Kosher salt
1 large egg white 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 3/4 cups almond flour
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Instructions: For the chutney: Combine the tomatoes, vinegar, brown sugar, coriander, ginger, red pepper flakes, shallots, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to keep at brisk simmer. Cook, stirring often, especially towards the end, until thickened and jammy, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool to warm or room temperature. For the crackers: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Whisk the egg white, rosemary, salt and pepper together in a large bowl until frothy. Add the almond flour and Parmesan. Mix well to form a dough. Flatten the dough into a rectangle and sandwich between 2 sheets of parchment paper. Roll the dough out into an approximate 10-inch square, patching up any cracks with your fingers as you go. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into approximate 1 1/2-inch squares. Transfer to the lined sheet pan and bake until golden brown and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes, then transfer the crackers to the cooling rack and cool completely (crackers along the edge may cook faster than those in the center; transfer them to a cooling rack and continue to bake the remaining crackers). Serve the tomato chutney with the crackers on the side. Any remaining chutney can be kept refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week and is delicious with cheese, on burgers or on a sandwich.

Add the beans, barbecue sauce, 1 cup stock, honey and brown sugar and mix gently to combine; season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer, about 20 minutes. Check to see if the mixture is dry, and if it is, add a little more stock. Continue simmering until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in the burnt ends. Garnish the top with the parsley and let sit 10 minutes before serving. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sweat the onion and garlic until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and simmer 15 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer 20 minutes. Puree the mixture in a food processor, pour into a bowl, and let cool at room temperature. May be refrigerated up to 1 week or frozen. Mix together all the spices in a bowl. Liberally rub the entire brisket with the spices, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours. Remove the brisket from the refrigerator 1 hour before beginning the smoking process to take the chill off, and remove the plastic wrap. Get your smoker running at 225 degrees F with hardwood charcoal and a few handfuls of soaked wood chips. This temperature should be maintained throughout the entire smoke. (If you are using a grill: Set up the grill for indirect heat, banking the coals on one side of the grill and scattering the wood chips on top. Maintain the temperature at 225 degrees throughout the smoking process, adding chips as necessary until you wrap the brisket in foil.) Place the brisket fat-side up on your smoker grate and close it up for the long smoke. Open your barbecue smoker every hour or 2 and spray the brisket liberally with apple juice to help keep the meat from drying out. Also keep apple juice in the water pan if you are using a water smoker. When the internal temperature reaches 165 to 170 degrees, after about 4 hours, wrap the brisket in aluminum foil and continue to cook for another 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours. This little trick is a big help in getting the meat tender, especially for beginners. Figure that a brisket smoked at around 200 degrees will take about 1 1/2 hours per pound. The brisket is done when the internal temperature reaches 185 degrees F. Remove and let rest 20 minutes before slicing. Remove the foil from the brisket over a large pan or disposable pan and reserve the liquid. Cut off the brisket points and reserve for another use.

1/2 cup cooked green pearl rice, warm One 4-by-7-inch sheet and one 4-by-2-inch sheet nori One 4-by-5 1/2-inch sheet and two 4-by-7-inch sheets nori Instructions: For the asparagus: Slice each asparagus spear in half lengthwise. Wrap each piece of asparagus in a 4-by-1 3/4-inch sheet of nori and set aside. For the marinated mushroom: Trim all sides of the mushroom until you have a 4-by-1-by-1-inch rectangular block. Slice the block lengthwise into 4 thin slices. In a small mixing bowl, whisk the soy sauce and sugar together until the sugar dissolves.
Place a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and mushrooms and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the soy mixture over the mushrooms and toss together until fully and evenly coated. Transfer the mushrooms to a small plate and let cool. Wipe out the skillet and reserve for cooking the tamago. Once the mushrooms have cooled, arrange the pieces onto half of a 4-inch square sheet of nori. Fold the remaining part of the nori over the mushrooms to wrap. For the cucumber: Trim the ends of the Persian cucumber until 4 inches long. Set aside. For the tamago (Japanese omelet): Beat together the eggs, soy sauce and pepper in a bowl. Place the reserved skillet from the mushrooms over medium-low heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the oil and one-third of the egg mixture. Gently scramble with a spatula until the eggs are barely set. Push the eggs to the side of the skillet, towards you. Add another 1/2 teaspoon oil to the empty portion of the skillet, add another third of the egg mixture and allow the eggs to cook into a flat disc. Once the eggs are barely set, flip the previously scrambled eggs over the flat disc of eggs and continue to flip until a roll forms. Push the roll to the side of the skillet again. Pour the remaining oil and egg mixture into the skillet and repeat the last step until you have a thicker, tight omelet roll. Slide the tamago onto a cutting board and cool. Once cool enough to handle, trim the omelet down to a 4-by-1/2-1/2-inch rectangle (scraps can be snacked on!). Set aside.
For the sushi rice: Combine the vinegar, sugar and salt in a small mixing bowl and whisk together. Sprinkle two-thirds of the vinegar mixture over the cooked white rice and gently fold together until fully incorporated.

Gently flatten the rice on top of the mushroom and place 2 wrapped asparagus spears side by side, cut-side down, on top. Top the asparagus spears with a very thin layer of rice and top with the remaining 2 asparagus spears, cut-side down. Fill the remaining surface of nori that the tree is sitting on with rice.

Then, using the sushi mat, wrap the rice and nori around the cucumber to seal. Slice the roll in half lengthwise. Turn each half cut-side down and slice in half lengthwise so the entire roll is quartered. Set aside. Place a 4-by-7-inch sheet of nori onto the sushi mat and top with 2 of the quarter rolls on the bottom edge of the sheet, side by side, so the top creates a V shape. Nestle the bottom half of the tamago into the V-shaped opening and set the remaining 2 quarter rolls against the top half. Using the sushi mat, carefully wrap the nori around the cut rolls until sealed.

When the pan is hot add the olive oil and butter and cook until the butter is melted. Add the egg mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the eggs are scrambled but still fairly wet, about 4 minutes. The eggs will cook further in the oven so it is important not to overcook them. Remove from the heat and remove from the pan to stop the cooking. Spread the eggs on the Pizza Dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Scatter the mozzarella cheese and Fontina cheese evenly over the eggs. Return to the oven and cook just until the cheese melts and is bubbly, about 5 minutes.

In a food processor, combine the flour and the salt. Add the oil, the yeast mixture, and the remaining 3/4 cup of water and process until the mixture forms a ball. (The pizza dough can also be made in a mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix on low speed until the mixture comes cleanly away from the sides of the bowl and starts to climb up the dough hook). Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand 2 or 3 minutes longer. The dough should be smooth and firm. Cover the dough with a clean, damp towel and let it rise in a cool spot for about 2 hours. (When ready, the dough will stretch as it is lightly pulled). Divide the dough into 4 balls, about 6 ounces each. Work each ball by pulling down the sides and tucking under the bottom of the ball. Repeat 4 or 5 times. Then on a smooth, unfloured surface, roll the ball under the palm of your hand until the top of the dough is smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let rest 1 hour. At this point, the balls can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days. In a small saucepan, combine the garlic cloves and olive oil and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer until the garlic begins to turn brown, 10 to 15 minutes. (Do not let the garlic get too brown or the oil will have a bitter taste.)

Gradually whisk in the flour and salt until the mixture is smooth. Refrigerate for 1 hour until slightly thickened. Spray an 8-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Place the pan over medium heat. With a small ladle, pour about 3 tablespoons of the batter into the pan. Turn the pan at a 45 degree angle to coat the pan evenly so the batter forms a perfect circle. Cook the crepe only until lightly browned, about 30 seconds. Turn the crepe over with a spatula and cook the other side only until lightly browned, about 30 seconds. Slide the crepe onto a 12-inch platter and continue the process with the remaining batter. Stack the crepes between waxed paper so they don't stick. You can prepare these crepes a day in advance covered in plastic wrap in the refrigerator. No need to reheat the crepes before filling and baking. Make the ricotta filling: In a large bowl, add all the ingredients for the ricotta filling. With a large wooden spoon or spatula, stir all the ingredients until well blended. Store covered in plastic wrap in the refrigerator until ready to use. You can make this filling the day before. Make the marinara sauce: In a large heavy nonreactive saucepan with a lid, heat the olive oil on medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic and cook until fragrant but NOT browned. Add the crushed tomatoes to the pan and crush further with a potato masher. Simmer 30 minutes, slightly covered, on medium-low heat, stirring every so often. Add the parsley, basil leaves and salt and pepper, to taste, and simmer for another 10 minutes until the sauce is slightly reduced. Taste and re-season as necessary. Put it all together: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat the bottom of a 13 by 9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with 1 cup of the prepared marinara sauce. Spoon 3 tablespoons of the prepared ricotta filling 1 inch from the edge of a crepe. Roll evenly into a log, keeping the filling even as you roll. Repeat with the remaining crepes.

Instructions: For the crust: Slice the 2 pastry sheets in half down the middle. Place the halves on 2 baking sheets lined with parchment or baking mats. Preheat the oven to 415 degrees F, then start on the pizza toppings. For the toppings: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter and saute the mushrooms and garlic for 2 minutes. Pour in the wine and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the mushrooms are cooked down and the liquid is mostly gone, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. To build the pizzas: brush a thin layer of olive oil in the center of each puff pastry half, leaving a 1/2-inch border. On each piece of pastry, sprinkle on 1/4 cup of the mozzarella, again so that it covers all but a 1/2-inch border around the pastry. Sprinkle the cooked mushrooms on one piece of pastry. On the second, sprinkle on the halved tomatoes and black olives. On the third, lay the pepperoni slices and sliced pepperoncini. Press the toppings lightly into the cheese. Leave the fourth piece of pastry plain (just cheese). Bake for 15 minutes; the pastry could go crazy and puff up in areas here and there, but don't worry! It'll be fine.

Butter the bottom of an 8 1/2- by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper, then butter and flour the entire pan. Pulse 1 cup of the pistachios and 1/4 cup of the sugar in a food processor until very finely ground. Transfer the pistachio mixture to a large bowl.

Butter a 9-by-5-inch glass loaf pan or an 8-inch square glass baking pan.
Arrange the brioche on a wire rack to dry out. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk until blended. Add the sugar and whisk until smooth. (Whisk really well or you'll get scrambled eggs when placed in the oven.) Add the milk, vanilla and salt and whisk until completely blended. Pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into another bowl. Whisk in the citrus zest.
Place the brioche in the prepared pan, cutting to fit as needed. Pour the custard evenly over the bread, filling the dish to the top. You may not be able to add all of the custard at this point. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes, so that the bread can absorb the custard.
Just before baking, top off the dish with more of the remaining custard if the previous addition has been completely absorbed. Cover the dish with foil and bake until it has just set (no color is necessary), about 1 hour 15 minutes for a loaf pan and 35 to 45 minutes for an 8-inch square pan. To test for doneness, uncover the dish, slip a knife into the center and push the bread aside. If the custard is still very liquid, cover the dish and return the pudding to the oven for another 10 minutes. If only a little liquid remains, the pudding is ready to come out of the oven. The custard will continue to cook after it is removed from the oven and it will set up as it cools.
Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving. You can serve the bread pudding by slicing it and removing each slice with an offset spatula, or by scooping it out with a serving spoon. Divide the bread pudding among plates. Add a scoop of ice cream. Top with Burnt Oranges and drizzle with Caramel Sauce. Top with a dollop of whipped cream.
Preheat the grill to medium. Dust the orange wedges with sugar. Grill until char marks appear, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. In a medium, heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, 1/2 cup water, the corn syrup and salt. (Use a good-size pan because the caramel will boil vigorously and the volume will increase dramatically as soon as the hot cream is added.) Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Let the mixture boil, without stirring, until amber colored. Watch the sugar mixture carefully as it cooks to avoid burning the sugar. From the time the mixture started to boil, it takes over 15 minutes to reach an amber color. Remove from the heat. The mixture will continue to cook off the heat and become darker, so make sure to have the cream close by.
Carefully and slowly add the warm cream to the caramel. The mixture will boil vigorously at first. Let the mixture simmer down and then whisk until smooth. Add the lemon juice and vanilla.
Cut the butter into 1-inch chunks and add to the caramel sauce, one piece at a time, whisking constantly after each addition. Whisk the caramel periodically as it continues to cool. Pour the caramel sauce into an airtight container such as a glass jar and store in the refrigerator. This will keep for up to a month. ","[Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sparkling wine]

Season the vegetables generously with salt and brown until they are very dark and a crud has formed on the bottom of the pan, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Scrape the crud and let it reform. Scrape the crud again and add the tomato paste. Brown the tomato paste for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the wine and scrape the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat if things start to burn. Reduce the mixture by half. Return the short ribs to the pan and add 2 cups water or until the water has just about covered the meat. Add the thyme bundle and bay leaves. Cover the pan and place in the preheated oven for 3 hours. Check periodically during the cooking process and add more water, if needed. Turn the ribs over halfway through the cooking time. Remove the lid during the last 20 minutes of cooking to let things get nice and brown and to let the sauce reduce. When done the meat should be very tender but not falling apart.

1/2 cup grated pecorino
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 1 head escarole, washed, spun dry, cut into bite-size pieces
Pickled Red Onions, recipe follows Kosher salt 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 eggs, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
4 small organic chicken breast halves, butterflied, lightly pounded 1/4-inch thick
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil, for frying
1/2 cup red wine vinegar 2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 to 3 really good shots hot sauce, such as Tabasco 1 red onion, sliced into very thin rings
Instructions: For the escarole salad: Set a small saute pan over medium heat; coat with olive oil. Add the prosciutto, and cook until crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside. Combine the hazelnuts, pecorino and parsley in a food processor; pulse until coarsely chopped. In a bowl, toss together the escarole, hazelnut mixture and some pickled red onions. Dress with some red onion pickling liquid and olive oil. Season with salt, and garnish with crispy prosciutto. For the chicken Milanese: Set up a standard breading station in three wide, deep plates. Fill one plate with the flour, a second with the beaten eggs, and a third with the panko and Parmesan. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt. Using one hand for dry things and one hand for wet things, take each piece of chicken through the breading procedure: Dredge lightly in the flour, then in the egg wash, and then through the breadcrumbs. Lay the breaded chicken on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Pour olive oil into a large saute pan until it reaches a depth of about 1/2 inch--better a little more than a little less. Bring the oil to medium-high heat. Test by flicking flour or breadcrumbs into it; if it doesn't sizzle, WAIT! When the oil is hot, test it again by dipping the edge of a piece of chicken; the oil should sizzle gently. In batches, cook the chicken on both sides until crispy and a lovely golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. (Do not crowd the pan or the chicken will become very greasy and soggy.) When the chicken comes out of the oil, drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. If you like, keep the chicken warm in a low oven while the rest of the chicken is cooking. Place the chicken serving plates and top with escarole salad. In a small bowl, combine the red wine vinegar with 1/2 cup cold tap water. Stir in the salt, sugar and hot sauce. Add the sliced onions, and let sit for at least 1 hour.

Instructions: In a large bowl, whisk together the yeast and 3/4 cup of the flour, then whisk in the warm water until smooth. Let stand uncovered for 10 to 20 minutes, or until it begins to ferment and puff up slightly.
Whisk the 2 eggs, oil, salt, and sugar into the puffed yeast slurry until the eggs are well incorporated and the salt and sugar have dissolved. With your hands or a wooden spoon, stir in the remaining 3 cups flour all at once. When the mixture is a shaggy ball, scrape it out onto your work surface and knead it until smooth and soft, no more than 10 minutes. (Soak your mixing bowl in hot water now to clean it and warm it if you would like to use if for fermenting the dough).
Place the dough in the warm cleaned bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let the dough ferment until it has at least doubled in bulk, about 2 hours, depending on the temperature in your kitchen.
Line a round pizza pan or a large baking sheet with foil and oil it generously, or line it with parchment, which needs no oil.
When the dough has doubled in bulk, it is ready to shape; do not punch it down. Cut the dough into 2 pieces. Roll each piece into a 30-inch strand, then, using a rolling pin, roll each strand into a 30 by 4-inch rectangle. Spoon a heaping line of half the filling down the center of the dough. Pull the long edges up over the filling and pinch them together. Arrange the strands side by side, with the seams down. Beginning in the middle, cross 1 strand over the other, being careful to keep the seams facing down, and continue to cross the strands until you reach their ends. Pinch the ends together. Bring the ends around to form a ring and pinch the ends together.
Carefully pick up the ring, place it seam side down on the prepared pan or sheet, and cover it well with plastic wrap. Let the ring rise until very soft and tripled in size, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, 30 minutes before baking, arrange an oven rack in the lower position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Beat the egg with a pinch of salt for glazing the ring.
When the ring has tripled in size and the dough does not push back when gently pressed with your finger but remains indented, brush it with the egg glaze. Sprinkle it with poppy seeds or sesame seeds, if desired. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until very well browned. After 30 minutes of baking, turn the pan around so that the ring browns evenly. When the ring is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool on a rack.

1 cup heavy cream Instructions: Position the racks to divide the oven into thirds and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter 48 mini-muffin tins. (There is enough batter to make 48 cakes in tins with a 2-tablespoon capacity or 16 cakes in standard muffin tins holding 1/3 cup.)
Working in a medium mixing bowl with a whisk, beat the egg whites just to break them up. Add the ground almonds, sugar, flour and corn syrup and stir until the batter is smooth. (If you'd like, you can cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for as long as overnight.) Put the butter in a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Remove the butter from the heat and stir it into the batter. When the batter is no longer warm, stir in the chocolate chips.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each muffin tin. (If you are using regular-size tins, use about 3 tablespoons of batter for each muffin mold.) Bake the cakes for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden; a knife inserted in the center of the cakes should come out clean. Allow the cakes to cool for 2 or 3 minutes, then turn them out onto racks to cool to room temperature. When the cakes are cool, you can top them with ganache, if you wish. Put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Bring the heavy cream to a boil in a small saucepan. Pour the cream over the chocolate, let rest 30 seconds, then gently stir the cream into the chocolate with a small whisk. (Stir, do not beat -- you don't want to beat air into the ganache.) The ganache is now ready to be used as a dip.
To dip: Place the tiger cakes upside down on a cooling rack. (To protect your counter, put a sheet of parchment or foil under the rack.) One by one, dip the bottoms of the cakes into the ganache, glazing them with ganache to about the half-way point. Return the cakes to the rack to set \u2013 about 1 hour at room temperature or 15 minutes in the refrigerator. Keeping: Tigres will keep in a covered container at room temperature for up to 3 days, although ganache-topped tigres are best eaten the day they are made. Packed airtight, tiger cakes can be frozen for up to 1 month.

Pulse to combine. Pulse, pulse, pulse until the ingredients start to come together and resembles Parmesan. Add the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of water. Pulse a couple of more times until the ingredients start to form a ball. If the mixture is exceedingly wet, add some more flour. Or conversely, if the mix is dry, dry, dry, add in a few more drops of water. When the mixture has come together into a ball, turn it out onto a floured work surface and knead it a couple of times to help it come together. Dust it with flour, form it into a disk and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to use. This can be done a day ahead. Cook's Note: When ready to use the dough, remove it from the refrigerator about 20 minutes before rolling, to allow it to warm up and soften. To make the filling: Coat the bottom of a stock pot lightly with olive oil put over medium heat. Add the onions, celery and the carrots and sprinkle with salt, to taste. Saute the vegetables for 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and sweat for another 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt, then add the chicken and the chicken stock. If the stock doesn't cover the chicken, add water until it does. Bring the stock to a boil, over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. While the chicken is simmering, add the butternut squash to a large bowl, drizzle with some olive oil and add salt, to taste. Toss to coat the squash with the oil and transfer to a baking sheet. Roast until the squash is cooked but still has some texture, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and reserve. Remove the chicken and vegetables from the stock and put into a large bowl. Reserve the stock. When the cool enough to handle, remove the bones from the chicken and stir into the vegetables. Add the roasted squash to the chicken and vegetables. Stir to combine and season with salt, if needed. Stir in the haricots verts and the chopped sage. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat.

Gradually whisk in the reserved chicken stock. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. When the stock is combined into the roux, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until it has a gravy-like consistency, about 20 to 25 minutes. If the gravy reduces too much and becomes too thick, whisk in a little more chicken stock or water. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Add the chicken mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish or 4 individual (2 cup) crocks. Ladle the \gravy\ over the chicken mixture until the dish(s) are 3/4 filled.

" 68237,"Pork Loin alla Focettina 1/4 cup olive oil 5 cloves garlic, peeled Handful fresh rosemary, chopped Handful fresh sage leaves, chopped One 2 1/2-pound pork loin (some fat always helps the sauce) 1 cup dry white wine Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup whole milk Instructions: Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and saute the garlic, rosemary and sage for a couple of minutes. Add the pork loin to the pan, gently sliding it on top of the herbs to prevent the hot oil from jumping onto your skin.
Saute the pork for about 5 minutes on each side, then remove it from the pan and set aside on a plate. Add the wine to the pan and use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan; cook until the smell of the alcohol has disappeared, 1 to 2 minutes.
Lower the flame to a very low-medium heat. Return the pork to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Partially cover with a lid and cook for about 1 1/2 hours, flipping the pork and scraping the bottom of the pan every 15 to 20 minutes. Keep an eye on the sauce, making sure it does not reduce too much; add some warm water if necessary, always in very small increments.
When the pork is ready, remove the pan from the heat and let cool for about 30 minutes. Remove the pork to a cutting board.
When the sauce is cooled, add the milk and put the pan back on the stove. Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring the sauce constantly. This will prevent any curd from forming and will produce a wonderful and soft creamy sauce. Slice the pork and serve with the sauce. ","[Barolo, Barbaresco, Chianti Classico, Rioja]

" 68261,"Basic Roasted Chicken Two 4-to-5 pound chickens (organic and free range if possible) Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper 6 sprigs fresh thyme 4 cloves garlic 2 bay leaves 1 small onion, sliced 1 lemon, quartered Instructions: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Sprinkle the inside of the chickens liberally with salt and pepper. Stuff each bird with 3 sprigs thyme, 2 cloves garlic, the bay leaf, onion and lemon. As the chickens cook, this will help keep them moist and also flavor the bird from the inside.
Using kitchen twine, tie the legs together of each bird, and then tuck the wing tips underneath each body so it cooks evenly. Place the birds on a roasting rack over a roasting tray then sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and roast for 15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 375 degrees F and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the joint between the leg and thigh registers 165 degrees F, approximately 1 hour more. When the chicken is done, the skin will be crispy and golden and the juices of the chicken will run clear. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats. You\u2019ll need 2 wooden spoons with 3/4-inch-thick handles to roll the brandy snaps around. If the handles are too thin, tightly wrap foil around them until they are the right thickness. Combine the butter, granulated sugar, golden syrup and salt in a small saucepan. Heat over medium low, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the sugar is mostly dissolved (it should never come to a simmer), about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly for 2 minutes, then sift the flour and ginger directly into the saucepan through a fine-mesh sieve. Stir until combined and a smooth, fluid paste. Place 5 to 6 separate heaping teaspoons at least 4 inches apart from each other on the prepared baking sheets. Gently spread each mound into an even 2-inch circle with the back of a spoon. Bake one sheet at a time for 6 minutes, then rotate the baking sheet and continue baking until caramel to toffee brown in color, 2 to 3 minutes. (If too pale, the brandy snaps will not get crisp enough.) Let the brandy snaps cool briefly for about 2 minutes on the baking sheet until you can slide a small offset spatula underneath one and lift it off (it should still be warm and flexible). Place on a cutting board rough-side down and roll around the wooden spoon handle, pressing down on the seam to seal. Working quickly, repeat with the remaining brandy snaps, alternating with the 2 wooden spoons and removing the rolled brandy snaps to a rack to cool completely. (If too stiff to roll, return the brandy snaps to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes until flexible again.) Bake and roll the brandy snaps on the second baking sheet, then continue the process of spooning, baking and rolling with the remaining batter, alternating the baking sheets. For the filling: When ready to serve, whip the heavy cream, confectioners\u2019 sugar, brandy if using, and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.

Place the vanilla bean seeds, butter, sugar, egg yolks, and ginger in a medium-size mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on low speed until the ingredients are combined, about 1 minute. Combine the baking powder, salt, cocoa powder and flour and add to the butter mixture all at once. Beat on low speed just until combined, about 1 minute. Do not overmix the dough or it will become tough. Remove the dough from the bowl. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. I baked my cookies in a special flexible baking sheet with dome-shaped cavities. Roll the dough into a rope that is about the same diameter as the cookie mold. Use a knife to cut each piece of dough. Press the dough into the mold. Repeat until all of the cavities are filled. Bake 15 to 20 minutes. To make the chocolate fans: Use an offset spatula to spread a very thin layer of tempered chocolate onto a piece of marble. Use a spatula to clean away chocolate so you are left with a rectangle shape. Let the chocolate set slightly. Place 1 hand on the handle of the cake triangle and rest your thumb on the blade of the triangle. Push the triangle through the chocolate in strips of about 2 inches. Use your thumb to catch 1 side of the chocolate to create small chocolate fans. Pinch the short side to create the handle of the fan. I colored my fans with my airbrush but you could also use a paintbrush. If using an airbrush, place a few drops of color in the airbrush. If using a paintbrush, mix together a few tablespoons of the cocoa butter with a small amount of powdered food color. It will be easier if you use yogurt machine to store and warm your paints. Apply color where you are inspired to do so. When the cookies have cooled, use a sharp knife to cut a wedge from the top of each cookie. Position the chocolate fans on top of each cookie.

Use an ice cream scoop to fill the cupcake liners three-quarters of the way to the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out with a few crumbs sticking to it, 15 to 17 minutes. Allow to cool for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack to finish cooling completely.
For the rum marshmallow filling:\u202fAdd the marshmallow creme to a medium bowl. Stir in the rum until well combined. Transfer the filling to a disposable pastry bag.
For the frosting: Put the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on high speed until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and salt and beat until combined. Add the cocoa powder and beat on low speed until combined. Add half the powdered sugar and half the milk. Beat on low speed until the ingredients are moistened, then turn the mixer to high and beat until well incorporated. Add the remaining powdered sugar and another 2 tablespoons milk; mix on low again until the ingredients are moistened, then turn the mixer to high and beat until fluffy. (This is a thick icing; if you prefer a thinner consistency, add more milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired thickness.)\u202f
Use a paring knife to cut a small plug out of the center of the top of each cupcake, saving the cake plugs. Cut the tip from the pastry bag with the filling and fill the center of each cupcake with a small amount of marshmallow filling.\u202fTrim the bottoms of each cake plug and use to seal the holes in each cupcake.\u202f\u202f
To decorate: Frost each cupcake with the frosting, using an offset spatula to smooth the tops. Arrange the cupcakes next to each other with their edges touching in a 4-by-6 grid on a large cake board or platter.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the green gum paste to about 1/8-inch thick and cut twenty-four 1-inch squares. Place on the lined baking sheet and let dry 15 minutes. Roll out the blue gum paste and cut four 2-inch teardrops; place on the lined baking sheet and let dry for 15 minutes. Repeat with each of the three remaining colors (pink, purple, red) to make a total of 12 more teardrops.
Brush the top of each of the blue teardrops with a\u202fsmall amount of the alcohol, then sprinkle with blue edible glitter. Repeat with each of the colored teardrops, sprinkling each with its coordinating colored glitter. Use a small amount of alcohol to moisten the top half of a green square, then position a teardrop on top, pointy-side out, to look like a small lightbulb on a string of lights. Repeat with the remaining teardrops and squares. Let dry for a few minutes.
Use an offset spatula to place a lightbulb on top of each cupcake, varying the colors and the direction they are pointing throughout the grid of cupcakes. Thread the licorice laces around, looping them and attaching them to lightbulb bases occasionally, to mimic a tangle of holiday lights.

Slice the garlic horizontally, drizzle with olive oil and wrap in tin foil. Place in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Remove, cool and mash the cloves into a paste. While the garlic is cooking, get a small saute pan hot over medium-low heat and toast the cumin seeds for a couple of minutes until fragrant. Then either grind up the toasted cumin in a spice grinder or chop with a knife until fine. Mix the sour cream with the toasted cumin, parsley and the roasted garlic. Reserve. For the latkes: Fill a pot three-quarters of the way up with water and add the potatoes. Bring the water to a boil, and then turn down the heat to a low boil. Boil until the potatoes are completely cooked (a knife slides in very easily), 20 to 30 minutes. While the potatoes are boiling, heat up a pan over medium heat with 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Saute the leeks with the garlic until soft with no color. Season well with salt and pepper, lower the heat to medium-low and cook for another 3 minutes. Then take off the heat. Once the potatoes are ready, place in a large bowl and mix in the sauteed leek mixture, nutmeg, the remaining 5 tablespoons butter and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper, and reserve. Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl or dish and set aside. Add the breadcrumbs and the flour to two separate plates. Season the flour well with salt and pepper. Roll a ball with the potato mixture that easily fits in the palms of your hands, about 2 tablespoons, and flatten slightly to make a patty. You don't want them too thick or too big. Dredge the potato patty with the flour, shaking off the excess. Dunk in the eggs and then coat with the breadcrumbs. Get a large pan hot over medium-high heat, add an inch of canola oil and fry when the temperature reaches 350 degrees F. Remove from oil when the latkes are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.

3 cups cider vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 jalapeno pepper, slit with a paring knife
2 whole Long Island (Pekin) ducks, rinsed, patted dry and trimmed of excess fat Canola oil, for brushing 1/4 cup ancho cl powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 cup thawed frozen apple juice concentrate 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds, toasted and ground
2 cinnamon sticks
2 star anise
1 habanero cl, slit with a paring knife
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup creme fraiche
Zest and juice of 1 lime
24 mini (slider) buns Instructions: For the pickled grilled green onions: Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high for direct grilling. Brush the green onions with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until charred and just wilted, turning once. Combine the vinegar, 3/4 cup water, the sugar, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, the coriander seeds, garlic and jalapeno in a medium nonreactive saucepan, bring to a boil and cook until the sugar has melted. Remove from the heat, transfer to a nonreactive bowl, add the green onions, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days. For the duck sliders: Prepare the Caja China according to the manufacturer's directions. Make some balls out of aluminum foil to prop up the Caja China rack that sits over the drip pan--the rack should be slightly elevated in the drip pan so that the ducks stay above the fat that will render into the pan during the cooking process. Put the rack on the foil in the pan. Brush the ducks on both sides with canola oil and sprinkle with the ancho powder and some salt and pepper. Put the ducks in breast side-down on the rack, put the cover on and put the hot coals on top. Add about a chimney full of cold coals to the hot--they will catch and cook as the hot coals burn. Add more cold coals as needed to keep the fire hot throughout the cooking process. Cook the ducks for 45 minutes. Remove the coals and lid, brush the backs of the ducks with some of the barbecue sauce, flip over, brush the tops with more of the sauce and continue cooking until golden brown and cooked through and the skin is crispy, about 45 minutes more. While the ducks cook, combine the remaining barbecue sauce, the apple juice concentrate, sugar, fennel, cinnamon, star anise and habanero in a medium saucepan and cook until heated through and slightly reduced, about 30 minutes; stir in the cilantro. Remove 1/4 cup of the sauce and set aside until cool enough to add to the creme fraiche. Remove the ducks to a cutting board, let rest for 15 minutes and shred into bite-sized pieces. Put the meat in a bowl and toss with the sauce. Whisk together the creme fraiche, cooled reserved sauce and the lime zest and juice in a medium bowl. To assemble, spread some of the creme fraiche mixture on the top and bottom buns. Mound some of the duck on the bottom of the buns, top with some of the pickled green onions, put the bun tops on top and enjoy.

Position the oven rack in the upper third of the oven. You may to shorten the cooking time slightly if the broiler rack is close to the heat. Quarter the lobsters, removing the tomalley and the roe if present. Place the pieces of lobster, shell side down, on a plate. Place the tomalley and roe in a small bowl. With a fork, break them into small pieces. Cover. Place a heavy 12-inch saute pan over the highest heat possible. Allow the pan to heat for 3 to 5 minutes until it becomes extremely hot. Add the oil and heat until it forms a film on the surface of the pan. Slide the lobster pieces, shell side down, into the hot oil. Using tongs, move the pieces in order to evenly sear all the shells. Because the lobster pieces are not flat, you will need to hold them with the tongs and press the shells into the hot oil to accomplish this. The claws need to be seared on only one side. When the shells have all turned bright red, which should take no longer than 2 minutes, turn the pieces over. The oil will also have taken on a beautiful red tinge. Add the tomalley and roe into the pan. Place the pan in the oven. If using the broiler, cook 2 minutes. If using the oven, cook for 3 minutes. The shells should be slightly browned, even a bit charred in places. Remove the pan from the oven and return it to the stove at maximum heat. Turn off the oven and put your plates in to warm. This will take only a minute. Warning: The handle of the pan will be red hot and will stay hot until the dish is complete. To avoid burns, wear oven mitts from now until the dish is complete.

Swirl or stir the butter into the pan to create a creamy sauce with the pan juices. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Use very little salt, if any, because the lobster adds its own salt.

Throw the flour and 2 teaspoons salt into a sifter and sift them straight into the bowl. Whisk until it's nice and smooth, then refrigerate until the prime rib is ready. After the beef is removed from the pan, increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Use a slotted spoon to remove the peppercorns, herbs and excess salt from the drippings. Pour the remaining drippings into a separate container. They should be speckled and lovely! Pour a small amount (about 1/2 teaspoon or so) of the drippings into each cup of a standard muffin pan and place the pan in the hot oven for a couple of minutes, or until just before the drippings begin to smoke. Carefully remove the pan from the oven and immediately fill the muffin cups about 1/2 to 2/3 full. Bake 13 to 14 minutes, or until they've \popped\ about as much as they can pop. Serve them in a basket with a pretty napkin right next to the prime rib. Move the oven rack to the bottom and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F, then start with the seasoning: Grab the peppercorns and throw them in a big plastic bag and pound them with a rolling pin to break them open. Pull the leaves off the rosemary and thyme sprigs. Throw the crushed peppercorns into a bowl with the salt and herb leaves and add the minced garlic. Use your fingers to toss it all together, then set it aside. Place the beef, fat-side up, on a rack in a roasting pan. Drizzle the olive oil all over the surface and rub it in with your hands. Sprinkle the peppercorn-herb-salt mixture all over the surface of the beef, pressing it lightly with your hands. Roast the beef 45 minutes for the first stage. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F and insert a meat thermometer sideways into the roast. Roast the beef an additional 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the thermometer registers 120 degrees F to 135 degrees F in the center for medium rare. (The meat will continue to cook for a bit after you remove it from the oven.) Remove the beef from the rack and let it rest about 15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon instant yeast 2 teaspoons fine sea salt 1 3/4 cups whole milk, at room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs, at room temperature
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, at room temperature, plus more for greasing the baking pan

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
Crumble, frozen, recipe follows 2 cups confectioners' sugar 1/4 cup whole milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 cups all-purpose flour 1 pound unsalted butter, melted 1 cup brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions: For the dough: Whisk together the bread flour, mashed potato flakes, granulated sugar, cinnamon, yeast and salt in a large bowl. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, add the milk, vanilla and eggs; whisk to break up the eggs. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until the dough just comes together. Add the butter, one piece at a time, mixing until incorporated. Continue to mix until the dough comes together in a ball. If the dough is sticking a lot to the sides of the bowl, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until most of the dough no longer sticks. (A little sticking to the bottom of the bowl, beneath the hook, is fine. Adding too much flour will make the buns dry, so use a light hand.) Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead by hand until shiny and smooth, 5 to 10 minutes. (The dough should be very soft but not wet and sticky; a little tacky is OK.) Place the dough in a large bowl sprayed with nonstick spray; lightly spray the top of the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm corner of your kitchen until doubled in size, 45 to 60 minutes. For the filling: Stir together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll the dough out into a long rectangle, about 10-by-21 inches. Brush with the melted butter, then sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar, followed by 4 cups of frozen Crumble. Starting from a long side, roll the dough into a jelly roll. Cut the log into 2-inch pieces and place, cut-side down, in a buttered 10-inch square baking pan. Sprinkle 1 cup of Crumble over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until puffy and nearly doubled in volume, 30 to 45 minutes Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the buns, loosely wrapped in foil, for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until golden brown on top, about 5 more minutes. For the glaze: Meanwhile, combine the confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla in a small bowl and stir until smooth. While the buns are still warm (but not hot), drizzle with the glaze. Serve warm. Combine the all-purpose flour, melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and salt in a large bowl.

2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons meringue powder
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Red and green food coloring, for decorating
Instructions: For the gingerbread truffles: Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with plastic wrap to extend over the sides by several inches. Combine the gingersnap crumbs, butter, brown sugar, molasses and pumpkin pie spice in a food processor and pulse to combine. (You may add a little of the cream to get the mixture more malleable.) Spread the mixture into the baking pan, cover with the overhanging plastic wrap and press it smooth with your hands. Refrigerate 4 hours. For coating and decorating the truffles: Set a wire rack over a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using the plastic overhang as handles, remove the truffle mixture in one piece. Flip onto your work surface and remove the plastic so the smoothest side faces up. Use a 1 1/2-inch gingerbread person cutter to cut out 12 gingerbread men. (After cutting the gingerbread men, you may roll the extra truffle mixture into balls for round truffles, if desired.) Place the gingerbread men (and truffle balls, if making) on the rack and place in the freezer while you melt the chocolate. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a medium bowl at 50 percent power in the microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring after each, until completely smooth, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes total. Allow the chocolate to cool 20 minutes. Put a gingerbread man, smooth-side up, on a fork, and spoon the chocolate over, lightly tapping the fork to let the excess drip back into the bowl to achieve a smooth coating of chocolate. Return the gingerbread person to the rack and repeat with the remaining men (and truffle balls, if desired). Refrigerate while you prepare the royal icing for decoration. For the royal icing, combine the confectioners' sugar and meringue powder in an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk to combine. With the mixer on low speed, add the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water and mix until smooth, then scrape down the sides of the bowl and add about 1 tablespoon more water, a little at a time, to make an icing that drizzles slowly from a spoon dipped into the bowl. Increase the speed to high and beat until the icing is very smooth, about 1 minute. Spoon a third of the icing into a pastry bag fitted with a small plain tip. (Alternatively, transfer to a resealable plastic bag and snip off a corner.) Divide the rest of the icing between 2 small bowls, using food coloring to color one red and one green. Transfer the icing to 2 more piping bags, fitted with small plain tips (#3 or #4) or resealable plastic bags. (You will have icing left over.) Decorate the gingerbread men (and truffle balls, if desired) with the royal icing. Refrigerate until ready to serve. ","[Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Sparkling wine]

On a stable surface, cut the chicken with a sharp knife into 8 pieces, plus the backbone. Season all the pieces with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate all but the backbone. In a large saucepan or small stockpot over high heat, add 1 tablespoon of garlic oil and, when hot, add in the seasoned chicken backbone. Brown for 4 to 5 minutes, then add in the reserved garlic cloves, thyme, and the cut vegetables. Turn the backbone over and continue to cook until well browned, an additional 5 minutes. (Guy's tip: for easy removal when making gravy later, tie the garlic cloves in cheesecloth before adding to the pot). Deglaze the pan with a little of the stock to loosen the fond from the bottom of the pan, and add the remaining stock and the water. Bring to a strong simmer and let cook for 45 minutes. Strain the solids but reserve the garlic cloves in a bowl. Let sit and skim the fat from the top. Set aside. You should have about 3 cups. This can be prepared ahead. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. In a large, deep-sided pan over high heat, add 1/4 cup of the garlic oil. When it just starts to smoke, add the sliced garlic cloves and cook until just crisp and light golden brown, 30 seconds. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with a touch of salt. Add in the chicken and carefully brown the pieces, turning as needed, and getting a nice even dark golden brown on all sides. As the pieces finish, remove to a baking sheet and hold warm in the oven. Drain the excess fat from the pan the chicken was cooked in and set heat at medium-high. Add in the remaining 1/4 cup garlic oil and the flour and stir constantly until a paste forms. Allow the roux to cook for 1 to 2 minutes, with continued stirring, and then slowly whisk in the stock. Add about 1/2 cup at a time and continue to incorporate. Reduce the heat to low once the mixture has thickened and then add in the reserved cooked garlic cloves. Whisk these into the roux, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed, and hold warm until service over low heat. Place 1/2 cup of the garlic gravy on a plate and position a couple pieces of chicken on top. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the gravy on top of the chicken and garnish with the parsley, diced tomatoes, and the fried garlic slices. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add half of the oil and all of the garlic. Heat through and cook for 10 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed. Allow to cool to room temperature. In a 16-ounce clean glass jar, add the prepared garlic and the remaining oil. Cover and refrigerate. Use within 2 to 3 weeks. Guy's Tips: Use a good quality olive oil in this, but not extra-virgin. You want an olive oil that can withstand some heat, as you will soon be cooking everything with this oil! Find the freshest, firmest, whitest garlic bulbs you can find. Gently break apart the bulb, and then carefully trim the stem end from each clove and peel the skins. Be picky, use the biggest ones and leave the smaller ones for another recipe. Use the oil for cooking, use the garlic for everything. Once the garlic is depleted, start over.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Add olive oil to a large, straight-sided saute pan until it reaches a depth of 1/2-inch and bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Brown the chicken rolls on all sides. When the chicken is brown, remove from the pan and blot on paper towels. Transfer the rolls to a sheet tray and place in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes. For the sauce: Add a few drops of oil to a saute pan and add the shallots. Sprinkle with salt and bring the pan to a medium heat. Cook the shallots for 3 to 4 minutes and then add the sherry vinegar. Reduce the vinegar by half. Add half the chicken stock, season with salt and bring it to a boil. When the stock has reduced by half, add the remaining stock and reduce by half again. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed (it probably will). Turn the heat to medium and swirl in 1 pat of butter at a time. Remove the chicken from the oven, slice each roll into 4 or 5 slices, plate and spoon the sauce over. Wine Pairing Suggestion: Albarino (Spanish wine goes with the Spanish ingredients).

5 cups Dashi, recipe follows 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons sake, optional 1 to 1 1/2 cups ponzu sauce, for serving
3 scallions, thinly sliced
Shichimi togarashi, for serving, optional Two 4-inch-square pieces kombu (dried kelp; about 20 grams) 1 1/2 packed cups katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes; about 30 grams)
Instructions: Lay a large cabbage leaf on a work surface, curve-side up, and cover with pork belly slices. If the slices are long, 2 slices should be enough. Don\u2019t worry about covering every bit of the cabbage (see Cook's Note). Lay another large cabbage leaf on top of the pork, curve-side up, and cover with pork belly slices. Repeat the process 4 more times to form 1 stack of 6 cabbage leaves layered with pork.
Make more stacks of 6 leaves layered with pork until you\u2019ve used up all the pork. If you run out of larger leaves, piece together smaller leaves of cabbage as needed and stack with the remaining pork. Reserve any remaining smaller pieces of cabbage in case they are needed to pack the center of the pot.
Carefully cut each stack crosswise into 3 equal sections, gently holding the layers together as you cut.
Working one section at a time, place the section cut-side up and bottom-side out against the side of a 10-inch-wide, 6-quart Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot. Place another section right next to the first in the same manner. Repeat, packing the sections tightly (see Cook\u2019s Note), until the circle is complete.
Continue arranging the sections in the pot, packing them tightly, until full. Place the reserved smaller cabbage leaves in any empty spaces in the center, trimming them as needed.
Whisk the dashi, soy sauce and salt in a large bowl until the salt dissolves and pour into the pot. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook until the pork belly is cooked through and the cabbage is just tender, skimming off any foam and impurities, 6 to 10 minutes. Gently stir in the sake if using.
Pour 1/4 cup of ponzu sauce into 4 or 6 small bowls (depending on the number of diners) and top each one with the scallions. Serve the nabe in shallow bowls and sprinkle with shichimi togarashi if using. Alternatively, set the pot on the table and allow everyone to help themselves.
Combine the kombu with 6 cups cold water in a medium saucepan and let steep for about 30 minutes. (Skip this step if you are short on time though it lend a deeper flavor.) Heat over medium heat until the water comes to a near boil, about 10 minutes. Discard the kombu. Sprinkle the katsuobushi evenly over the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Immediately remove from the heat and let steep without stirring for about 10 minutes.
Pour the dashi through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl. Do not press down on the katsuobushi which can make the dashi cloudy and/or bitter.
Dashi is best used the day it is made but can be cooled and refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

25 grams (2 tablespoons) vegetable shortening 25 grams (2 tablespoons) superfine sugar, plus more for sprinkling Pinch salt
50 milliliters (3 tablespoons) ice water
2 to 3 tablespoons raspberry jam 1 egg, whisked Instructions: For the pie dough: Place the flour, butter, shortening, sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl. Rub the mixture between your fingers and thumbs repeatedly until the lumps of butter are much smaller and the entire mixture has a breadcrumb-like texture. This should take 2 to 3 minutes. Next, slowly pour in the ice water (you may not need all of it), mixing it into the dough with your hands as you pour. Add just enough water to the point where all the flour on the bottom of the bowl has been absorbed, the dough has formed into a rough ball and the bowl appears clean. Once you've incorporated the water, place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it with your hands 2 to 3 times; gently shape into a flat disc. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and allow to chill in the fridge for 1 hour. The dough can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Once the dough has chilled, place it onto a lightly floured work surface. With a rolling pin, roll the dough out evenly until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 16 discs of dough. If you do not have enough dough to cut 16, simply re-roll the scraps of dough and cut out the remaining discs. Place the discs onto the prepared baking sheet. For the filling: Use a small heart-shaped cookie cutter (roughly 1/4 inch wide, but you can make the hearts as big as you want!) to cut hearts out of the center of 8 of the discs. On each of the remaining 8 discs, place 3/4 teaspoon of jam in the middle and lightly egg wash the edges with a pastry brush. Place a 5-inch lollipop stick into the center of each jam disc. Place a heart disc of dough on top of a jam-covered disc. Gently press the discs together at the edges, sealing them against the egg-washed edge. Using a spare lollipop stick, seal the 2 pieces of dough together by pressing the edge of the lollipop stick into the dough to create a small indentation of the stick all the way around the outside of the disc. Repeat with the remaining discs. Lightly egg wash the top of the discs, then sprinkle a pinch of sugar over the top of each. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. To serve, place a Styrofoam ball into the bottom of a flower pot or vase. Using a skewer, gently pierce a hole in the ball, then take a cooled pie pop and push the lollipop stick into the hole you just created.

Add the celery and onion and cook, stirring often, until softened but not brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with the sage, bouillon cubes and 1 teaspoon pepper and stir in 1/4 cup water. Cook, stirring often, until the bouillon is dissolved and has coated all the vegetables and the water has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, whisk the flour, yeast and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the dough hook on low speed, stir in the warm water and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, mixing until the flour is completely moistened. Let stand 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons kosher salt and knead on medium speed for 5 minutes. (The dough will tighten up, then begin to relax. After 5 minutes, it will be very wet and stick to the bottom of the mixer but not the sides.) With the mixer on low, add the cooled vegetables and the parsley. Rub 2 tablespoons olive oil around the bottom and sides of a large mixing bowl (big enough to hold at least double the volume of the dough). Using a scraper or spatula, transfer the dough to the bowl, flipping once to coat completely with oil. Cover with a plate and let sit until doubled in size, about 2 hours. Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with the back of a spoon, until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool to room temperature. Pour the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil into the bottom of an 18-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet. Use your hands to evenly distribute the oil along the bottom and up the sides. Scrape the dough into the baking sheet, flattening it slightly with your hands. Flip the dough once and gently stretch it to fit into an even layer in the baking sheet. (The dough may not stretch to the edges at this point. If it starts to pull back, let rest 10 minutes and re-stretch, making sure to pull from the center as well as the edges to get an even thickness.) Top evenly with the sausage and use your fingertips to make dimples over the surface of the focaccia, pressing firmly but not so hard you make holes in the dough. For the brine and finish: Dissolve 1 teaspoon kosher salt in 1/4 cup warm water. Drizzle over the surface of the focaccia, letting it pool in the dimples. Cover with an inverted baking sheet or cover loosely with plastic wrap that has been lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Let sit in a warm place for 45 minutes to relax and rise again. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Uncover the dough and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Bake, rotating the baking sheet once halfway through, until the focaccia is deep golden brown on the top and bottom, 30 to 35 minutes. Drizzle with the olive oil and let sit for 5 minutes.

3 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 cup dry white wine or dry white vermouth 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar 3/4 cup chicken stock, homemade or store bought 2 1/2 pounds boneless pork sirloin chops (1/2-inch thick) 1 to 3 small pickled hot cherry peppers, with juice to taste Instructions: Frying the sausage: Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large deep skillet or shallow braising pan (12-inch) over medium heat. Add the sausage and fry, stirring often, until browned on most sides, 6 to 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
The aromatics and braising liquid: Pour off and discard the fat from the pan. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and heat over medium heat. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper and saute, stirring, until the onion begins to soften and brown on the edges, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, stir and saute for another minute, until fragrant. Add the white wine, stir and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, and boil until the wine is reduced by about half, about 4 minutes. Add the vinegar, stir, and boil for a minute or two. Add the stock and bring to a simmer.
The braise: Season the pork all over with salt and pepper. Add the chops to the skillet, and immediately reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. One by one, tear the peppers into small pieces, discard the seeds and stems, and adding the pieces to the skillet. (I like to hold them over the skillet while I tear them so that the juices fall directly into the pan. The only trouble with this approach is that a few errant seeds will fall in too, making the dish spicier still. If you'd prefer to minimize the peppers' heat, tear them over a cutting board so that any juices drip onto the board, then scrape every last seed to the side, and add the peppers and as much of the juices as you like to the skillet.) Cover the skillet and braise the pork quietly, checking after 5 minutes to see that the liquid is not simmering too furiously. If it is, lower the heat or set a heat diffuser beneath the pan. After 20 minutes, turn the pork with tongs. Continue to braise at a gentle simmer until the pork is fork-tender, about 40 minutes total.
The finish: Transfer the chops to a platter or plates and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Bring the cooking juices to a boil over medium-high heat. Skim any surface fat with a large spoon. Boil until the juices are tasty and slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Lower the heat to a simmer, add the sausage to the sauce, and simmer for about 3 minutes to heat through.

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. Cut a piece of 2 colors. Make into 2 big cigars. Combine the 2 colors by twisting them around each other. Roll to a thickness of about 1/2-inch. Use the scissors to cut the pieces of candy from the end. Cut a 1/2-inch piece, give the roll a half turn, cut again and continue until you've used the whole roll.

1 cup halved cherry tomatoes (about 1 pint) 1/2 cup white wine 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth 1/4 cup packed fresh parsley leaves, roughly chopped Instructions: Drain the potatoes. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot, about 2 minutes. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to become tender and are just beginning to brown around the edges, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the pork chops with salt and pepper. Move the potatoes to the far edge of the pan, leaving a space to brown the pork chops. Add the pork chops to the pan and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. As the pork chops cook, give the potatoes an occasional stir so they continue to brown evenly. Place the pork chops on top of the potatoes, shingling them to leave as much room in the pan as possible. Reduce the heat to low and add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the bare area of the pan. Add the olives, capers, garlic and thyme and cook, stirring continuously, until fragrant and golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium, add the tomatoes and wine and cook until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes, then stir in the chicken broth. Put the pork chops in the sauce and carefully nestle the potatoes around them. Cook 3 to 5 minutes more until the pork chops register 145 degrees F in the center on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the pork chops from the sauce and transfer to shallow bowls or a serving platter. Taste the sauce and season with additional salt and pepper if needed. If most of the liquid in the pan evaporates while you are cooking the pork, stir in tablespoons of water at a time to get it back to a saucy consistency. If the sauce is a little thin and weak, after you take the chops out, turn the heat up and cook 1 to 2 minutes more to thicken and concentrate the flavors.

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 red bell peppers, cored and cut into 1/2-inch strips
2 yellow bell peppers, cored and cut into 1/2-inch strips
3 medium red onions, cut into 1/2-inch rounds 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
1 to 2 tablespoons canola oil, for oiling the grill 2 pounds pre-sliced mozzarella cheese 1 to 2 tablespoons canola oil, for oiling the grill
2 cups arugula leaves, lightly chopped Zest from 1 large lemon 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese Instructions: The yeast: For the pizza dough, combine the yeast and warm water in a bowl of an electric mixed fitted with the paddle attachment. Stir to dissolve the yeast and allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes. The dough: Using a sieve or strainer, sift about half of the flour over the yeast mixture and blend on low speed for 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, the salt, vinegar, honey and remaining flour and mix to blend. With the mixer on medium low, mix the dough 5 to 7 minutes until it becomes a smooth ball in the bowl.
Rest: Lightly oil a bowl with the remaining olive oil and place the dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place until it has doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
The pizza rounds: Press gently on the dough and turn it onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 4 pieces, rolling each into a loose ball. Cover with a kitchen towel and allow the dough to rest for an additional 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Flatten each ball, then roll and gently stretch into an 8-inch round. Place each round on a pizza peel or the bottom side of a floured baking sheet.
Prebake: Place the pizza rounds on the center racks of the oven and bake until they become firm and rigid, about 5 minutes.
The tomato sauce: In a medium skillet, warm the olive oil, garlic and tomato paste over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, almost frying the paste. Add 1/2 cup water and let the tomato paste get hot and the garlic soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cream, season with salt, stir and shut off the heat.
Get ready: Preheat the grill on high.
The vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, red and yellow peppers, onions and red pepper flakes with a generous pinch salt.
Grill: Lightly oil a kitchen towel with canola oil and oil the grill. Arrange the vegetables on the grill and char on all sides until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the grill.
The pizzas: Arrange each prebaked pizza round on the bottom of a baking sheet fitted with parchment paper or on a floured pizza peel. Arrange a quarter of the mozzarella and spoon a quarter of the sauce in a single layer on each of the pizza rounds. Leave a 1-inch edge (the crust) all around without sauce. Top with the vegetables.
Grill: Lightly oil a kitchen towel with canola oil and oil the grill so the pizza won\u2019t stick. Slide the pizzas off the baking sheets right on to a hot (but not the hottest) part of the grill. Close the lid and cook 2 to 3 minutes to allow the dough to finish cooking and the cheese to melt. Move the pizzas gently to a less hot area and cook until browned, an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
Finish: Transfer the pizza rounds to a serving platter. Top with the arugula leaves, lemon zest and Parmesan.

You can mold chocolate in almost anything but not all molds are filled the same way. For the techniques demonstrated in this recipe, I used plastic eggs of various sizes. You can buy the ones filled with Easter candy and, if necessary, cut them in half. Keep in mind that the temperature in your kitchen will affect the speed at which the chocolate sets. Also, if you want to use a silk screen, you'll need to have it made at a local art store before you begin the process. You can use store-bought candies to decorate your eggs. The children will have fun with that! To make the medallion, I started with a little of the same chocolate plastic that we used to make the flowers in the previous recipe. Use a rolling pin to roll out one color of chocolate plastic using cornstarch to \flour\ the work surface. The rolled chocolate should be about 1/8-inch thick. When using a silk screen, it will be easier if you cut the medallion after you have transferred the design to it. Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler. Hold the silk screen over the rolled out chocolate. Use a plastic scraper with a straight edge. Apply about a teaspoon of chocolate to the scraper and gently pull the chocolate across the design. Carefully lift off the silkscreen. It will dry almost immediately. Use a paring knife Before you begin the next step, you have to decide if you would like to color the chocolate for the egg. If you do, be sure to use powdered food coloring or the chocolate will seize. Add the color slowly and sparingly until you have the desired color. Don't forget to save some melted chocolate uncolored so you can use it to finish the decoration. Place the medallion design side down inside one of the egg halves. Use a very clean and dry pastry brush to coat the inside of a mold with chocolate. The pastry brush must be clean and dry. Dip the brush in the chocolate so it permeates the bristles and brings them to the temperature of the chocolate. This tempers the brush so the chocolate will not set on the bristles while you are coating the mold. Apply a total of 3 layers of chocolate, allowing each to set almost completely before applying the next layer. These layers will make the molded chocolate thick enough to handle without breaking easily. When each layer is almost set, use a paring knife to scrape the edge of the mold clean. This will make it easier to unmold the egg. Placing the coated mold in the refrigerator will help the chocolate to harden. If the chocolate is properly tempered, you should be able to lift it from the egg mold. Use some melted chocolate to \glue\ the 2 halves together. If you place the pieces in the refrigerator first, the egg will set faster, as the cold chocolate will cause the chocolate \glue\ to harden and set quickly. Make a cornet and fill it with tempered white chocolate. Use it to draw decorations on the outside of the egg. I added decorating cake gems that resembled pearls to finish my Faberge egg. Tip: It is easier to work with more chocolate than you need. A larger amount will hold its temper longer. You can allow any leftover chocolate to harden. Wrap it well and store at room temperature. You can melt it again for your next project. Work in glass bowls. Then, if needed, you can use the microwave to melt the chocolate. Variation: When I have a really large mold, I like to create the illusion of texture to lighten the overall effect. Marbleizing chocolate is a simple way to do this. Start by drizzling both white and dark chocolate in the bottom of the mold. Dip your clean, dry fingers in the bowl of tempered dark chocolate and use them to spread the chocolate over the drizzles to create a marbled effect. Dipping your fingers in chocolate coats them and adds a thin layer of chocolate to the mold, which makes it easier to create the marble pattern. When the mold is marbleized, use a ladle to add just enough dark chocolate to coat the sides completely. Empty any excess into the bowl of chocolate and invert the mold over the wire rack to drain further. Once the chocolate starts to harden, about 5 minutes, scrape the edge of the mold clean with a paring knife. When the chocolate is completely set, you should be able to gently slide the shell out of the mold by pushing on one side. The mold can be placed in the refrigerator to help the chocolate to harden. If you are using a clear plastic mold, you will be able to see the chocolate is ready to be unmolded when it automatically pulls away from the sides of the mold.

2 medium russet potatoes, boiled and cooled
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon ground coriander (freshly ground is best)
1/4 teaspoon red cl powder
2 large Roma tomatoes, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 (or 2, if you like it spicy!) small Indian green cl or serrano cl, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more if needed
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (stems and leaves)
4 hamburger buns (preferably Martin's potato rolls or other potato rolls) Salted butter, for bun-buttering
1/2 medium red onion, finely diced
Lime juice, plus wedges for serving
Instructions: Make the bhaji (vegetables): In a small pot, combine the cauliflower, peas, and 3 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-high, cover, and cook until the cauliflower is soft and fork-tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Thoroughly drain, then return the vegetables to the pot and use a potato masher or fork to lightly mash them (they should still be chunky, just more incorporated). Set aside. Peel the potatoes, put them in a bowl, and use the potato masher or fork to mash them (don't worry if there are still a few small lumps). Set aside. In a medium pan over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Once the oil begins to shimmer, swirl in the turmeric. Add the coriander, red cl powder, and tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes have started to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add 2 tablespoons water and the green cl, and simmer for about 4 minutes, using a spoon or spatula to mash the tomatoes into a chunky sauce as they cook. Add the mashed potatoes, the cauliflower-pea mixture, the salt, and 1/4 cup water. Increase the heat to medium-low and cook until the mixture starts to resemble a thick stew, 5 to 7 minutes. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if it's looking too dry. Taste and adjust the salt if needed. Stir in the cilantro, turn off the heat, and transfer the bhaji to a bowl. Wipe out the pan. Make the pav: Split each bun in half and butter each side. Warm the pan you used for the bhaji over high heat and toast the buns in the pan, buttered-side down, until golden brown, about 1 minute. Assemble the pav bhaji: Evenly portion the bhaji on each bun half (like an open-faced sandwich) and top each with a tablespoon of diced onion plus a generous squeeze of lime juice. Serve with remaining onion and lime wedges alongside.

After brushing, run an oiled towel over the grates to pick up any loosened crud or soot. Drizzle each fig half with vinegar and fill each fig center with goat cheese. Sprinkle a couple flakes of crushed red pepper, if using, on top of the goat cheese and wrap each fig with a slice of prosciutto. Paint the outside of each fig very lightly with olive oil. Put the figs on a cooler spot of the preheated grill. The idea here is that we want to grill the figs gently to cook the fig all the way through but to still get the char on the outside. Grill the figs on all sides so the prosciutto is starting to become crispy and the fig feels soft when squeezed, about 5 to 6 minutes. While the figs are grilling, in a large bowl, toss the arugula with a little extra-virgin olive oil, some balsamic vinegar and the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Taste, and add salt, if needed.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Using your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles yellow corn meal mixed with bean sized bits of butter. (If the flour/butter mixture gets warm, refrigerate it for 10 minutes before proceeding.) Add the egg and stir the dough together with a fork or by hand in the bowl. If the dough is dry, sprinkle up to a tablespoon more of cold water over the mixture. Make the dough in a food processor. With the machine fitted with the metal blade, pulse the flour, sugar, and salt until combined. Add the butter and pulse until it resembles yellow corn meal mixed with bean size bits of butter, about 10 times. Add the egg and pulse 1 to 2 times; don't let the dough form into a ball in the machine. (If the dough is very dry add up to a tablespoon more of cold water.) Remove the bowl from the machine, remove the blade, and bring the dough together by hand. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour. Make the filling. Put the lemon juice in a medium bowl. Peel, halve, and core the apples. Cut each half into 4 wedges. Toss the apple with the lemon juice. Add the sugar and toss to combine evenly. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the apples, and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer, about 2 minutes. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the apples soften and release most of their juices, about 7 minutes. Strain the apples in a colander over a medium bowl to catch all the juice. Shake the colander to get as much liquid as possible. Return the juices to the skillet, and simmer over medium heat until thickened and lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. In a medium bowl, toss the apples with the reduced juice and spices. Set aside to cool completely. (This filling can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated or frozen for up to 6 months.) Cut the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half of dough into a disc about 11 to 12 inches wide.

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan 18 ounces full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons (232.5 grams) granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons buttermilk powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt 3 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks, at room temperature 1/3 cup heavy cream 3 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa
1 1/2 tablespoons red food coloring
6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature 4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 cup heavy cream 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Chocolate curls, for garnish
Instructions: For crust: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Combine the cookie crumbs, butter, light brown sugar and salt in a mixing bowl until sandy. Lightly spray six 3-inch round mini-cheesecake molds with nonstick spray. Portion out 2 tablespoons of crumb crust into each mold and press flat (the lid of the nonstick spray works great here! Just wipe it clean).
Bake for 8 minutes, then allow to cool while filling is prepared.
For the custard: Place a cake pan filled with 1 inch of hot water in the lowest rack of the oven. Whip the cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until smooth, for 1 minute. Add the granulated sugar, buttermilk powder, vanilla and salt, and blend on low speed for 1 minute. Use a spatula to scrape the bowl and paddle thoroughly. Blend until completely smooth for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk the eggs and egg yolks in a bowl until smooth. Add the eggs to the cream cheese in three additions, allowing each addition to combine before adding the next. Give the bowl and paddle another scrape. Warm the cream in the microwave until steaming, about 1 minute. Whisk in the cocoa and red food coloring until smooth. With the mixer on low, add the chocolate and cream mixture and blend just until combined. Divide the custard evenly among the 12 molds, filling each to about 1/4-inch from the top.

(If frozen, let thaw in the refrigerator, 3 to 4 hours. or on the countertop for 1 to 2 hours. If time demands, you can thaw on the countertop. If time demands you can thaw on the countertop 1 to 2 hours, but be careful not let it sit too long before you begin working with it, as a cold cake is easier to cut.) Clear a space in the refrigerator large enough for the cake on a cake board. The mousse cake will need several hours to set up. If making the Coconut Simple Syrup now, let cool to room temperature. Make the Coconut Mousse as directed, allowing time for the gelatin-sugar mixture to cool before finishing. Set a revolving cake stand on a clean, dry work surface and place the cake, top-side up, on the stand. Using a serrated knife and holding the blade perfectly horizontal, remove any curve from the top of the cake to level it. While you saw gently with the knife, use your other hand to rotate the stand gradually and bring the cake toward you. Get eye level to the cake as needed to make sure you are holding the knife exactly level. Repeat to split the cake into three or four equal layers. Arrange all the cake layers on the work surface. Using your hands, tap off and brush away excess crumbs. Turn the original bottom layer flat-dark-side, or pan-side, up; reserve this to be the top layer of the assembled cake. Using a pastry brush, brush the top of each layer with an ample amount of the coconut syrup. Line a clean 6-by-3-inch cake pan with plastic wrap, leaving about 3 inches of overhang all around the sides to use later as a handle. Take up the original top of the cake, which you leveled, to be the bottom layer of the assembled cake. Place the first layer of cake, syrup-side up, in the lined pan. Scoop 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the mousse on top of the cake layer and use an offset spatula to level it. Top with the second layer of cake, syrup-side up, and press down lightly to seal and secure. Add another layer of mousse. Repeat with the third layer if making a four-layer cake. Place the reserved top piece, flat-dark-side up, on top. Cover with plastic wrap and carefully transfer the cake to the refrigerator. Let set for at least 3 hours and up to 2 days. To unmold the mousse cake, wrap a hot towel around the pan for 1 minute and gently shake to loosen the cake. Invert the pan onto a cake board on a clean work surface, then gently lift the pan off. If it resists, give a little tug on the plastic-wrap \handle.\ When the pan is off, peel the plastic-wrap lining from the cake. Transfer the cake on its board onto the revolving cake stand, with a nonslip pad or damp paper towel underneath. This cake requires only one coat of icing. Using the offset spatula, smear a generous scoop of the icing on one side of the cake. Keeping the spatula in front of you, rotate the cake stand to spread the icing in a smooth coat about 1 inch thick. (It needs to be thick enough to hide the sides of the cake, but not drooping down the sides.) Add more icing as you go, but do NOT back track! The icing will be covered with coconut, so it is not important for it to be perfect; however, you want the cake layers aligned perfectly and the coat of icing to be straight up and down on all sides, as well as crumb free and smooth. As you frost the sides, push the icing up over the top edge of the cake to make sure the coverage is complete, then use this excess to frost the top, using the spatula to pull the icing across the cake toward the center. There should be enough icing from the sides to cover the top, but if necessary, add another small scoop. Using a cupped hand, apply the dried coconut to the sides and top of the cake, pressing gently to help it adhere. Very carefully transfer the cake on the board to a presentation platter. Gather up any excess coconut and press it onto the cake, or reserve for another use. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Stir 1/2 cup coconut milk into 1/2 cup Simple Syrup. Store tightly sealed in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

Dust the dough and a work surface with flour. Roll the dough about 1/4-inch thick. Cut into desired shapes. Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
Position racks evenly in the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
Bake until a rich tawny brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a rack.
Combine all the ingredients, except the food coloring, in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix slowly until stiff enough to form peaks. The icing should be pure white and thick, but not fluffy and bubbly. If the frosting is overbeaten, it will get aerated which makes it harder to work with. If this happens, let the icing sit to settle, then use a rubber spatula to vigorously beat and smooth it out.
Alternatively, combine ingredients in a large bowl, and beat with hand beaters on low speed until the frosting thickens to stiff peaks.
Add up to 1 tablespoon food coloring and mix with a rubber spatula until the color is uniform. (Adding too much color reduces the sheen of the frosting and can break down the consistency of the frosting over a couple of days.)

","[Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Riesling]" 68645,"The Ultimate Caramel Apple Pie 3 cups all-purpose flour Pinch salt 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold, cut in chunks 1 egg separated, (yolks for the pastry, whites for the glaze) 3 tablespoons ice water, plus more if needed 1 cup sugar, plus 1/4 cup for the top 3 tablespoons water 1/4 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup red wine 1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped 1 lemon, halved 8 apples (recommended: Granny Smith and Gala) 1 tablespoon flour 1 cinnamon stick, freshly grated 1/4 cup unsalted butter Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. To make the pastry, combine the flour and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in the chunks of cold butter with a pastry blender, a little at a time, until the dough resembles cornmeal. Add the egg yolk and the ice water, and blend for a second just to pull the dough together and moisten. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and let it rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour. While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. To make the caramel sauce: place the sugar and water in a small pot and cook, without stirring, over medium-low heat until the sugar has melted and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the burner and add the cream and wine slowly. It may bubble and spit, so be careful. When the sauce has calmed down, return it to the flame, add the vanilla bean and heat it slowly, until the wine and caramel are smooth and continue to slowly cook until reduced by half. Remove from the heat and cool until thickened. Fill a large bowl with cold water and squeeze in the lemon juice. Peel the apples with a paring knife, cut them in half, and remove the core with a melon baller. Put the apple halves in the lemon-water (this will keep them from going brown). Toss the apples with the flour and cinnamon. Take the dough out of the refrigerator, unwrap the plastic, and cut the ball in half. Rewrap and return 1 of the balls to the refrigerator, until ready for the top crust. Let the dough rest on the counter for 15 minutes so it will be pliable enough to roll out. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Carefully roll the dough up onto the pin and lay it inside a 10-inch glass pie pan. Press the dough into the pan so it fits tightly. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Slice a couple of the apples at a time using a mandolin or a very sharp knife. The apples need to be thinly sliced so that as the pie bakes, they collapse on top of each other with no air pockets. This makes a dense, meaty apple pie. Cover the bottom of the pastry with a layer of apples, shingling the slices so there are no gaps. Ladle about 2 ounces of the cooled red wine caramel sauce evenly over the apple slices. Repeat the layers, until the pie is slightly overfilled and domed on the top; the apples will shrink down as the pie cooks. Top the apples with pieces of the butter. Now, roll out the other ball of dough just as you did the first. Brush the bottom lip of the pie pastry with a little beaten egg white to form a seal. Place the pastry circle on top of the pie, and using some kitchen scissors, trim off the overhanging excess from around the pie. Crimp the edges of dough together with your fingers to make a tight seal. Cut slits in the top of the pie so steam can escape while baking. Place the pie on a sheet tray and tent it with a piece of aluminum foil, so the crust does not cook faster than the apples. Bake the caramel apple pie for 25 minutes on the middle rack. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar with the freshly grated cinnamon. Remove the foil from the pie and brush the top with the remaining egg white. Sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar and return to the oven. Continue to bake for another 25 minutes, until the pie is golden and bubbling. Let the apple pie rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour to allow the fruit pectin to gel and set; otherwise the pie will fall apart when you cut into it.
