff peaks. Refrigerate until you're ready to assemble the pudding. To assemble:
Peel and thinly slice the bananas and set aside (wait to slice the bananas until you're ready to assemble the dish, otherwise, they'll brown). Evenly spread 1 cup whipped cream over the bottom of a large trifle dish or punch bowl. Top with a layer of bananas and 1 cup/240 ml pudding. Place about 20 wafers in a flat layer on top of the pudding and evenly drizzle 1/2 cup/120 ml caramel over the wafers. Repeat the layering process three times beginning with the whipped cream, followed by some sliced bananas, pudding, wafers, and caramel. Finish the pudding with a final layer of whipped cream (you should have about 1 cup remaining after repeating four layers), cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. Serve in dessert bowls. ","[Chardonnay, Riesling, Moscato, Pinot Grigio]

Rub the skin with 2 tablespoons of the butter. Combine the Brussels sprouts, bacon, olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Toss to coat and spread out over half of the second sheet pan. Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and arrange them on the other half of the sheet pan next to the Brussels sprouts. Combine the cranberries, sugar and orange zest in a small ovenproof ceramic baking dish, then cover with foil and put on the sheet pan next to the sweet potatoes. Put the sheet pan with the turkey and stuffing on the rack in the upper third of the oven, and put the second sheet pan on the rack in the lower third. Cook 30 minutes, then remove both pans from the oven. Stir the Brussels sprouts and cranberry sauce once or twice, mashing the cranberries with the side of the spoon. Tent the stuffing with foil if it has started to brown too quickly. Rotate the pans but return them to their same racks. Continue cooking until the turkey skin is golden brown and crisp, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 160 degrees F, 20 to 30 minutes more. At this point the potatoes should be tender, the stuffing browned in some areas, the Brussels sprouts browned and tender, and the cranberries softened and bubbling. (If the sweet potatoes are undercooked, take them off the pan and put them back in the oven directly on the rack to continue cooking until tender, up to 10 minutes more.) Transfer the turkey breasts to a cutting board to rest at least 10 minutes before slicing. Remove the foil from the cranberry sauce and set aside to cool. Use a fork to combine the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the brown sugar in a small bowl. Split the sweet potatoes, fluff with a fork and stir in the butter and brown sugar mixture; sprinkle with salt. Top with the marshmallows and return to the pan with the Brussels sprouts. Put the dinner rolls on the same pan and return to the oven to warm the marshmallows and rolls, 3 to 5 minutes. Carve the turkey breasts and return them to the sheet pan with the stuffing to serve.

This is because the easiest way to poach salmon for this dish is to do it in the oven. So: pour the water into a roasting pan, add the lime leaves and then the salmon. Cover the pan with foil, put in the oven and cook for about 15 minutes, by which time the salmon should be tender. Remove the pan from the oven and drain the liquid off into a pitcher. Keep the fish warm simply by replacing the foil on the pan. Melt the butter in a wide, heavy saucepan that has a tight-fitting lid, and add the oil to stop the butter burning. Soften the onion in the pan and add the spices, then keep cooking till the onion is slightly translucent and suffused with soft perfume of the spices. Add the rice and stir with a wooden spoon so that it's all well coated. There's not enough onion to give a heavy coating: just make sure the rice is fragrantly slicked. Pour in the reserved liquid from the pitcher, about 2 1/4 cups, and stir before covering with the lid and cooking gently for 15 minutes. If your stove is vociferous you may need a flame tamer. At the end of the cooking time, when the rice is tender and has lost all chalkiness, turn off the heat, remove the lid, cover the pan with a dish towel and then replace the lid. This will help absorb any extra moisture form the rice. It is also the best way to let the rice stand without getting sticky or cold, which is useful when you've got a few friends and a few dishes to keep your eye on. Just before you want to eat, drain off any extra liquid that's collected in the dish with the salmon, then flake the fish with a fork. Add to it the rice, egg, cilantro, lime juice and a drop or 2 of fish sauce. Stir gently to mix - I use a couple of wooden paddles or spatulas - and taste to see if you want any more lime juice or fish sauce. Sprinkle over the zest from the 2 juiced halves of the lime and serve. I love it served just as it is in the roasting dish, but if you want to, and I often do (consistency is a requirement of a recipe but not of a cook), decant into large plate before you add the lime zest, then surround with lime segments and add the zest and a small handful of freshly chopped cilantro. This is one of those rare dishes that manages to be comforting and light at the same time. And - should you have leftovers, which I wouldn't count on - it's heavenly eaten, as all leftovers demand to be, standing up, straight from the fridge.

2 cups heavy cream 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup heavy cream 8 ounces milk chocolate, roughly chopped
Roasted almonds, crushed, for garnish
Smoked sea salt
Instructions: For the eclairs: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F with a rack on the middle shelf. In a non-reactive saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, salt, sugar and butter, and bring to a simmer. Once the butter has melted, quickly add the flour and stir constantly with a wooden spoon for about 3 minutes. Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix to cool down, until the dough mostly stops steaming, 1 minute. Add the eggs and whites, slowly until evenly incorporated and glossy. To check the consistency of the batter, run your finger or spoon through it. It should leave a pathway that slowly falls in on itself. If it's too stiff, you may have to add an additional egg. Place the batter in a pastry bag or resealable plastic bag and cut a hot-dog-size hole in the corner. On a silicon-lined sheet tray, pipe long and fat hot-dog-size lines about 6-inches long, evenly spaced. Use a wet finger to press down any peaks and lightly mist with water from a spray bottle. Bake until slightly golden and puffed, 20 minutes. Then lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and bake an additional 20 minutes. For the whipped cream: In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whisk the cream, confectioners' sugar and almond extract until stiff peaks form.

1 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
Instructions: In a blender, blend together the eggs, evaporated milk, condensed milk, whole milk, cocoa, allspice and cinnamon until well incorporated and creamy. Bake either using the water bath or double boiler method below. To bake using the water bath method: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Caramelize the sugar in a pan over the stovetop until a light golden brown, using a wooden spoon to stir. This is the trickiest part as sugar burns easily, so don't let it get too dark and keep mixing the sugar with the spoon. Don't step away from this process; once the sugar gets hot, it browns quickly. Once it is completely liquefied, pour into an ovensafe 6- to 8-inch round mold (a tempered glass pie dish works well) and coat the bottom and sides three-quarters of the way up. Fill an oven roasting pan or baking dish with about 1 inch of water and place the sugar-coated pie dish inside. Add the flan mixture to the pie dish and bake until the top is firm and the flan starts to pull away from the sides, about 45 minutes. Remove from the water bath and let cool to room temperature, about 2 hours. To transfer the flan to a serving plate, make sure the sides are loose (you can run a thin knife around the edges to make sure it is not sticking to the sides), put a plate on top and in one fluid motion, invert the flan onto the plate and remove the pie dish. Refrigerate to chill before slicing and serving. To bake using the double boiler method: If you have a double boiler pan (which is what I typically use and is easier!), caramelize the sugar in the double boiler insert on the stovetop using the same method as above. Remove from the heat and, using a wooden spoon and by tilting and rotating the pan, coat all sides of the pan three-quarters of the way up. Fill the other double boiler pan with water about one-quarter full and bring to a boil while the sugar is caramelizing. Pour the flan mixture into the caramel and put the double boiler insert over the pan with the hot water. Cover and cook over medium low until the flan appears more solid and pulls away from the sides, about 45 minutes. Let cool to room temperature for about 2 hours before inverting onto a serving plate using the same method as above. Refrigerate and serve cold.

Spoon 1/2 cup of the filling into the center of the square and spread it out a bit towards 2 opposite corners. Fold the dough diagonally over the filling to make a triangle and seal by pressing the edges with a fork. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pastry squares and filling. Arrange the turnovers 2-inches apart. Make 2 or 3 vents in the top of each turnover with a sharp knife, using the tip to open the vents to expose the fruit (this will prevent the vents from closing in the oven). If your kitchen is very hot, pop each turnover in the freezer while you work and cut vents them when they are chilled. You can fill and freeze the turnovers for up to 5 days before baking; add an additional 5 minutes to the baking time. Bake the turnovers until deep golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes, rotating the pan after 10 minutes. Place the pan on a rack and let the turnovers cool for 5 minutes before serving. The turnovers can also be served at room temperature.

4 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 large yellow onion, small diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 to 3/4 cup whole milk
2 pounds lean ground beef (90/10)
1/2 cup couscous
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus shaved Parmesan for garnish 1/2 cup ricotta
2 large eggs
2 cloves garlic, grated
Kosher salt
1 bottle red wine, preferably Chianti Kosher salt
1 pound spaghetti
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. For the sauce: Combine the tomatoes, onions, garlic and bay leaf in large Dutch oven. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer, partially covered, until the tomatoes have broken down and the sauce has slightly thickened, 30 to 45 minutes. (If needed, cook uncovered for another 10 minutes until thickened to desired consistency.) Remove the bay leaf and pulse the sauce with an immersion blender until slightly smooth but still rough. Add the butter and half of the parsley and season to taste. Keep warm over medium heat until the meatballs are ready. For the meatballs: While the sauce is simmering, start on the meatballs. In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Combine the Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, sage and 1/2 cup of the milk in a small bowl and set aside to allow the dried herbs to reconstitute, about 5 minutes. This will soften the spices and release their flavors. Transfer the sauteed onions and milk mixture to a large bowl. Add the ground beef, couscous, grated Parmesan, ricotta, eggs, garlic and 2 teaspoons kosher salt. Combine with your hands, making sure not to overmix. If the mixture looks too dry, add the remaining 1/4 cup milk. Using a 1 1/2-ounce-portion scoop or a scant 1/4 cup, scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. The mixture should yield 30 meatballs. Bake the meatballs until firm on the outside but slightly undercooked in the center, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the meatballs to the blended sauce and cook until cooked through, 10 minutes. For the pasta: In a large high-sided saute pan, bring 5 cups water, 3 cups of wine, and some salt to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 9 minutes, pressing the pasta down as it cooks to make sure it is fully submerged in the liquid. Strain the cooked pasta and return it to the pan along with any remaining wine (there should only be a little bit, less than 1/4 cup) and 1 cup of the sauce. Toss to combine. Serve immediately, topped with more sauce and the meatballs. Garnish with the remaining parsley and shaved Parmesan.

For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.) Cut three 12-inch pieces of heavy-duty foil. Working one piece at a time, fold in half lengthwise. Fold in half again and fold in half one more time; you should have a long strip of foil about 1 1/2 inches wide. Twist the two ends of the strip in opposite directions making a twisted rope of foil. Repeat with the remaining two pieces of foil. Set all three ropes in the center of a small disposable aluminum roaster about 1 inch apart and place the ham on top. (The ropes will prevent the bottom of the ham from burning.) Cover tightly with foil and place over indirect heat (if your grill has a thermometer, it should be at around 325 degrees F). Cover the grill and cook until just warmed through, 35 to 45 minutes. Meanwhile, boil the pineapple juice, brown sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until the glaze is very thick and has the consistency of honey, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and remove from the heat. Carefully remove the foil cover from the ham and discard; baste with the glaze, making sure to get in between each slice. Increase the heat to medium-high and move the ham over direct heat. Cover the grill and cook until the glaze begins to bubble, about 5 minutes. Baste again with the remaining glaze, then cover and cook until the glaze bubbles, 5 minutes more. Continue basting and cooking until the ham is shiny and the glaze begins to brown, about 10 more minutes. Remove from the grill and let sit 10 minutes, uncovered, before serving. Meanwhile, grill the pineapple rings over direct heat until charred on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Let cool. Arrange the pineapple rings on the uncut portion of the ham, grill marks facing up, and use toothpicks to secure them in place. Place a cherry in the center of each ring and secure with a toothpick. Serve the ham with any accumulated juices, remaining pineapple rings and cherries on the side.

This is a skill that professional pastry chefs develop after years of experience. Working with sugar will burn your fingers so know before you start that your fingers will develop burn blisters. Place the sugar, vinegar and water in a saucepan over high heat. Insert a candy thermometer and cook until the sugar reaches 320 degrees F. Use a pastry brush to keep the inside of the saucepan clean as the sugar cooks or the sugar may recrystallize. To do this, dip a clean brush in cold water and brush the inside of the pan clean. Pour the cooked sugar onto 3 or 4 silicone baking mats. If you want to color and/or flavor the sugar with food colors and/or flavored oils, this is the time to do so. Add a few drops of color to the sugar. Mix with a wooden skewer. To get started, push the sugar from the sides toward the center. This process takes a little while. Try to keep the sugar divided by color. Use the mat to push the firm sugar around the edges toward the center. Use a folding motion to accomplish that task. The next step is to pick up the sugar with your hands. Place each color under the heat of the sugar lamp. Pull the sugar until it becomes glossy and the color is evenly distributed. You will need to pull the colors simultaneously. Keep them under the sugar lamp but keep an eye on them. The lamp can melt the sugar so it is important keep rotating it and folding it onto itself. Start with 2 pieces of colored sugar. I used red and green. Pull them into a rectangular shape that is about 1 1/2-inches wide by 3-inches long and 1/2-inch thick. Place the pieces side-to-side and let them stick together on the long side. Place a piece of white sugar that is about 1/2-inch wide by 3-inches long and 1/2-inch thick in the middle. Close the red and green around it. Roll it and twist it while pulling it. When it gets to the desired thickness, use a scissor to cut the length and shape into a cane. Allow to cool completely. The white is inside and will become apparent when eaten. Jacques? tips: Vinegar keeps the sugar from crystallizing. You will not taste the flavor. It serves as an acid in this recipe. Sometimes candy cane recipes contain corn syrup, which makes the sugar very dry and very hot. Adding corn syrup makes it more difficult to work with the sugar at home. Remember, the sugar is at 320 degrees F, and that will burn you. The ideal work surface is a silpat placed over cool marble or granite. If you do not have marble or stone, use wood. It is a good idea to use gloves to help protect your hands from the heat and to prevent burning. I use a special sugar box that includes a special heat source, If you don?t have one, you can work in front of the oven. Set the oven to 300 degrees F. Open the oven door and place the silpat on the oven door. It provides a similar effect to the sugar box heater.

2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/3 cup (5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
5 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Nonstick cooking spray, for the iron Freeze-dried strawberries, crushed, for topping
1 cup milk chocolate chips 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut oil
Instructions: For the strawberry filling: Put the ricotta in a strainer over a bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to overnight to drain the extra liquid. Meanwhile, chop the strawberries and mix with the granulated sugar. Place into a strainer over a bowl and let the strawberries sit for 4 hours or up to overnight in the refrigerator to drain the excess liquid. Add the strained ricotta and heavy cream to the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the whisk attachment, whisk the mixture until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and whisk just until combined. Add the strained strawberries and stir by hand to incorporate. For the waffle cookie: Cream the butter and granulated sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the eggs one at a time. Add the flour, salt, cardamom, milk and vanilla and mix until combined. For the cannoli: Heat a krumkake iron on medium. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. When the iron is ready, spray cooking spray lightly on both sides. Add 1 tablespoon of the batter in the center. (Use another spoon to help scoop out the batter from your tablespoon, because the batter is slightly thick.) Close the iron and cook the waffle cookies for 1 1/2 minutes. Working quickly, open the iron and immediately roll one of the waffle cookies with a non-metal spoon over a krumkake mold. Remove to the parchment-lined sheet tray to cool in the mold. Repeat with the other waffle cookie. Each cookie will crisp up as it cools, about 2 minutes. Gently slide the waffle cookie off the krumkake mold and repeat with the remaining batter. For the chocolate sauce: Fill a pot with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and fit a heat resistant bowl into the pot. (The bottom of the bowl should not touch the water.) The steam will heat and melt the chocolate. Add the chocolate chips and the coconut oil to the bowl and stir to melt. Working quickly, dip the larger end of a waffle cookie in the chocolate and return the cookie to the parchment-lined sheet tray to cool. Repeat with the remaining cookies. Place the tray of cookies into the fridge or freezer to quickly cool, approximately 10 minutes. Snip the end of a piping bag, then place it into a tall glass and fold the top of the bag over the lip of the glass. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the strawberry filling into the piping bag. Twist the top to close. Taking one waffle cookie at a time, pipe the strawberry filling into the cone. Sprinkle with the crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Repeat with the remaining waffle cookies.

Add whole eggs, yolks, and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the well and lightly beat with a fork. Gradually draw in the flour from the inside wall of the well in a circular motion. Use 1 hand for mixing and the other to protect the outer wall. Continue to incorporate all the flour until it forms a ball. Knead and fold the dough until elastic and smooth, this should take about 10 minutes. Brush the surface with remaining olive oil and wrap the dough in plastic wrap; let rest for about 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax. Divide the ball of dough in small sections, cover and reserve the dough you are not immediately using to prevent it from drying out. Form the dough into a rectangle and roll it through the pasta machine, 2 or 3 times, at widest setting. Pull and stretch the sheet of dough with the palm of your hand as it emerges from the rollers. Reduce the setting and crank dough through again, 2 or 3 times. Continue tightening and rolling until the sheet is about 1/4-inch thick. Keep in mind, overly thick pasta tastes gummy. Cut the long sheet into workable 18-inch pieces. Now, using the fettuccine cutting attachment, run the sheets through the cutting slot. Dust the noodles and a baking sheet with cornmeal. Coil the strands into a nest. Allow to dry for about 10 minutes before cooking. To prepare Alfredo sauce: Heat heavy cream over low-medium heat in a deep saute pan.

French each breast by scrapping the meat, skin and tissue off of the wing bone while keeping it attached to the breast. With the heel of a chef's knife make a clean break on the bone without creating any fragments. (You can also purchase boneless duck breasts if you desire.)
Score the skin on each breast by lightly cutting through the skin but not into the meat. Make a criss cross pattern to allow for easy rendering. Preheat a large saute pan and add the canola oil. Season the duck with salt and pepper on all sides. Place the breasts into the skillet, skin side down. Turn the heat down to low and allow the breasts to render for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the skin is very crispy.
Turn the breasts over and place in the oven and cook for 2 to 4 minutes or until desired doneness. Remove the duck and allow it to rest for 1 to 2 minutes. Slice the breast into 4 to 6 equal pieces and serve immediately. The duck should be served medium rare. Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
Place a heavy gauge skillet on the stove over medium heat. Add 1 ounce of canola oil to the pan and add the duck legs, skin side down. Turn up the heat to make sure that the legs are rendering but not burning. Render the legs for 15 to 20 minutes or until the skin is completely crispy. Remove the legs from the pan, saving the duck fat, and place the duck legs into a deep oven proof dish. Place the onions, garlic, celery and thyme over the duck legs. Poor the rendered duck fat over the legs and add as much canola oil as you need to completely cover the duck. Cover the dish with tin foil and place in the oven for 3 to 4 hours. Remove the dish and allow it to cool. Remove the duck legs from the fat and remove the skin. With a fork or small knife begin to shred and remove all the meat from the legs. The meat should be very tender and shredded into thin even pieces. This can be done days in advance and reheated when needed. Heat a saute pan over very high heat and allow it to get extremely hot.

3/4 cup sugar
3 ripe but firm bananas
3 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note) 3 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups buttermilk
Refrigerated canned whipped cream, for topping 10 to 12 maraschino cherries with stems
2 tablespoons finely chopped roasted peanuts
2 tablespoons colored sprinkles
Hot fudge and caramel sauce, for serving
Instructions: For the ice cream layer: Line a 9-inch round cake pan with two layers of plastic wrap, pressing into the sides and corners to smooth it out as much as possible and leaving an overhang so you can lift the ice cream out. Spread the vanilla ice cream in the prepared pan in an even layer using a small offset spatula or the back of a spoon, then freeze until solid, about 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours. Repeat with the chocolate and strawberry ice creams, spreading the layers on top of each other and freezing each layer until firm. (See Cook's Note.)
For the topping: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the sides of two 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray and dust the sides lightly with flour. Line the bottoms with parchment paper rounds.
Combine the sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons water in a medium skillet and stir until the mixture looks like wet sand. Cook over medium-high heat, gently swirling the pan occasionally but not stirring, until light amber, about 5 minutes. Pour the caramel syrup into the bottom of one of the prepared cake pans.
Peel and cut each of the bananas crosswise into 3 equal pieces. Cut each piece in half lengthwise. Arrange two banana pieces cut-side down in the pan with the caramel so they from an upside-down V. Continue making upside-down Vs with the banana pieces all the way across the pan. Fill in any empty spaces with the remaining banana pieces.
For the cake: Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add the sugar and vegetable oil to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat to combine. Add the eggs one at a time, beating to incorporate after each addition, then beat in the vanilla until combined. With the mixer on low speed, alternate adding the flour and buttermilk in 3 parts each, scraping down the bowl as needed, then beat on medium-high for 1 full minute.
Divide the batter between the two prepared pans, covering the bananas evenly (use an offset spatula if needed). Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour (the plain cake will bake faster than the one with the topping, so check both). Let cool on a rack until cool enough to handle, about 25 minutes, then turn the cakes out onto racks to cool completely.
Place the plain cake layer on a cake pedestal or plate. Remove the ice cream from the freezer and lift it out of the pan using the plastic wrap. Invert the ice cream layer directly on the cake layer. Top with the second cake layer, bananas facing up. Decorate the top with whipped cream rosettes, then top with cherries and sprinkle with chopped peanuts and sprinkles. Serve immediately with hot fudge and caramel sauce.

1 sprig fresh rosemary
Kosher salt Maple syrup Instructions: For the burger: Preheat the grill to medium heat. Get your wood chips smoking in the grill.
Gently combine the ground beef and lamb. Sprinkle the bourbon over the ground meat and let rest for 2 minutes. After the bourbon has soaked into the meat mixture, incorporate the duck fat, mustard, parsley, thyme, hot sauce, vinegar, shallots and some salt and pepper. Be careful not to over mix, particularly with the duck fat; the fat should be evenly distributed in small pieces the size of a pencil head. Form 4 patties loosely, just enough to hold their shape and not fall apart. Grill by placing the patties in a U formation on the grill (outside grills on high and center section off, or make a charcoal well). Cook to medium-rare, about 4 minutes per side. Allow to rest in a warm place. Toast the split buns on the grill while the smoke is building.

Once cool enough to handle, cut into thin strips and set aside. In a heavy saucepot over high heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy and rendered. Stir in the onion strips and bourbon and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, and then stir in the butter. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

Lightly butter two 9-inch/23-cm round cake pans/tins. Line with parchment/baking paper. Butter the parchment/baking paper. Dust the inside of both pans with cocoa powder and knock against the side of the counter to settle a thin dusting of cocoa inside the pans; discard any extra cocoa. Whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda/bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, and salt together in the bowl of a stand mixer.
Add 1 cup/240 ml of the warm water, the oil, and melted butter and mix on medium speed until combined. Stop the mixer to scrape down the sides of the bowl and make sure all the ingredients are fully incorporated. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well between additions to incorporate and aerate the batter, which gives the cake a more even crumb. Add the remaining 3/4 cup/180 ml warm water and vanilla and beat until smooth and aerated, about 2 minutes. The batter will look loose and watery, about the consistency of heavy cream or hot fudge.
Divide evenly between the prepared pans and tap lightly on the counter to smooth the top. Bake until the cakes are evenly domed and spring back lightly when touched, about 40 minutes. Test the cakes with a toothpick inserted into the centers; if it comes out clean your cakes are done.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let cool on a wire rack until they are just warm to the touch, about 15 minutes. The cakes will pull away from the sides of the pans slightly as they cool. Flip the pans to unmold the cakes onto a rack to cool completely, 1 hour.
Make the frosting: Before you begin, check to make sure the butter is room temperature, just soft enough to press easily with your finger. Beat together the butter, agave, confectioners'/icing sugar, cocoa powder, and warm water with a stand mixer until light and creamy and evenly combined, about 2 minutes. Stop to scrape down the sides and make sure all the butter is fully combined. Add the cool cream and beat on medium-high until fluffy and creamy.
When the cakes are completely cooled, slice off the dome from one of the layers with a serrated knife so that you can stack the layers easily. Lay the trimmed cake layer on a cake stand or serving platter, trimmed-side up. Tear four sheets of parchment/baking paper or wax/greaseproof paper into long strips and tuck under the edges of the cake around all the sides (this will help to keep your serving platter clean as you frost). Scoop about one-third of the frosting onto the top of the cake. Using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, spread the frosting evenly over the top of the cake and around the sides. Cover with the second cake layer, domed-side up, and press down slightly to flatten. Look down at the cake and slide the top cake layer until it lines up perfectly with the bottom layer. Add another one-third of the frosting to the top and spread evenly over the top. Spread the remaining one-third of the icing around the sides of the cake to create a smooth, even layer.
Make careless swirls of icing all over the top of the cake using the back of a large spoon. Serve immediately or store in a cool place until ready to serve.
If you plan to make ahead and refrigerate, note that the icing will set up in the fridge and will sweat slightly when it comes out. Remove from the fridge about 1 hour before serving to restore the frosting to its luscious, creamy state.

" 9101,"Swineapple 1 large ripe whole pineapple 1 pound BBQ pork ribs, meat removed from the bones 12 slices thick-cut bacon (see Cook's Note) Instructions: Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat: For a gas grill (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For a charcoal grill, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.) Slice off the top and bottom of the pineapple with a sharp knife and set the pieces aside. Remove the peel from the pineapple, cutting it off in strips. Using a paring knife, carefully hollow out the pineapple to a 3/4-inch-thick shell. Stuff the pineapple with the ribs. Place the top and bottom pieces back on the pineapple and secure them in place with 4 long bamboo skewers. Place a large piece of parchment on your work surface. Arrange 6 slices bacon horizontally on the parchment. The edges of the slices should touch but not overlap. Working with the remaining 6 slices, weave the bacon in an over-under pattern by lifting alternating slices of the horizontal bacon and vertically placing a slice of bacon over or under as needed to create a woven lattice design. Wrap the bacon lattice around the pineapple and secure it in place with 8 long bamboo skewers. Trim the protruding skewer tips down to 1/2 inch lengths with kitchen shears. Put the swineapple on the grill over the drip pan with the bacon seam-side down. Cover the grill and cook until the bacon is crispy and golden brown and the meat is hot in the center, about 1 hour.

15 soft hamburger buns Instructions: For the BBQ sauce: Combine the ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, garlic, cider vinegar, Worcestershire, Cajun seasoning and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring until ingredients are completely incorporated. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently until the flavors have melded and sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. If not using right away, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. For the pulled pork: Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.

Using the paddle attachment, start the mixer on low and mix until the dough just comes together, forming a ball. Lube the hook attachment with cooking spray. Attach the hook to the mixer and knead for 15 minutes on medium speed. Tear off a small piece of dough and flatten into a disc. Stretch the dough until thin. Hold it up to the light and look to see if the baker's windowpane, or taut membrane, has formed. If the dough tears before it forms, knead the dough for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Roll the pizza dough into a smooth ball on the countertop. Place into a stainless steel or glass bowl. Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 18 to 24 hours. Place the pizza stone or tile onto the bottom of a cold oven and turn the oven to its highest temperature, about 500 degrees F. If the oven has coils on the oven floor, place the tile onto the lowest rack of the oven. Split the pizza dough into 2 equal parts using a knife or a dough scraper. Flatten into a disk onto the countertop and then fold the dough into a ball. Wet hands barely with water and rub them onto the countertop to dampen the surface. Roll the dough on the surface until it tightens. Cover one ball with a tea towel and rest for 30 minutes. Repeat the steps with the other piece of dough. If not baking the remaining pizza immediately, spray the inside of a ziptop bag with cooking spray and place the dough ball into the bag. Refrigerate for up to 6 days. Sprinkle the flour onto the peel and place the dough onto the peel. Using your hands, form a lip around the edges of the pizza. Stretch the dough into a round disc, rotating after each stretch. Toss the dough in the air if you dare. Shake the pizza on the peel to be sure that it will slide onto the pizza stone or tile. (Dress and bake the pizza immediately for a crisp crust or rest the dough for 30 minutes if you want a chewy texture.) Brush the rim of the pizza with olive oil. Spread the pizza sauce evenly onto the pizza. Sprinkle the herbs onto the pizza and top with the cheese. Slide the pizza onto the tile and bake for 7 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown. Rest for 3 minutes before slicing. *This recipe's been on the web for some time now and although most of the reactions have been darned positive, some of you have commented that the dough was way too salty. At first we chalked this up to personal preference; some folks are just not as sensitive as others to this basic flavor. And of course salty toppings would definitley change the dynamic. Still, we didn't want to leave it at that. We went back to the lab and found that the flake size of kosher salt differs quite a bit from brand to brand. This could easily result in a too salty crust. So unless you've had success with the recipe in the past, we suggest you cut the salt by one teaspoon, from a tablespoon to two teaspoons. So that the yeast doesn't go crazy, you should also cut back on the sugar by half a teaspoon.

1 cup/250ml milk 1/2 cup/125ml butter 1 tablespoon/15ml granulated sugar 1 teaspoon/5ml salt 5 large eggs 1/4 cup/60ml toasted pistachios, crushed 1/4 cup/60ml coarse brown sugar (turbinado) 2 cups/500ml 35-percent cream 1 cup/250ml sugar 1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise and seeds scraped
8 egg yolks 1 cup/250ml whole shelled pistachios, plus more for garnish 2 cups/500ml chopped good-quality dark chocolate 1 cup/250ml 35-percent cream 1 cup/250ml flour, sifted Instructions: For the clementine marmalade: Put the clementines (with the skin on) in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain and let cool. Thinly slice the clementines and remove any seeds. Return to the pot along with the sugar and the lemon zest and juice. Simmer over low heat until the peels are translucent and candied, about 1 hour. For the pastry puffs: Combine the milk, butter, granulated sugar and salt in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and quickly add the flour, stirring with a wooden spoon. Return to the heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the saucepan and forms a thick, smooth ball, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Beat in 4 eggs, one at a time, with the wooden spoon until smooth and thick. When you put a small amount of dough between two fingers and pull your fingers apart, two peaks should form on the dough.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag. Pipe mounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Beat the remaining egg with a bit of water for the egg wash, and use a pastry brush to gently brush it over the tops of the dough. Gently flatten any peaks on top of the mounds. Sprinkle with the crushed pistachios and brown sugar.
Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and bake until the pastry puffs are golden and dry inside, 15 minutes more. Turn the oven off. Prop the oven door open so that it is slightly ajar, and let the pastry dry in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
For the custard cream: Whisk together the cream and 1/2 cup sugar in a saucepan. Add the scraped vanilla and bean. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, and remove from the heat.
Beat the egg yolks and remaining 1/2 cup sugar until thick enough to hold a ribbon on the surface when you lift up the whisk. Slowly beat in the hot cream mixture. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, until it coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Strain into a bowl and press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour. Stir 1 cup (250 ml) clementine marmalade and the whole pistachios into the cold custard. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 4 hours. For the chocolate sauce: Bring the cream just to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the chocolate, melt it and stir with a wooden spoon until smooth. Keep warm.
To serve, split the pastry puffs in half, fill the bottom half with a scoop of the frozen custard and replace the top. Place on a plate and drizzle with warm chocolate sauce. Sprinkle with pistachios. Serve immediately. ","[Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sparkling wine]

In a small bowl, whisk up yogurt, tahini, the juice of 1 lemon and cumin. Then grate the garlic into the sauce with a zester or paste it with a knife (add a fat pinch of salt). Whisk sauce again.

Season the meat with salt and pepper, cumin, coriander, paprika, sumac if using, turmeric, cardamom, crushed red pepper, allspice and nutmeg. Crack 2 cloves garlic and grate them into the bowl or finely chop. Peel the onion and grate about 3 tablespoons of it into the bowl. Finley chop the mint and parsley then add them to the lamb. Combine all the ingredients and mound up. Score meat into 4 equal portions and form 4 patties, thinner at the center for even cooking. To prepare the burgers, add EVOO, 1 slow turn of the pan, to skillet (a thin layer to just glaze the surface). Add patties and cook about 7 minutes for lamb, a minute or two longer for chicken, turning occasionally. If cooking lamb, press down with spatula when you turn the patties -- lean ground lamb tends to tighten as it cooks more so than other ground meats. When you remove the patties they can be served as such but for a more authentic facsimile of shawarma, we rest the patties and very thinly slice them on a bias. Regardless, while the burgers cook, prepare your toppings of choice. Assemble burgers: bun bottoms, sauce, patty or thinly sliced shawarma, lettuce, hot cherry peppers, cucumbers, herb leaves, dressed fennel and onions, bun top. OR split a pita and fill with giardiniera and Israeli pickles. Poke with a couple of toothpicks and split burgers down the middle. Serve burgers with chips.

1 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg and 1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions: For the chocolate malted shakes: Put ice cream, milk and malted milk powder in a blender and blend until combined, but still thick. (If your blender isn't big enough to handle 1 quart of ice cream, blend in batches.) For the whipped cream: Combine cream, granulated sugar and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whip on medium speed until it reaches medium peaks. Pour the blended malt into 4 to 6 tall glasses, top with whipped cream, then tear Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies in half and place one half on top of the whipped cream in each glass. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. Cream the butter with both sugars in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla and beat well. Mix in 1/3 cup room temperature water. Mix in the flour mixture until well combined, then stir in the chocolate chips. Scoop the dough into balls slightly smaller than a golf ball and place on the lined baking sheet. (Cookies can be placed close together since you are only freezing them right now.) Chill the cookies in the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Line another baking sheet with parchment paper. Take the cookies off the frozen baking sheet and place them at least 3 inches apart on the new sheet. Let them warm up just enough so you can squish them. Pressing with your palm or the flat bottom of a glass, gently flatten each cookie to about 1/4-inch thick. Bake until kinda dark golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack for 15 minutes.

1 tablespoon hot sauce
4 beefsteak tomatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup panko 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Olive oil, for drizzling
Instructions: For the mac and cheese: In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until al dente; drain. Set an extra-large skillet, or a large heavy saucepan, over medium-low heat and cook the bacon until crispy and the fat renders out, 10 to 12 minutes. Set the bacon aside, reserving the fat to build your sauce. At this point you should have about 1/4 cup of reserved fat. If needed, add some olive oil or butter to make sure you have a 1/4 cup of fat in the pan. Add the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until the paste bubbles a bit, about 2 minutes (make sure it doesn't brown). Continuing to whisk, add 3 cups of the hot milk and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes. Stir in the dry mustard, and then gradually add the Cheddar and Muenster cheeses, stirring constantly until all of the cheese has melted into the sauce. Stir in the hot sauce and the remaining 1 cup milk. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and stir to coat. Stir in the crispy bacon and season with salt and pepper.

Turn out the meat onto a baking sheet (just dump it out \u2014 try not to touch the meat too much). Repeat the grinding with the remaining meat. Spread the meat on the baking sheet and inspect carefully, discarding any long strands of gristle or large chunks of hard meat or fat. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Divide the meat into 4 equal piles. Form the piles with your hands into 4 large thin patties, about 4 inches wide. The patties should be loosely packed.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or large heavy griddle pan over high heat. Spread the butter on the cut sides of the buns. Toast the buns in the skillet until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Working in two batches, add the beef patties to the skillet and immediately press them down once with a spatula; do not smoosh them again. Cook until crusty brown on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes; flip once, top with a piece of cheese and cook until the other side is crusty and the cheese melts, about 4 more minutes.

Sprinkle the remaining rub on the turkey's skin. Place the turkey on a sheet tray and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight or up to 24 hours so the flavors can marry. Fill your fryer with peanut oil to the line you marked (do not fill more than three-quarters of the way). Preheat the oil to 400 degrees F; it will take about 1 hour. Meanwhile, remove the turkey from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature as your oil heats. Once the oil reaches 400 degrees F, very carefully lower the turkey into the hot oil. (Most turkey fryers come with a basket for the turkey that has hooks and a handle to lower and lift; otherwise, get yourself a long set of sturdy tongs to grip the inside cavity and breast and an industrial kitchen fork to hold the back side of the bird.) Make sure the oil maintains its temperature while frying. Fry the turkey until the skin is dark golden brown and crisp, or until the internal temperature of the breast reaches 155 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 45 minutes. Carefully remove the turkey from the oil and let it rest and drain on a wire rack, about 30 minutes. Do not cover the turkey with foil or it will lose some of its crispness. The internal temperature will rise to 165 degrees F while resting. Transfer the turkey to a board or platter. ","[Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel]

Add the onions and the radishes to the vinegar mixture and reserve. Clean the crabs by flipping up each side and removing the lungs. Pull the \apron\ flap off of the bottom of the crab. Using a sharp pair of scissors cut the face off the crab, this seems really mean - it is- accept it and move on.
Soft-shell crabs usually have a lot of water in them which can be very dangerous during frying. Pat the crabs with paper towels to remove excess water.
Add the frying oil to a large saute pan until it reaches a depth of 1/4-inch. Bring to a medium-high heat.
While the oil is heating, in a large bowl, toss together the mesclun, zucchini, some of the pickled onions and radishes with some of the pickling liquid, and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. The salad should be lightly dressed, very flavorful and not soggy. Arrange the salad on 4 individual salad plates.
Set up a plate lined with paper towels to drain the crabs when they come out of the frying pan. Check the temperature of the oil by flicking flour into the pan. The flour will sizzle when the oil is hot. Put the flour into a shallow dish. When the oil is hot dredge the crabs the flour and pat off the excess. Gently add the crabs to the pan. When putting the crabs in the pan, be careful not to throw them in the oil because the hot oil will splash. Fry the crabs until crispy on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove them from the pan to paper towels to blot excess oil. Sprinkle with salt and put 1 crab on each of the prepared salads. Garnish with a dollop of the garlic aioli and serve.
That's crabby! In the bowl of a food processor, add the garlic, vinegar and egg yolks. Turn the machine on. While the machine is running begin adding the oil, drop by drop, until you see the mixture thicken. When the mixture begins to look like a smooth homogeneous mixture, the oil can be added in a slow thin stream. If the mixture is too thick, add a few drops of water to thin it down. Season with salt and taste to make sure it is delicious.

Place the butternut squash on a rimmed baking sheet, toss with the olive oil and spread out into a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Place the red and yellow pepper halves cut-side down on another rimmed baking sheet.
Place both baking sheets on the middle rack and roast until the squash has softened and browned and the peppers have charred, about 25 minutes. Set the vegetables aside. When the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin and discard. Slice the peppers into 1/2-inch strips, season lightly with salt and pepper and set aside. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and mushrooms and cook until soft and browned and any liquid is evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the sage and thyme, season with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly. Set the mushroom mixture aside to cool.
Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan. Place the spinach in a colander in the sink and pour the boiling water over the leaves to wilt them. Shake the colander to drain the water, then lay the spinach on paper towels and pat dry, removing as much of the remaining water as possible. Set the spinach aside.
To make the base for the pithivier, lay 1 sheet of the puff pastry on a lightly floured piece of parchment paper set on a baking sheet. Using an upside-down bowl with a 10-inch-wide rim as a guide, cut out a 10-inch circle from the pastry using a sharp knife. Gather the scraps and set aside for another use (see Cook\u2019s Note).
Spread the cooled mushroom mixture over the puff pastry base, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. Arrange the cooled butternut squash cubes on top of the mushroom mixture. Sprinkle the goat cheese over the squash, then top with the reserved spinach and roasted pepper strips. Wet your hands and gently mold the filling into a dome shape, then set aside.
To make the puff pastry top, lay another sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured piece of parchment paper. Using an upside-down bowl with a 12-inch-wide rim as a guide, cut out a 12-inch circle from the pastry using a sharp knife. Gather the scraps and add to the existing scraps.
Whisk together the egg yolk and water in a small bowl. Brush the egg wash around the border of the 10-inch pithivier base. Gently lay the 12-inch circle over the base so that it completely covers the filling. Press down all around the edges of the pithivier to seal the filling inside, making sure to press out any air bubbles as you go. Don\u2019t worry if the base is no longer a perfect circle. You will trim it later. Egg wash the entire top of the pithivier and set aside.
Cut the remaining sheet of puff pastry in half lengthwise so that you have two pieces, each approximately 6 by 15 inches. Set 1 piece aside. Firmly roll a lattice roller lengthwise down the other piece. Repeat until the entire piece has been cut with the lattice.
Use your fingers to gently pull the lattice apart, starting from the middle of the lattice and working your way out. As you work, use a sharp knife to open up any sections where the cutter did not go all the way through the lattice. Gently drape the lattice over the pithivier, then use your hands to smooth it into shape, ensuring that the entire top is covered.
Place the 10-inch-wide bowl used earlier over the pithivier and use a sharp knife to trim the base into a neat 10-inch circle. Add any dough scraps to the existing scraps. Use the back of the knife to make 1/2-inch-deep vertical indentations around the base. Evenly egg wash the entire surface of the pithivier, being careful not to let the egg wash pool in the lattice as that will create uneven browning.
Stir together the turmeric and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl until completely combined. Lay the remaining 6-by-15-inch piece of pastry on a piece of lightly floured parchment paper and roll out the pastry as thinly as possible. (That will help ensure that the petals do not puff up and distort in the oven.) Using a small pastry brush, brush the top of the sheet with the turmeric mixture. Don\u2019t worry if the mixture seems to go on a bit unevenly. The variegated shades of yellow will look lovely once you begin to make the flowers.
Using a 1 1/2-inch and 1-inch petal cutter, cut petals from the sheet of pastry. The number of petals you cut depends on how many flowers you want to make (and what size you\u2019d like them to be). To create the 4 large flowers and 6 small flowers shown in the picture, you will need to cut sixty-six 1-inch petals and forty-four 1 1/2-inch petals.
To assemble a flower, dab a small amount of egg wash on the lattice. Place 6 petals in a circle, ensuring that the top of the petals meet in the center. Place another dab of egg wash in the center of the flower and add a second layer of 5 petals, offsetting each slightly from the one below it. Place another dab of egg wash in the center and attach a mushroom cap (see Cook\u2019s Note). Press firmly to adhere the cap to the petals. Transfer the finished pithivier to the freezer for at least 2 hours and preferably overnight.
When you are ready to bake the pithivier, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F with a rack in the lower-middle position.

Make a well in the center and pour in the water. Mix everything together well (by hand with a wooden spoon or, if by machine, with a dough hook on medium speed) to make a smooth, soft dough ball, 2 to 4 minutes. If doing by machine, continue to knead on medium-high speed for 5 minutes. Otherwise, put the dough on a clean work surface sprinkled with a little flour and knead for about 10 minutes. To test to see if the dough has been kneaded enough, form into a ball with a nice taut top. Put some flour on your finger and then prod the dough to make a small indent. If the dent springs back all the way, this means the dough is kneaded enough. If not, then knead a little bit more. Put the dough on the work surface (sprinkled with a little flour if you haven't already done so) and then flatten it out with a rolling pin to about an 8-inch round, 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Put the green onions and thyme in a pile in the center and then bring the sides of the dough up over the filling to enclose. Flip it over so the seam side is down and roll it out to the same size again. Once again, gather the edges up and over, but then knead the dough by hand to incorporate the filling ingredients evenly throughout. You may need to dust with a little more flour as you go if the green onions make things a little damp. Divide the dough into 10 equal-size pieces and knead each one into a ball with a nice taut top. Put the rolls, seam-side down and spaced apart, on a large nonstick baking sheet. Spray the rolls with a light spritz of cooking spray and then cover with plastic wrap so that it is airtight, but not too tight as the bread needs to grow. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and leave the bread on a chair about 3 feet away from the oven for 45 minutes, or until the bread has almost doubled in size. To test that the rolls are ready, remove the plastic wrap, put some flour on your finger and prod the side of the dough to make a small dent. The dent should spring back about halfway. When it does, it is ready. If necessary, leave it to rise a bit longer. Once ready, brush the dough balls with the beaten egg and lay 3 sage leaves in whatever decorative fashion you like on top of each one. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped underneath. Once ready, remove from the oven and serve warm.

Instructions: For the crust: Combine the water and vinegar in a liquid measuring cup and stick it in the fridge (or even the freezer) to get really cold. In a large bowl or food processor, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Add the butter and either use your hands to toss it with the flour and pinch the butter into flat sheets or pulse in the food processor, incorporating the butter so that about three-quarters of the mixture is mealy. (It's ok if there are still some slightly larger bits of butter.) Drizzle in the cold water and vinegar and mix with your hands or continue to pulse in the food processor just until the mixture comes together to form a dough. If it seems dry or is having a hard time coming together, add a bit more water, a few drops at a time, until it comes together. Turn it out onto a clean surface, divide the dough in two and pat into discs. One disc will be used for the pie; save the other disc for another use. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Adjust a rack to the lower third of the oven (with a pizza stone if you have one) and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. On a floured surface, roll out one of the discs to a circle just larger than 12 to 13 inches.
Press the dough into a 9 1/2-inch pie plate, trim any excess off, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, fold the edges under so they sit flush with the plate and crimp them with your fingers. Dock the pie crust using a fork. Freeze for 15 minutes. Place a piece of parchment paper over the crust and fill with dried beans or pie weights and bake, about 15 minutes. Remove the parchment and then bake until pale, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 375 degrees F.

Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring until glossy to caramelize the sugars, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and whisk in the cream and milk. Place the eggs in a heat safe bowl. Once the milk mixture is steamy, temper the eggs by adding a few ladles of the mixture, one at a time, to the eggs while whisking vigorously, then add them to the pumpkin mixture, whisking to combine until very smooth. Stir in the cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. Pour the mixture into the pie crust and bake until the edges are set but the center is still a little jiggly, 30 to 40 minutes.

Using a cake ring or a glass whose mouth is slightly smaller than a 14 to 16-ounce martini glass or champagne coupe, cut out 16 slices from the watermelon, and 16 slices from the honeydew. Save the best-looking 4 watermelon slices. Set out 4 (8 to 12-ounce) martini glasses or Champagne coupes. Layer 2 slices of watermelon and honeydew in each glass, lightly sprinkling each melon layer with the lemongrass dressing, chopped basil, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper.

To make the slices easy to grab and visually interesting, fold and shape them in a variety of ways. You can make rosettes by folding pieces of meat in half and then rolling each up like a cigar. Pinch the cured ham into little mounds or arrange in swirls. Salamis can be rolled or folded into quarters and stretched across a section of the board in little \rivers.\ Add the spreads to the board next, either mounded directly on the board or in small containers or on plates with a broad knife for spreading. Divide the cheeses among the sections, pairing them with the meats and spreads to contrast flavors and textures. Experiment with combinations. Try a creamy burrata or Brie as a companion to salty-sweet prosciutto; match a firm or hard cheese like asiago with a soft, mild mortadella; place a mild buttery fontina with a spicy salami to mellow it out. To encourage noshing, break the hard cheese into large shards, cut a wedge or two from a full wheel and slice some of the bigger blocks into easy-to-grab pieces. Pour the honey into a small glass jar or bowl, sprinkle in a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes and nestle it among the meats and cheeses with a little spoon for serving. Place the quince paste on a small plate or cutting board and the fig jam in a small bowl and place them among the meats. Arrange bundles of grapes near the saltier cheeses. Put the pickled vegetables, cornichons and mustard in separate small bowls and add them to the board. Fill in some the empty spaces with piles of nuts and apricots. Plug other blank spots with the figs or other fresh fruit. Fill in any remaining spaces with the baguette pieces, crostini, crisps and crackers, then put any remaining in a separate dish or basket. Serve the board at room temperature with an assortment of knives for cutting and spreading, small forks for spearing and spoons for drizzling and scooping. The board can sit at room temperature for up to 2 hours.

Instructions: Place the unground portion of the pork shoulder in the freezer for 30 minutes so it is easier to cut thinly. In a large pot of boiling water, cook the vermicelli for 8 minutes, then rinse thoroughly in cold water. Take a handful of the noodles and set aside. Drain and place into 6 piles on a tray to dry out a little. Cut the reserved handful rice noodles with scissor tips into 1-inch lengths and place in a mixing bowl.

Dip a rice paper into very hot water briefly and place on a cutting board to soften for 1 minute. Place 3 ounces of the shrimp and meat mixture into the middle of the rice paper to form a sausage shape 1 inch in diameter, then fold the ends in and roll into a tight roll. Set aside for later on a plastic wrap-lined sheet pan, making sure the rolls are not touching, or they will stick together. Continue with the remaining rice paper and filling to make 6 to 10 rolls. (These can be made in advance and frozen, then cooked from frozen.) Remove the pork shoulder from the freezer and cut as thinly as possible into 1/8-inch-thick pieces.
