1 teaspoon baking powder Pinch fine salt 1/2 cup whole blanched almonds, toasted 1/2 cup golden raisins 1 tablespoon anise seeds 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar Coffee or Vin Santo, for dipping Instructions: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and granulated sugar and beat, with a whisk or hand mixer, until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides periodically. Add the orange zest and beat in the whole eggs one at a time. Stir in the vanilla. Gently mix in the flour, baking powder and salt. Once the flour is incorporated, fold in the almonds, raisins and anise. Divide the dough into two pieces. If the dough is sticky, dust your hands with a little flour. Roll the dough into two logs the length of a sheet tray and place on the tray. Beat the egg white with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Brush the logs with the egg white and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Bake until dark golden brown, slightly crisp around the edges and still a bit soft in the middle, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven to a cutting board and slice on the bias with a serrated knife while they are still warm. Slicing while warm will prevent crumbling. Lay the biscotti back on the sheet tray(s), cut-sides down, and return to the oven until a little more golden around the edges, another 10 minutes. This will harden the biscotti but not make them like rocks. Remove from the oven to a serving platter and serve with coffee or Vin Santo for dipping. Biscolicious!

Bake until golden brown around the edges and the center feels firm (not spongy) when poked, 40 to 45 minutes. Flip the sheet of crackers over and bake for an additional 5 minutes to crisp the crackers all the way through. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, then break into 2-inch shards.
For the soup: Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
Toss the cauliflower with the paprika, a pinch of salt and black pepper and 2 tablespoons of the oil on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until the cauliflower is caramelized around the edges and tender when pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the turmeric, ginger, white pepper, cinnamon and garlic and stir to combine. Stir in the vegetable broth, coconut milk and roasted cauliflower. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then cover and simmer until the flavors meld, about 5 minutes.

Add 1 tablespoon oil and rub into it. Add water in a stream, first fast then slowly as the flour begins to adhere together. Gather the dough and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes, dusting with flour if it sticks. Brush with oil, cover and let dough rest for 15 minutes. To make the dough in the food processor, place flour and oil in the food processor. With the steel blade attached, machine running, add water in a thin stream through the feed tube. The flour will adhere together into a mass and a dough ball will form on the blades. Process for 1 minute, with on and off motion, to knead the dough. Carefully remove dough to a work surface.
Roll dough into 12-inch long rope and cut into 12 equal parts. Roll each piece of dough into smooth balls. Or, alternatively, pinch off 1-inch round portions of dough from the whole and roll into a smooth ball. Dust the balls lightly to prevent sticking.

One 12-ounce bone-in veal rib chop 5 thin slices fontina cheese (about 1 ounce total)
6 small fresh sage leaves 4 thin slices prosciutto, such as Prosciutto San Daniele
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Optional serving suggestions: Parmesan shavings, fried sage leaves and grilled lemon slices Instructions: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Using a sharp thin knife, cut a slit into the flesh side of the veal chop almost to the bone. With your hand placing pressure on the top of the chop, move the knife in a slicing motion to form a 3-inch pocket in the chop. Cover the chop with a piece of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet or a small heavy skillet, gently pound the chop until it is about 1/3 inch thick. Remove the plastic wrap and discard. Stuff one piece of the fontina cheese into the pocket and close the meat around it. On one side of the chop, place 3 small sage leaves on the meat. Cover the sage leaves with 2 pieces of cheese and follow that with 2 pieces of prosciutto. Turn over the chop and repeat on the other side. Place the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs in 3 separate shallow dishes and season each of them with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Season the flour with the pepper.

Season with a pinch of salt. Make a deep well in the middle of the flour, about 6 inches in diameter. Combine the eggs, egg yolks, olive oil and a pinch of salt together in a mixing bowl and mix well. Slowly add the egg mixture to the well in the flour, using a fork to start grabbing bits of flour from the outside of the well to mix into the egg mixture in the middle. Keep incorporating the sides of the well into the center until a tacky dough ball is formed. Knead the dough ball by hand until all the flour has fully incorporated. Wrap the dough ball well and let rest in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. For the filling: Combine the shrimp, Calabrian chiles, bacon, lemon and pinch of salt in a food processor. Puree for 10 to 15 seconds, then scrape down the sides and add the basil. Puree briefly until combined. Using a pasta roller, roll out the dough into 2 sheets of pasta thin enough to where you can feel your fingers through them (usually a number 5 to 6 on the sheeter setting). Place one sheet of the pasta dough on a well-floured surface. If using a cutter to make ravioli shapes, gently mark on the pasta sheet to see where the filling should be piped. Brush the dough with water. Add dollops of filling spaced out evenly across the middle of the sheet, using the marks as a guide. Gently brush a little bit of water over the second sheet of pasta. Place the sheet, dampened-side down, over the one with the filling, gently lining up the edges. Using your fingers, press and seal around the filling, making the seal as airtight as possible. Use a ring cutter or knife to cut out ravioli. Use your fingers to gently seal the edges and remove any air pockets and transfer the ravioli to a baking sheet sprinkled with semolina. For the sauce: Put a bit of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, garlic and thyme leaves, then add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to soften and burst, 7 to 10 minutes. Move the shallot mixture to one side of the pan, then remove the pan from the heat and deglaze with the vodka. Carefully ignite the vodka, slightly tipping the pan away from you. Once the flame subsides, return to the heat and cook at a simmer until the vodka has been reduced to 1 tablespoon, about 2 minutes. Add the cream, crushed Calabrian chiles, lemon juice and basil leaves and cook until the sauce is thickened and has reduced by about half, about 5 minutes. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and drop the fresh ravioli in. Cook just until it floats, about 1 1/2 minutes. Take the ravioli out of the pot with a skimmer or slotted spoon and place in the saute pan with a splash of pasta water. Toss the sauce and ravioli together over low heat. Using a large spoon, place the ravioli on plates and add more sauce over the top. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan.

1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon lemon extract
Zest of 1 lemon
1 large egg
1 ounce red candy melting wafers 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons unrefined coconut oil
1 ounce pink candy melting wafers
8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup sugar 3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk 3 tablespoons freeze-dried raspberry powder
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Deep pink gel food coloring, for the pudding
1/4 cup raspberry jam
Instructions: For the lemon cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk in the milk, vegetable oil, lemon extract, lemon zest and egg until smooth and combined.
Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 7 to 10 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack, then turn out onto a cutting board. Use a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter to cut 6 circles from the cake (save the scraps for another use); set aside.
For the white chocolate domes: Meanwhile, add the red candy melting wafers and 1 teaspoon of the coconut oil to a small microwave-safe bowl. Add the pink candy melting wafers and 1 teaspoon coconut oil to another small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between each, until the melting wafers and coconut oil are melted and the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer the red mixture to a small piping bag and the pink mixture to a separate small piping bag.
Pipe the red mixture back and forth in thin stripes in the cavities of a silicone half-sphere mold with six 3-ounce cavities. Repeat with the pink mixture, piping back and forth to mingle pink stripes with the red. Freeze until the chocolate is hardened, about 5 minutes.
Add 1 tablespoon coconut oil and 4 ounces of the white chocolate to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until the chocolate and coconut oil are melted and the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute.
Pour the chocolate mixture on top of the set candy in the silicone cavities and tilt the mold to swirl the chocolate around until each half-sphere is coated entirely (you can also use your finger to swirl the chocolate around). Tap out any excess chocolate and freeze until the chocolate is hardened, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining 4 ounces white chocolate and 1 tablespoon coconut oil to create a second white chocolate layer. (Some chocolate may spill over on top of the mold, which is fine; it will break off when you unmold the domes.) Tap out any excess chocolate and freeze until the chocolate is hardened, about 5 minutes.
For the filling: Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the cream, milk and raspberry powder in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until small bubbles begin to form around the edges, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the dry mixture to the saucepan in 3 additions, whisking well after each addition. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. (Do not allow the mixture to boil; adjust the heat if needed.) Remove from the heat and add the butter, vanilla and 3 drops of gel coloring. Whisk to combine. Transfer the pudding to a medium glass bowl, then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Scoop 3 tablespoons of the pudding into each white chocolate cavity in the half-sphere mold. Using the back of a teaspoon, make a divot in the middle of each portion of pudding about halfway down. Pour a heaping teaspoon of raspberry jam into each divot. Top each half-sphere with a cake round, pressing down gently into the pudding (use a paper towel to wipe away any pudding that may seep out of the mold). Freeze until the pudding is set, about 30 minutes.
Gently peel the mold away from each of the half-spheres and trim the edges with a paring knife if needed. Place them cake-side down on a serving platter.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture in two additions, alternating with the sour cream, until just combined.
Drop mounds of dough (2 tablespoons each) about 2 inches apart on the prepared pans. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the bottoms and edges of the cookies are set and just starting to brown, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the pans, then remove the cookies to racks to cool completely. Meanwhile, make the icing: Sift the confectioners\u2019 sugar and malted milk powder into a large bowl. Add the corn syrup, vanilla and hot water and whisk until thick but spreadable. (If the mixture is too thick, add more hot water, 1 teaspoon at a time.) Remove half of the icing to a medium bowl. Using a rubber spatula, fold 1/2 teaspoon white food coloring into one bowl of icing, adding more food coloring if needed. Fold 1/2 teaspoon red food coloring and the cocoa powder into the remaining bowl of icing, adding more food coloring if needed.
Flip the cookies flat-side up on the racks. Spread the white icing on half of each cookie using a small offset spatula, sprinkle with white coarse sugar and return to the racks. Refrigerate until set, 15 to 20 minutes. (For a neat line between the 2 colors, lay a piece of foil or wax paper halfway across each cookie before spreading the white icing, then remove after refrigerating.) Spread the red icing on the other half of the cookies and sprinkle with red coarse sugar. Let set at room temperature, at least 2 hours or overnight.

Line a 3-quart bowl with plastic wrap. In another bowl, beat the marmalade into the softened vanilla ice cream with a wooden spoon until combined. Spoon 2 cups of the orange-vanilla ice cream into the bowl and smooth with a spoon or offset spatula to even. Top with the chocolate ice cream, again smoothing to even, tand hen top the chocolate layer with the remaining 6 cups orange-vanilla ice cream. Cover the surface with plastic wrap and freeze until the ice cream is very hard, at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours. Turn the brownie out onto a large, flat, ovenproof plate. Unmold the ice cream dome on top of the brownie layer. Place the cake back in the freezer. Hold in the freezer until the meringue is ready. In electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar for 2 minutes on medium-high speed until fluffy. Increase the speed to high and add the sugar in a slow stream until stiff, glossy peaks form, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the ice cream dome from the freezer. Remove the plastic wrap. Cover the ice cream dome completely with the meringue, using the back of a spoon to make swirly peaks. (Alternately, place the meringue in a pastry bag fitted with a rose tip and pipe spikes for a hedgehog look.) Freeze for at least 3 hours or up to 2 days. When ready to serve, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Bake until the peaks start to turn a golden brown color, 3 to 5 minutes. For easier slicing, let the cake stand for 30 minutes. Slice and serve. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray, line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and grease the parchment well. For your brownie batter, melt your butter in a medium (or large) heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. While the butter is melting, whisk the cocoa powder, sea salt and sugar in a separate bowl. (The sugar and salt will work as abrasive agents to get any lumps out of the cocoa.) Whisk the cocoa/sugar/salt combo into the melted butter until the sugar has dissolved fully. The mixture should look like fudge and pull away from the bowl into a ball. Take off the stove and set the pan on a dishtowel on your counter. Allow the fudgy mixture to cool down until it's warm, but not hot anymore. Stir the vanilla into the cooled fudge mixture to loosen it up. Add the eggs into the mixture 1 at a time, adding the second egg after the first egg is fully incorporated. The batter should look shiny and well blended. Add in your flour and stir it until it's fully incorporated. Once it looks fully blended, beat the batter vigorously for at least 45 strokes. This'll not only get out any pent up stress, but it will make the brownies chewy. Fold in your chocolate chips. Spread the thick and fudgy brownie batter evenly in the lined pan with an offset spatula or your greased hands. Pop the brownie in the oven and bake until they get a nice crust and your house smells like brownies, 20 to 25 minutes. Let them cool completely on a rack or a dishtowel on your counter.

" 41354,"Woodrow's Coffee BBQ Brisket Sandwich 1/2 cup smoked paprika 1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup chili powder
1/4 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
6 tablespoons granulated garlic
6 tablespoons onion powder
1 1/2- to 2 pounds beef brisket, preferably Angus 1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter 1 clove garlic, chopped
1/2 shallot, chopped
1 quart BBQ sauce (any kind'll do)
2 cups your favorite coffee (brewed liquid, not grounds)
1 bay leaf
5 brioche burger buns 1/4 stick (2 tablespoons) butter, melted
Oil, for frying 1 Idaho potato, cut into thin shoestrings (use a mandoline if possible)
2 jalapenos, sliced thin
Salt and pepper 1 onion, sliced thin
5 slices yellow Cheddar (or your favorite cheese)
Instructions: For the BBQ rub: Mix together smoked paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, salt, pepper, granulated garlic and onion powder in a bowl. Set aside. For the brisket: Trim excess fat from the outside of the brisket, keeping about 1/2-inch layer of fat on. Chop up excess fat and place it in a pot with 1 cup of the vegetable oil. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the fat starts to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn off heat and let cool, then strain to remove all the fat chunks. Set aside. Rub some of the remaining 1/4 vegetable oil all around the outside of the brisket. Rub brisket liberally with 3/4 cup BBQ rub (save remainder for another use). Rub the rest of the vegetable oil on top of the BBQ rub. (When putting rub on meat, just remember, \oil, rub, oil.) Let the brisket rest, covered and refrigerated, overnight. (If you are in a hurry, you could let it sit in the fridge for a couple hours and it should turn out okay.) Heat an outdoor grill to 350 degrees F. Preheat an oven to 200 degrees F. Sear the outside of the meat on all sides on the grill. Since we are not using a smoker, it is important to get some open flame action to caramelize the outside of the meat so we get some smoke flavor. Cover the meat with foil or thick butcher paper and place in a hotel pan. Transfer to the oven and roast for 12 hours or overnight. Let cool. For the coffee BBQ sauce: Melt the butter in a saucepot, then add garlic and shallots. Cook, stirring, until they start to caramelize. Add the BBQ sauce, coffee and bay leaf and simmer on medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for about 30 minutes. Let cool, remove the bay leaf and puree in a blender (optional). Set aside. Ready to make the sandwiches! Slice the brisket about 1/4-inch-thick and place in a large enough saute pan that each piece can be flat in the pan in a single layer. Add just enough BBQ sauce to come about halfway up the side of the meat. Heat the pan on medium to high heat. Meanwhile, split the burger buns. Toast the buns and add the melted butter to the insides. Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F. Fry shoestring potatoes until they start to turn golden brown, then add the sliced jalapenos to the fryer and continue frying until the fries are golden and jalapenos are crispy but still bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Let drain, then place in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Meanwhile, pay attention to the brisket in the pan. Turn each piece over on the other side with tongs and continue searing. Pour about 1/4 cup beef fat into another saute pan. Heat on medium-high heat and add the sliced onions. Cook the onions down until they start to get a dark caramelization-thing going on, then add salt and pepper to taste. Turn off heat, drain excess oil and set aside. At this point the brisket should be looking good. You want there to be a deep-dark crust forming on the outside. Time to assemble! Place buns on a tray, lay your Cheddar down on the bottom, add the BBQ brisket on top, beef fat onions on top of the brisket, jalapeno shoestrings on top of the onions, put on your bun lids\u2026DONE!

Roll the plastic wrap around the dough. Twist both ends of the wrap, like a candy, and tighten both sides until the dough log is compact and tightly wrapped (this might cause the dough to shrink down to a 6-inch log instead of a 7-inch log, but that is okay). Tuck the twisted ends under the dough and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours. When ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange 2 racks in the middle of the oven.

Transfer it to a 11 x 17-inch sheet tray lined with parchment paper and fit the dough to the tray exactly. Be sure the dough is evenly rolled - about 3/8-inch thick. Freeze the sheet tray for about 1/2 hour. Remove the tray from the freezer and using a fluted 2 1/4-inch round cutter, cut out 24 to 28 circles. Using a fork, dock each round well in the center, 4 to 6 times; leave a 1/4-inch rim undocked. The circles can be put back in the freezer for up to 2 months. Once they're frozen, they can be stacked and wrapped in plastic wrap. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Heat some oil in a saute pan and cook the onions slowly, until they are soft and fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool. Slice the tomatoes about 3/8-inch thick. Cut off broccoli flowers about 1 1/4 inches around. Cut them as close to the flower as possible, without them falling apart. Cut the stems off the mushrooms flush with the bottom of the cap (don't hollow them) and slice as thinly as possible. Fill a little bowl with about 1-inch of oil. Place the rounds of dough, upside down on a papered cookie sheet and dock again. Brush about 1/3 with oil, spread about 1/3 with a little olive paste or pesto, and spoon about 1/2 of the cooled onions on the remaining rounds. Sprinkle each with Parmesan. Place a tomato slice on the rounds spread with oil only; the slice should be the same size or a little smaller than the round of dough. Garnish with a few strips of fresh basil.

Whisk together the eggs, yolks and granulated sugar until smooth. Whisk in the half-and-half, orange liqueur, vanilla, orange zest and salt. Lay the bread on a rimmed baking sheet or in a large baking dish, pour the custard mixture over the top and let sit for 15 minutes. Flip and let sit for at least 30 minutes more. (You can also cover and refrigerate overnight, turning a few more times.) For the strawberries: Meanwhile, combine the strawberries, granulated sugar and orange liqueur in a bowl. Let sit at room temperature until the strawberries release their juices and soften slightly, about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. While the bread is soaking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over high heat, then add the muscovado sugar and whisk until smooth. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat and spread the mixture evenly over it. Place the soaked bread directly on the sugar. Bake until golden brown and puffed, about 20 minutes. Serve the French toast, sugar-side up, topped with the berries and their juices. ","[Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio]

Scrape down the sides of the processor and pulse again. Dissolve 1 teaspoon salt in the seltzer and vinegar in a liquid measuring cup. Pulse as you pour the liquid through the feed tube, 20 to 30 seconds. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. Flatten into an even disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Make the filling: Put the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water and season with salt.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator 30 minutes before making the knishes. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F; lightly brush a baking sheet with olive oil. Make the knishes: Put the dough on a floured sheet of parchment paper; dust with flour. Stretch into a 6-by-8-inch rectangle, then use a rolling pin to roll into a 12-by-18-inch rectangle. With the long side of the dough in front of you, shape the filling into a tight log, leaving a 2-inch border on the side closest to you and 1 1/2 inches on each end. Use the parchment paper to help roll the dough around the filling, stretching the dough as needed to keep it tight. Brush off the flour as you roll. Pinch the dough closed at the seam, then carefully turn the roll seam-side down on the parchment paper. Pull on the ends of the dough and twist to seal; pinch off the excess dough. Press the handle of a wooden spoon into the log to divide it into 3 even sections. Seal each piece closed by stretching the dough over the open sides; twist the dough and pinch off any excess. Cut each piece in half with a sharp knife to make 6 knishes. They should be closed on one side. With the cut side up, stretch the dough partly over the filling, leaving some exposed. Flatten each knish slightly so it is about 1 1/2 inches high. Place the knishes 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Bake 30 minutes; brush with olive oil and continue baking until golden, 25 to 35 more minutes. Serve with mustard.

Especially when paired with halloumi cheese, which I just love. It's a Cypriot cheese made from goat's or sheep's milk and you can get it from all good supermarkets. It's like a chewy feta but one you can cook with. When fried or broiled it goes all crispy on the outside and soft and slightly chewy on the inside. A brilliant thing to eat. In a bowl, drizzle the sliced strawberries with a good splash of balsamic vinegar, the lemon juice and some extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. This will draw out and flavor the lovely strawberry juices. Preheat a large nonstick frying pan to medium hot and add a splash of olive oil. Press a basil leaf onto each slice of halloumi. Place the slices, leaf side down, in the frying pan and fry for a minute. Turn over carefully and fry for another minute until the halloumi is light golden and crisp. Get yourself 4 plates and place a couple of pieces of the crispy halloumi on each. Put the mint, the rest of the basil leaves and the salad leaves into the bowl with the strawberries and toss together. Pile some of the strawberry mixture in the middle of each plate and drape the speck over the top. Finish with more salad leaves. To serve, drizzle with balsamic vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil. \Our agreement with the producers of \Jamie at Home\ only permit us to make 2 recipes per episode available online.

Arrange the mushrooms on a baking sheet, and broil until the sides facing up begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Flip, and continue to broil until the sides facing up are soft, about 5 minutes more. Let cool. Put the mushrooms, gill-side up, between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, and pound to about 1/4 inch thick with a meat mallet. Season all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk together the flour, baking powder and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a separate shallow dish. Lower the oven heat to 250 degrees F. Put a rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Heat about an inch of oil to 350 degrees F in a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. While the oil heats, dredge each mushroom in the flour mixture to completely coat; shake off any excess. Then dip into the egg mixture until fully coated; let the excess drip off. Return the mushroom to the flour mixture, and dredge a second time, until completely coated, pressing firmly into the flour mixture. Arrange on one side of the rack on the baking sheet. Add 2 of the breaded mushrooms to the hot oil, and cook, turning once, until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes total. Transfer the mushrooms to the unused side of the rack. When the oil comes back to temperature, repeat with the remaining 2 mushrooms and keep the first 2 warm in the oven. Serve the mushroom steaks with mashed potatoes and generous spoonfuls of hot gravy. Garnish with chives or scallions if using. Position an oven rack in the top position in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Toss the onions, celery, carrots and garlic with the oil and 1 teaspoon salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until the vegetables are charred in some places, 25 to 30 minutes. Bring the roasted vegetables, 1 cup water, mushrooms, thyme, sun-dried tomatoes, soy sauce, bay leaf and 1 teaspoon salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is gone, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 6 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and bring back to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and gently simmer until reduced by about one third, about 45 minutes. Strain the stock into a large liquid measuring cup, then squeeze all the liquid out of the solids with the back of a ladle (there should be about 4 cups of stock); discard the solids. (If not making gravy right away, let the stock cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month; warm slightly before making gravy.) Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the sage leaves to the butter, and stir for 30 seconds; remove the fried sage leaves, and set aside. Add the flour to the saucepan, and stir until smooth and lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the warm stock while whisking constantly until smooth and thick, 8 to 10 minutes. Chop the fried sage, stir it and the parsley into the gravy and season to taste with pepper.

Combine the water, butter, salt, and sugar in a large saucepan and bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. When it boils, immediately take the pan off the heat. Stirring with a wooden spoon, add all the flour at once and stir hard until the flour is incorporated, about 30 to 60 seconds. Return the pan to the heat and cook, stirring, 2 minutes to evaporate some of the moisture. Scrape the mixture into a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or use a hand mixer or mix by hand.) Mix at medium speed. With the mixer running, add 3 of the eggs, 1 at a time, stopping after each to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix until the dough is smooth and glossy and the eggs are completely incorporated. The dough should be thick, but should fall slowly and steadily from the beaters when you lift them out of the bowl. If the dough is still clinging to the beaters, add another egg and mix until completely incorporated. Using a pastry bag, pipe the dough in bite-size \kisses\ (about 1 1/2 inches across) onto 1 of the cookie sheets. Dip your finger in flour and push down the points to smooth out any bumps. Bake 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375 degrees F and bake until puffed up and light golden brown, about 25 minutes more. Try not to open the oven door too often during the baking. Let cool on the baking sheet. Make the Caramel: Pour the sugar into the center of a deep saucepan. Carefully pour the water around the sugar, trying not to splash any sugar onto the sides of the pan. Do not stir; gently draw your finger through the center of the sugar to moisten it. Over high heat, bring to a full boil and cook without stirring, swirling the pot occasionally to even out the color, until amber-caramel in color, 10 to 20 minutes. When the mixture is done, remove the pot from the heat and rest the bottom in the ice bath for 15 seconds to stop the cooking. Dip the top of each cream puff in the caramel and place it caramel-side down, with the base sticking straight up, on the other greased cookie sheet. The caramel will pool slightly around the puff and will harden and develop a foot. (When you turn the puffs over later, this will be a smooth flat \lid\ for each profiterole.) Let cool until set, at least 10 minutes. When ready to serve, carefully turn the puffs over and cut each 1 horizontally in 1/2 using a long serrated knife. Fill each with a small scoop of ice cream or sweetened, flavored whipped cream. Place the lid on top and serve immediately.

Using a serrated knife, cut ice cream package in half lengthwise through the cardboard. Wrap one half in plastic wrap and freeze for another use. Halve the remaining piece lengthwise. Flip the ice cream, with the 2 pieces still together, so the cut side is up, and cut it crosswise into 4 equal sections - you'll have 8 pieces of ice cream.
Place a crepe on the work surface and place a piece of ice cream in the center. Fold the crepe over the ice cream to enclose completely. Place the filled crepes on the prepared baking sheet. Continue with the remaining ice cream and crepes and freeze until just firm. (This recipe can be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance. Wrap carefully in plastic wrap before freezing. Allow to soften slightly before proceeding.)

Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter and melt together. Add shallots and cook for 2 minutes, or until translucent, and then toss the mushrooms, thyme, and bay leaf into the pan. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and begin to turn golden brown. Pour 1 cup of the wine into the pan, and bring the liquid to a simmer, allowing the wine to evaporate. Continue cooking until the mushrooms are dry, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Remove mushrooms from the pan and set aside. Discard the bay leaf. Reduce the flame to low, and add the remaining butter and oil to the pan and melt. Stir in the rice and coat with the oil until the kernels are shiny, about 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in the remaining 1 cup of white wine and let evaporate.
Add the chicken broth, 1 ladle at a time, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid. Do not add too quickly so as to prevent the kernels from exploding. Stir over a gentle flame until each ladle of the liquid is absorbed. Repeat until most of the broth is incorporated and the risotto rice is al dente, about 25 minutes.
Fold the mushrooms back into the rice and season with salt, pepper and parsley. Stir in the Parmesan and finish with slices of white truffle, if available. Serve immediately. Put the chicken, vegetables, and giblets in a large stockpot over medium heat. Pour in enough cold water to cover by 1 inch (about 3 quarts); too much water will make the broth taste weak. Toss in the herbs and peppercorns and allow it to slowly come to a boil. Reduce the heat and gently simmer for 1 hour, uncovered, until the chicken is done. As the stock cooks, skim any impurities that rise to the surface; add a little more water, if necessary, to keep the chicken covered while simmering.
Carefully remove the chicken to a cutting board. When it is cool enough to handle, discard the skin and bones; hand-shred the meat into a storage container and reserve for soups and salads.
Strain the stock into another pot through a fine sieve or a strainer lined with cheesecloth to remove excess fat and the vegetable solids. Use the stock immediately, or if you plan on storing it, place the pot in a sink full of ice water and stir to cool down the stock.

Stir together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Combine the corn syrup, brown sugar, and margarine in a 2-quart saucepan. Stir constantly over medium heat until margarine is melted. Pour the syrup mixture over the flour mixture. Stir well, using your hands to mix as the dough becomes stiff. If you are using a heavy-duty Kitchen Aid mixer, the mixer can handle this dough; lightweight mixers cannot. Chill the dough 1 hour or until it is about room temperature. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Roll out the dough on nonstick baking parchment to a thickness of 1/8-inch. Using the patterns of your choice, cut out the necessary pieces. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Smaller pieces should be baked separately from larger ones, as baking times will vary depending on size. Check for air bubbles during baking and poke them with a knife or skewer. When baking is done, slide the parchment with the hot gingerbread onto a cooling rack. Make sure all the pieces lie flat. For the icing: Sift the confectioners' sugar. Place the egg whites in a mixer bowl. Add sugar and cream of tartar to egg whites while stirring. When all the sugar is incorporated, turn mixer to high and beat mixture until thick and very white. The icing should hold a stiff peak. The process takes about 5 to 7 minutes, longer if using a hand mid mixer. Cover the icing tightly with plastic wrap, as it dries very quickly. Use paste food colors to tint the icing. A tiny dot on a toothpick to a quarter cup of icing will make a nice pastel color, but be sure to add it a little at a time. With practice you will learn how much to use to get the color intensity you want. ","[Chardonnay, Riesling, Gewrztraminer, Pinot Grigio]

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 clove garlic, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1 sweet onion, cut into 1/3-inch slices
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the turkey breast from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Cut 3 pieces of kitchen twine and set aside. Add the butter, parsley, lemon zest, thyme, onion powder, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to a small bowl. Use a fork or a rubber spatula to incorporate all of the ingredients into the butter. Set aside. Pat the turkey breast dry. Using clean hands, starting at one end of the breast, slide your fingers under the skin to create a pocket between the meat and the skin. Use your hands to transfer the butter into the pocket and smooth the butter into an even layer. Use the kitchen twine to tie the turkey horizontally in 3 places. This will help the turkey breast cook evenly and remain juicy. Flip the turkey breast so that it is skin-side down. Drizzle it with 1 teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Flip the turkey over and repeat the same seasoning process. Arrange the onion slices on a small rimmed baking sheet. Pour 1/3 cup water into the baking sheet and place the turkey breast on top of the onions. Transfer to the oven and roast for 1 hour. Remove the turkey from the oven and baste it with the butter and juices from the baking sheet. Continue to roast until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F, another 20 to 25 minutes. Allow the turkey to cool for 15 minutes. (In this time the internal temperature will rise another 5 degrees.) Slice the turkey and serve it with the roasted onions.

Peanut or vegetable oil, for frying Steamed rice and steamed broccoli, for serving Instructions: Look at the label on the turkey and write down the exact weight. Place the turkey on a rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons salt all over the turkey, inside and out, nudging some into areas where the skin naturally separates from the bird, such as around the neck, top of the breast and between the legs and breast. Chill, uncovered, at least 12 hours and up to 2 days. Pat the turkey very dry with paper towels, making sure there is no moisture anywhere, especially in the cavity. (Any wetness may cause dangerous splattering.) Place the turkey breast-side up in the basket of a turkey fryer or on the fry stand, depending on the type of deep fryer you have; follow the manufacturer's instructions. Let the turkey sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour and up to 3.
Fill a turkey fryer with oil according to the manufacturer's instructions, following the specifications for the weight of your turkey (see Cook's Note). Heat to 375 degrees F (this could take 30 to 60 minutes depending on your fryer). Set a rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
Lowering the turkey requires upper body strength so prepare yourself. Most fryers come with a hook to lower and raise the basket or fry stand in and out of the oil. Make sure to use the hook. Lift the basket over the fryer and carefully and slowly lower the turkey into the oil, inch by inch, until about half way, and then pause to allow the cavity to fill with oil. The oil will be bubbling vigorously and that?s ok. (If it starts to splatter violently, that could mean there is water on the turkey or that the turkey is still partially frozen. If that happens, remove the turkey from the oil and check to ensure the turkey is free of moisture and not still frozen.) Once the cavity is full of oil, continue lowering the turkey until it is completely submerged. Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding cooking covered or uncovered, adjusting the heat. Continue cooking until the turkey is golden brown, 3 1/2 to 4 minutes per pound, 40 to 50 minutes.
Carefully remove the turkey from the oil and transfer to the prepared rack to drain and cool, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the sauce: Heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.

Place the almond paste and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the almond paste is softened and the sugar well-incorporated, about 5 minutes. Add the egg whites a little bit at a time, incorporating fully after each addition. Egg whites are difficult to pour in small amounts, so hold a rubber spatula against the rim of the bowl, and use it to \cut\ the egg whites as they are poured. If you add the egg whites all at once, the mixture will be lumpy, because the difference in consistency between the egg whites and the almond paste mixture is too great. Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. You may or may not need all of the egg whites depending on the moistness and age of the almond paste. Stop mixing when the mixture reaches a consistency soft enough to pipe (similar to toothpaste). Place the batter in a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip. Pipe 1-inch mounds onto a parchment-lined sheet pan. It will be easier if you hold the pastry bag at a slight angle and allow the tip to touch the parchment as you start to pipe. Once you have formed the mound, stop squeezing and lift the tip straight up, leaving a small tail on the top of each mound. Space the macaroons about 1-inch apart to allow for spreading and pipe carefully. The macaroons will look nicest when sandwiched together if they are all the same size. Immediately before placing them in the oven, liberally sprinkle granulated sugar over the macaroons. This will give them a nice crust that will keep the inside moist and chewy. Bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. The top of each macaroon should be very finely cracked, a characteristic for which they are known. If over-baked, the macaroons will be dry and crunchy. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and immediately pour the water onto the sheet pan under the parchment paper. Be careful! If you get any water on the macaroons, they will be soggy. You will need to tilt the baking sheet to spread the water evenly. Let it sit for 2 minutes. The water will loosen the macaroons from the paper. Remove the macaroons from the paper two at a time and stick them together, matching the flat sides. Do not put them back on the hot, wet baking sheet or they will become soggy. The macaroons can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or well wrapped in the freezer for up to one week. Unwrap them before bringing back to room temperature, or the condensation will make them soggy. ","[Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio]

","[Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, GSM]" 41588,"Mystery of the Orient 3 pounds bittersweet chocolate, tempered 16 ounces white chocolate, tempered Cocoa butter Powdered food coloring, as desired Vegetable oil, for glazing Modeling chocolate Cornstarch, for rolling Instructions: Make the base: Use flexible aluminum strips or large cake ring to form a base. The base I made was 10-inches in diameter. Place the ring on a parchment paper lined surface. Pour tempered dark chocolate inside the ring to form a 1/2-inch-thick layer. When the chocolate has set, remove the ring and peel off the parchment paper. Make a support pole: Roll a piece of acetate into a tube that is 14 inches long and 2 1/2 inches in diameter and tape it closed. Set the tube on end and fill with dark chocolate. When it is full, invert the tube over the bowl of chocolate allowing the excess chocolate to flow back into the bowl. Let set. When the chocolate has set, repeat this step a few more times. You want the tube to be quite sturdy, as the rest of the centerpiece will depend on it. Allow the chocolate tube to set until hard. Remove the acetate. Use a hot knife to trim the base of the tube so it is flat. Then use the knife to scar the bottom. You want to make it somewhat textured so it will form a better seal to the base. Use tempered chocolate to glue the pole onto the base. Position it well so you can rest the molded chocolate against it. Make the disks: Use an offset spatula to spread a 1/4-inch-thick layer of tempered white chocolate over a sheet of acetate. Let the chocolate set slightly. Set a 6-inch cake circle on top of the chocolate and trace around it with a sharp paring knife. When the chocolate is set, peel off the acetate and set the disk aside. Repeat 2 more times to make an 8-inch circle and a 10-inch circle. To paint the 6-inch chocolate disk, mix together a few tablespoons of the cocoa butter with a small amount of powdered food color. It will be easier if you use a yogurt machine to store and warm your paints. Use a paintbrush to paint the Japanese characters on the disk. Set aside. Use the same method to paint the 8-inch disk red. When the paint has dried, you can glaze it with any kind of vegetable oil. Make the face piece. Roll out the modeling chocolate to a 20-inch diameter circle. Use cornstarch to keep the modeling chocolate from sticking to the rolling pin or the work surface. Place the face mold on a flat surface in front of you. Carefully gather the modeling chocolate and place it over the face mold pressing it into the mold. Gather the sides to give the rest of the piece more character. The finished size should be 14 inches across and 16 inches from top to bottom. You can place the flexible modeling chocolate in the refrigerator. It will keep its shape better when it is cold. Use tempered dark chocolate to adhere the face piece to the 10-inch in circle. This will give the piece extra support so it can be glued to the support pole. Adhere this piece to the pole using more tempered chocolate. Make the fan: The fan has 9 spokes. Use an offset spatula to spread a 1/8-inch-thick layer of tempered dark chocolate over a sheet of acetate. Let the chocolate set slightly. Use a straight edge to cut 9 strips of dark chocolate that are each 8 inches long and 3/8-inch wide. When the chocolate is set, peel off the acetate. Arrange the fan pieces so they spread evenly across an 8-inch wide space. You may need to adjust this measurement to fit the bottom of the fan you make. Glue the spokes together toward 1 end. If necessary, use a hot knife to trim the ends of the chocolate. Use modeling chocolate to make the face of the fan. Roll out the modeling chocolate so it is about 30 inches wide. Use a sharp paring knife to trace around the fan to get the shape. Carefully gather the modeling chocolate and place it over the fan using the fan to create the folds. My finished fan was about 24 inches across the top and 9 inches across the bottom. Use an offset spatula to spread a 1/8-inch-thick layer of tempered white chocolate over a sheet of acetate. Let the chocolate set slightly. Cut a curved piece of chocolate that is about 2 inches wide. This will serve as extra support for the fan. Paint the back of the fan with white chocolate. Use more tempered chocolate to glue the support piece to the back of the fan. Use more tempered chocolate to glue the spokes to the bottom of the fan. If you use an airbrush, simply place a few drops of color in the receptacle of the airbrush and decorate, as you are inspired. If you use 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 a yogurt machine to store and warm your paints. Apply color where you are inspired to do so. Use tempered chocolate to adhere the spokes to the back of the fan. Use more tempered chocolate to adhere the fan to the support. Adhere the painted disks to the support.

" 41592,"Smoked Beef Ribs 1 4-pound rack beef ribs (about 8 ribs) 6 to 8 dried guajillo chiles 1/4 cup minced fresh rosemary 1/4 cup minced garlic Kosher salt 1/4 cup peanut oil Instructions: Prep the ribs: Put the ribs meaty-side down on a cutting board. Starting at one end, slide a chef's knife under the membrane that covers the back of the rack and make a cut in the membrane. Loosen the membrane with the knife, then grab it and pull it off. (The ribs will still be covered by a thin membrane-leave this; it holds the ribs together.) Make the rub: Slit each cl open lengthwise. Shake out the seeds and remove the stems and inner membranes. Tear the chiles into small pieces and grind in a spice or coffee grinder until powdery. Combine the rosemary, garlic and 1/4 cup each ground chiles and salt in a bowl. Mix in the peanut oil. Marinate the ribs: Rub the back of the rib rack with about one-quarter of the spice mixture. Rub the rest on the meaty side. Refrigerate at least 3 hours or preferably overnight. Prepare the grill: Stuff newspaper in the bottom of a chimney starter. Put it on the grill grate and fill with equal parts mesquite charcoal briquettes and mesquite wood chunks. Light the newspaper through the holes in the chimney. The charcoal and wood chunks will ignite. Allow the flames to die down and the coals to ash over. Remove the grill grate and dump the coals out of the chimney into the bottom of the grill, banking them to one side to create an indirect heat zone on the other side. Replace the grate. Smoke the ribs: Lay the ribs, meaty side up, on a sheet of heavy-duty foil over the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat). If there's space between your grill grates, use an extra-long piece of foil and let it hang down to the bottom of the grill, alongside the coals (as shown); this will help direct the smoke up toward the meat. Cover the grill and smoke until tender, 1 hour, 30 minutes to 2 hours, 30 minutes, turning every 20 minutes. You'll need to feed the fire about every 45 minutes: Lift the grate and add about a half chimney's worth of unlit briquettes and wood chunks to the hot coals.

To prepare the chicken: Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a saute pan, heat olive oil and sear skin side down until golden in color, about 3 minutes. Turn and saute another 3 minutes. Transfer pan to oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes or until done. Remove the chicken from the pan and keep warm. Remove fat from pan. Add fennel, sage sprig, lemon zest, lemon juice, and raisins and deglaze with 1 cup of white wine and 1/2 cup sweet wine. Over high heat, reduce by half. Add brown chicken stock and cream. Reduce until slightly thickened. Remove sage and finish sauce with butter and grapes. To prepare the couscous: In a saucepan, heat olive oil. Add onions and cook for 1 minute, until glossy (do not brown). Add pearl couscous and stir until well coated with oil. Season with salt and add 1 cup of chicken stock. Stir occasionally until 2/3 of the liquid is absorbed. Add the remaining cup of stock, and continue to cook until al dente. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, stir in butter, and finish with parsley. Set aside and keep warm. To serve: Place a few tablespoons of couscous in the center of a plate. Slice each chicken breast diagonally into 2 pieces. Arrange on top of couscous. Nap with sauce and sprinkle with sage leaves. Serve immediately. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spread the bones and onion slices in a roasting pan and set in the oven. Turn the bones to brown all sides until they are a deep golden brown, about 30 minutes. Do not allow them to burn, since that will give the stock a bitter taste. Transfer the bones and onion to a stockpot, and place the roasting pan on the stove. Over medium high heat, deglaze the pan with 2 cups of water, scraping up all the bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Pour into the stockpot and add 3 quarts of water.

At this point, the stock is more concentrated and more flavorful. Strain into a clean bowl and cool. Since brown stock is primarily a base for sauces and only a small amount is used, pour the cooled stock into an ice-cube tray.

Trim the tops of the cakes with a long serrated knife to make them level. For the ganache: Put the chocolate in a medium bowl. Bring the heavy cream and corn syrup to a simmer in a small saucepan. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let stand 5 minutes, then stir until completely smooth. Let the ganache sit until it has cooled and thickened to a spreadable consistency, 20 to 30 minutes. Place 1 cake layer on a cardboard cake circle on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to catch any drips. Spread about 1/2 cup of the ganache on top and place the second cake layer cut-side down over the ganache. Dollop half of the remaining ganache on top and spread with a large offset spatula so the ganache covers the top of the cake and slowly runs down the sides. Repeat with the remaining ganache, using the offset spatula to make a smooth, even layer over the surface and around the sides of the cake. Refrigerate until set, 30 minutes to 1 hour. To decorate: Melt the white chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in 15 second intervals on 50 percent power until melted, stirring after each interval. Let sit 5 minutes, then transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a medium plain tip. (Alternatively, transfer to a resealable plastic bag and snip off a corner.) Pipe a straight line through the center of the cake from top to bottom, then another line through the center from left to right, dividing the cake into quarters. Pipe 2 more lines to divide the cake into eighths. Pipe a circle of white chocolate around the edge of the cake. Pipe a small circle where the points intersect in the center of the cake. Place a candy-coated chocolate near the tip of each point for reindeer noses (one of them will be red). Add 2 reindeer eyes above each nose. Stick 2 pretzel twist pieces above each pair of eyes.

TEMPERING CHOCOLATE: Tempering is important because it determines the final gloss, hardness, and contraction of the chocolate. Those factors are evidence that the cocoa butter in the chocolate has been correctly crystallized. Chocolate is purchased in its tempered form. It snaps when you break it, usually has a nice shine to it and it is hard. In order to use it, you need to melt it. When you melt chocolate, the molecules of fat separate and you lose the temper (crystallization). If you want to use the chocolate for molding or coating, it needs to be tempered. Tempering chocolate means putting the molecules of fat back together. There are a variety of ways to do it. One of the easiest ways to temper it is to place the chocolate in a glass bowl and put it in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time on high power until the chocolate is melted. Be very careful not to overheat it. Keep an eye on it; the chocolate will not look like it has melted because it retains its shape. The chocolate should be only slightly warmer than your bottom lip. You may still see lumps in it but, don't worry; the residual heat of the chocolate will melt them. You can also use an immersion blender to break up the lumps and start the recrystallization process. Usually, the chocolate begins to set (recrystallize) along the side of the bowl. As it begins to crystallize, mix those crystals into the melted chocolate and they will begin the recrystallization process. I like to use a glass bowl because it retains the heat and keeps the chocolate tempered a long time. Here is another easy way to temper chocolate. In this method, tempering is achieved by adding small pieces of unmelted chocolate to melted chocolate. The amount of unmelted chocolate to be added depends on the temperature of the melted chocolate but is usually one fourth of the total amount. I use an immersion blender to mix the 2 together. The classic way to temper chocolate is call tabliering. Chocolate is melted over a hot water bath to a temperature between 88 and 90 F (31 to 34 C). White and milk chocolate are melted to a temperature approximately 2 F less, depending on the amount of milk fat they contain. 2/3 of the melted chocolate is poured on a cold table or marble surface. The chocolate is spread out and worked with a spatula until the temperature of the chocolate is approximately 81 F (27 C). At this stage, it is thick and begins to set. This tempered chocolate is then added to the remaining one third of non-tempered chocolate and mixed thoroughly until the mass in the bowl has a completely uniform temperature. If the temperature is still too high, part of the chocolate is further worked on the cold table until the correct temperature is reached. This is a lot of work, requires a lot of room and makes a big mess. Here is a tip: Temper more chocolate than you need. A larger quantity will hold its temper longer than a smaller quantity (just like a large cup of coffee will stay hot longer than a small cup of espresso). You can always reuse the extra chocolate. Most people have trouble tempering because they use too small of an amount. Don't forget to use a glass bowl. A simple method of checking tempering is by applying a small quantity of chocolate to a piece of paper or to the point of a knife. If the chocolate has been correctly tempered it will harden evenly and show a good gloss within 5 minutes. Remember, just like everything else in life, practice makes perfect. If your chocolate does not temper the first time, you can still eat it! Now that is an incentive!

Add chicken pieces and poach, covered, over low heat for about 35 to 45 minutes, until cooked through and juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Remove the meat from the stock. Strain and reserve the stock. Heat 2 quarts of water in a kettle. On a 10-inch dry comal, griddle, or in a cast-iron frying pan, toast the chiles over medium heat until blackened, but not burnt, about 10 minutes. Place the chiles in a large bowl, cover with hot water, and soak for 1/2 hour. Remove the chiles from the soaking water with tongs, placing small batches in a blender with 1/4 cup of the cl soaking water to blend smooth. Put the cl puree through a strainer to remove the skins. In the same dry comal, griddle, or frying pan, grill the onion and garlic over medium heat for 10 minutes. Set aside. Toast the almonds, peanuts, cinnamon stick, peppercorns, and cloves in a dry comal, griddle or cast-iron frying pan for about 5 minutes. Remove them from the pan. Over the same heat, toast the cl seeds, taking care to blacken but not burn them, about 20 minutes. Try to do this outside or in a well-ventilated place because the seeds will give off very strong fumes. When the seeds are completely black, light them with a match and let them burn themselves out. Remove from the heat and place in a bowl. Soak the blackened seeds in 1 cup of cold water for 10 minutes. Drain the seeds and grind them in a blender for about 2 minutes. Add the blended cl seeds to the blended cl mixture. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in an 8-inch cast-iron frying pan over medium heat until smoking. Add the raisins and fry them until they are plump, approximately 1 minute. Remove from the pan. Fry the bread slice in the same oil until browned, about 5 minutes, over medium heat. Remove from pan. Fry the plantain in the same oil until it is well browned, approximately 10 minutes, over medium heat. Set aside. Fry the sesame seeds, stirring constantly over low heat, adding more oil if needed. When the sesame seeds start to brown, about 5 minutes, add the pecans and brown for 2 minutes more. Remove all from the pan, let cool, and grind finely in a spice grinder. It takes a bit of time, but this is the only way to grind the seeds and nuts finely enough. Wipe out the frying pan and fry the tomatoes, tomatillos, thyme, and oregano over medium to high heat, allowing the juices to almost evaporate, about 15 minutes. Blend well, using 1/2 cup of reserved stock if needed to blend and set aside. Place the nuts, bread, plantains, raisins, onion, garlic and spices in the blender in small batches, and blend well, adding about 1 cup of stock to make it smooth. In a heavy 4-quart stockpot, heat 2 tablespoons of lard or oil until smoking and fry the cl paste over medium to low heat, stirring constantly so it will not burn, approximately 20 minutes. When it is dry, add the tomato puree and fry until the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Add the ground ingredients, including the sesame seed paste, to the pot. Stir constantly with a wooden soon until well-incorporated, about 10 minutes. Add 1 cup chicken stock to the mole, stir well, and allow to cook 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Break up the chocolate and add to the pot, stirring until it is melted and incorporated into the mixture. Toast the avocado leaf briefly over the flame if you have a gas range or in a dry frying pan and then add it to the pot. Slowly add more stock to the mole, as it will keep thickening as it cooks. Add enough salt to bring out the flavor. Let simmer another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally so it does not stick, adding stock as needed. The mole should not be thick; just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Place the cooked chicken pieces in the leftover stock in a saucepan and heat through. To serve, place a piece of chicken in a shallow bowl and ladle 3/4 of a cup of mole sauce over to cover it completely. Serve immediately with lots of hot corn tortillas. You can use oil instead of lard to fry the mole, but the flavor will change dramatically. In our pueblo, people traditionally use turkey instead of chicken, and sometimes add pieces of pork and beef to enhance the flavor. You can use leftover mole and chicken meat to make Enmoladas or Tamales Oazaquenos made with banana leaves. Inspired by Maria Taboada and Paula Martinez ","[Barolo, Barbaresco, Dolcetto, Gaja]
" 41648,"Shrimp, Artichoke and Fresh Ricotta Flatbread 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/4 pound shrimp (16/20,) peeled, deveined, tails off 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 1/4 recipe Simple Pizza Dough, recipe follows Flour Olive oil 1/2 cup ricotta cheese 1 tablespoon chopped oregano, plus more for garnish 1/4 cup marinated artichokes, chopped 1/4 cup roasted red pepper, chopped 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper 1 3/4 cups warm water (105 to 110 degrees F) 1 envelope active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons) 2 teaspoons sugar 3 tablespoons olive oil 4 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting 2 teaspoons salt Nonstick spray Instructions: Preheat a cast-iron grill pan or outdoor grill to high heat. Melt the butter in a saute pan over medium heat, add the shrimp and garlic and saute until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Toss the shrimp with the chopped parsley. Set aside to cool and then chop the shrimp. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and stretch and press with your hands to form a thin, rectangular shape. If you need to, pick up the dough and let the natural weight of the dough stretch itself out. It doesn't need to be perfect, matter of fact its better when it's not. Once you have the dough in the shape you like, brush one side of the dough with olive oil and lay that side down flat onto the preheated grill. Cook the dough until it is charred and has a crisp texture, about 5 minutes, brush the other side with some oil and then flip the dough and char the second side. Once the bread is charred and cooked, remove it from the grill and assemble the flatbread. Spread the ricotta onto the flatbread and sprinkle the oregano over the entire surface. Top with the artichokes, red peppers and shrimp and sprinkle the entire thing with lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Serve and enjoy! In a liquid measuring cup, combine the warm water, yeast and sugar. Allow the yeast to dissolve and bloom, about 5 minutes. Once bloomed, add the olive oil. Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour and salt. Stream in the water/yeast mixture and as the dough begins to come together, switch to a dough hook attachment. Allow the dough to knead, adding a bit more flour if needed, so that the dough releases from the sides of the bowl, 1 to 3 minutes. You should be able to touch the dough and not have the dough stick to your fingers. Once the dough has kneaded and has pulled away from the sides of the bowl, remove the dough from bowl to a floured work surface and, with floured hands, continue to knead it by hand for 1 to 2 minutes. Then form the dough into a round ball and place it into a large bowl sprayed with nonstick spray. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean dish towel and let the dough rise in a warm area of your kitchen until it doubles in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. After the dough has risen it is ready to be cooked however you'd like! Cook's Notes: This dough is wet dough, keep bench flour at the ready and make sure to flour your hands when working with the dough. Trust your gut as a chef, if the dough is to wet, add more flour, if it is too stiff, add a little water. Sugar is used to feed the yeast which will help the dough to grow. Bread flour will give you a chewier texture because the flour has more gluten. You don't need to use a thermometer to get the water temperature, it should just feel warm to the touch.

Assemble all of your topping ingredients on a big platter. Lightly oil a sheet pan and roll and stretch one ball of dough until it is approximately 12-inches in length and 8-inches across. It is not necessary to make a perfect circle, but the dough should be an even thickness of 1/8-inch. Carefully stretch the dough onto the hot side of the grill and cook until the dough puffs on top, crisps on the bottom, and grill marks appear, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the dough onto the cool side of the grill and brush the cooked side with olive oil. Quickly and sparingly assemble the toppings of your choice, such as tomato puree, fontina, and prosciutto di Parma, capers, and red peppers; or tomato puree, pecorino Romano, bel paese, grilled jumbo shrimp, and jarred Italian eggplant. Garnish with torn basil leaves. Feel free to improvise the toppings and come up with your own. Once the pizza has been dressed, season it with salt and pepper, to taste, drag it over to the hot side of the grill, and cook until the ingredients are heated through. (If the pizza browns too quickly, pull it to the cool side and cover the grill to finish cooking.) Using a wide spatula or two pairs of tongs, carefully lift the pizza onto a cutting board and divide into 6 or 8 pieces. Serve right away. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Put the 3-layer cake on an upside-down cake pan (so trimming will be easier). Using a small serrated knife, trim the bottom edge of the cake to round it out, then round out the top edge. Frost the top. Set the remaining cake layer on top of the 3-layer cake; freeze at least 30 minutes. Trim around this layer at an angle, cutting inward so it resembles a shallow bowl. Cut and scoop out the center of the top cake layer, about 6 inches wide and 2 inches deep. Cover the inside of the hole with the white frosting. Dye the remaining chocolate frosting black. Cover the exposed cake with a thin layer of black frosting; freeze about 20 minutes, then cover with the remaining frosting (reserve about 1 tablespoon). Return the cake to the freezer.

Oil a roasting pan and set it aside. Put the onion into the bowl of a mini food processor. Using a vegetable peeler, peel the zest from the lemon in thin strips, being careful not to cut into the bitter white pith. Add the lemon zest to the food processor and reserve the whole lemon for another use. Chop the onion and lemon zest until fine. Add the sage, parsley, olive oil, and 1 teaspoon salt and pulse until it forms a coarse paste. Put 2 of the bay leaves and the butter into a small pan and heat over medium-low heat until the butter is bubbling. Remove from the heat and set aside. Put the turkey breasts on a work surface. Carefully run your fingers between the skin and the flesh from 1 end, being careful not to pull it completely off, creating a pocket. Season the turkey breasts generously with salt and pepper. Stuff half of the herb paste under the skin of each breast, and spread it evenly under the skin. Transfer the breasts to the roasting pan, and slide 2 bay leaves underneath each one.

Pour the vinegar over the herbs, and after the vinegar has cooled, place the lid on the container. Set in a cool dark place for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, sanitize the second half of the herbs as previously, rinse, pat dry, and set aside.

Griddle Cooking Station and preheat for 10 minutes. Meanwhile whisk the eggs in a medium bowl until well beaten. Whisk in 1 teaspoon salt and set aside. Put the bacon over medium heat in a single layer. Once the fat starts to render, spread some of it to the low-heat side of the griddle, for the biscuits to cook in. Press the individual biscuits between your hands to help flatten and widen them, then arrange them on the low-heat side in a tight circle. Cover the biscuits with a 12-inch heavy-duty round basting cover or dome and cook until golden on one side, about 8 minutes. Uncover, flip each biscuit, cover again and continue to cook until golden and fluffy on the inside, 8 to 10 minutes more. Meanwhile, as the bacon cooks, move the cooked pieces to the low-heat side of the griddle, positioning them between you and the biscuits; the fat will continue to render and run towards the drain for the biscuits to fry in. When all the bacon is cooked, after about 8 minutes, reduce the medium-heat side to low. Add the spinach, spread it in a single layer and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Spread the spinach out over a rough rectangular area covering about a third of the griddle. Pour the eggs over the spinach and with the back of a large spatula, spread the eggs into an even rectangle. Arrange 2 rows of 4 slices of pepper jack cheese on half of the egg rectangle, then top each slice of cheese with a tomato slice. Using a large metal spatula, flip the plain half of the eggs over the cheese- and tomato-topped half, like a book, to enclose the filling.

Kosher salt 1 tablespoon olive oil, optional
Freshly ground black pepper
1 to 1 1/2 cups all-purpose organic flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup good-quality olive oil for cooking (not extra-virgin normally used in salad dressings) 2 cups shredded Brussels sprouts
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
1/2 tablespoon red cl flakes
4 cups lacinato kale, also known as dinosaur kale (if you don't like kale you can easily use spinach or red Russian kale) 1 cup California walnuts, lightly toasted
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Instructions: For the gnocchi: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with rock salt. Place the russet potatoes on the rock salt-lined baking sheet. Bake until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and halve lengthwise. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. (I like to use an 8-quart pot and fill it most of the way with water.) Add a bit of salt to the water. Once the potatoes are cool enough to touch--don't let them cool completely, you want them to be as warm as possible but still be able to handle them--peel the skins and place the insides in a large bowl. Mash the potatoes until pretty smooth--it is best to run the potatoes through a ricer, but you can even puree them in a food processor. Add the olive oil, if using, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the flour to the mashed potatoes in 1/4 cup intervals, using your hands to work the flour in with each addition. You want to use as little flour as possible to achieve a perfect ball of dough. Once you think you have the right consistency, tear off a tiny piece, roll it into a ball and drop it into the boiling water. If it rises to the top without falling apart, that's good, but you still want to taste it. If it tastes gummy, add flour to the dough by the tablespoon until you get a firmer dough. You can turn the boiling water down to low while you form the gnocchi because this will take a little while. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Tear a piece off and roll into a long rope about 3/4 inch in diameter. Cut the rope in half, then with the two ropes next to each other, slice them into 1/2-inch \pillows.\ At Calafia, we do not pass the gnocchi on a gnocchi board or a fork. After they're cut, we freeze them in an airtight container. Turn the water back up to a boil. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In batches, drop the gnocchi into the boiling water. They will dance around for a while but once they rise to the top and stay there for a couple of seconds, they are done. Use a slotted spoon to remove (don't let them hang at the top of the water for more than a few seconds). Place the gnocchi on the lined baking sheets, making sure that none are touching. Reserve some of the cooking water. You can now serve them in whatever gnocchi recipe you desire, or you can store them for later (see Cook's Note). Enjoy! For the vegan gnocchi with kale: Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Just before the oil starts to smoke, add one serving of the gnocchi cook until the gnocchi begins to turn brown. At this point, add in the shredded Brussels sprouts and cook until they begin to sweat. Then, add the minced garlic and red cl flakes and, once the garlic has become fragrant, add in a small amount of the cooking water you used to boil the gnocchi, just a couple of tablespoons. Add the kale, turn down the heat and allow the kale to cook down. The last ingredient is the toasted California walnuts. You can crush them into the pan as you toss them in so as to have walnuts in every bite. Season with salt and pepper.

Quarter the tomatoes, then slice each quarter into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Combine with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; let sit at room temperature. Grate 3 of the garlic cloves into a 1-quart resealable bag. Add 1/4 cup of the oil, half the lemon zest and juice, and the chicken, and seal the bag tightly. Massage the marinade into the chicken, making sure it is evenly coated. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, grate the remaining garlic clove into the carafe of a blender. Add the avocados, scallions, 1/2 cup water, 1/3 cup of the oil, the remaining lemon zest and juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, and puree until smooth.

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, diced
2 cups dark brown sugar
One 12-ounce bag semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds, toasted
1/3 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
Flaky salt, optional
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange 2 oven racks in the center of the oven. Cover 2 baking sheets with a tight layer of aluminum foil, then place an additional sheet of foil on top. Spray the foil with nonstick spray as a precaution. Spread 2 pieces of matzo in a single layer on each of the baking sheets. In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the butter and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring, until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves and becomes smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then shut off the heat. Use a large spoon to spread the brown sugar mixture over the matzo, coating the tops of all the squares. Bake until the sugar bubbles and browns, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven. In a double boiler or microwave, gently melt the chocolate. Let the matzo cool 10 minutes, then use a rubber spatula to gently spread the melted chocolate over the brown sugar layer. While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle evenly with the pumpkin seeds, apricots, sprinkles and salt, if using. Cool in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden. Use a serrated knife to \saw\ the bark into neat squares or break the matzo into pieces. I like to serve this treat from a cookie tin or a little basket to make it even more fun to eat.

Meanwhile, add the onions to a small bowl. Add the vinegar, 2 tablespoons of the oil, and a healthy pinch of salt, and mix well with your hands. Let the onions sit just until they get pickly, a few minutes.
In a separate small bowl, stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, the lemon juice, and a good pinch of salt until the mixture looks creamy. Combine the tomatoes and cucumber in one bowl, pour in the lemon dressing, and toss gently but well.
Grab a large platter (or 4 to 6 plates) and make a pretty layer of cucumbers and tomatoes, so the colors and types of the vegetables are well divvied up. Give the onions one more toss, then use your hands to add them (reserving their pickly liquid) here and there over the cucumbers and tomatoes. Scatter on the olives and mint. Use your hands to crumble the feta into pieces large, medium, and small as you scatter it on top. Finally, drizzle on the liquid remaining in the onion bowl. Eat straightaway.

Prepare the cupcakes according to the package directions. Transfer to cooling racks and cool completely. In a clean mixer bowl, combine 1 1/2 tubs of the frosting and about 1/4 teaspoon blue food coloring. Beat until smooth and no streaks remain, adding more color if needed to make a light blue frosting. Dollop a tiny bit of blue frosting on the bottom of the liner of one of the cupcakes (this will help anchor it to the serving tray), then dollop a generous amount on top of the cupcake. Anchor the cupcake to a serving tray large enough to hold all 24 cupcakes. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes, arranging them in a 4-by-6 cupcake grid with the edges touching. Using an offset spatula, smooth the blue frosting across the tops of the cupcakes, adding more as necessary, so it appears as 1 layer and the individual cupcakes are no longer visible. Smooth the remaining blue frosting on the sides to cover the cupcakes but not the liners. Put the remaining 1 1/2 tubs white frosting in a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe the outline of a rectangle in white (about 5 by 7 inches) closer to one short edge of the cupcake grid to make the pool. Pipe around the outline of the rectangle all the way to the edges of the cupcake grid with white, leaving the inside of the pool blue. Smooth the white frosting with an offset spatula.
For the decorations: Arrange a row of blue candy-coated chocolates on the white frosting around the perimeter of the pool, then arrange another row of blue candy-coated chocolates around the outer perimeter of the cupcake grid. Fill in between the 2 blue rows with rows of white candy-coated chocolates to make the pool deck. Chill the cake 30 minutes to set the frosting inside the pool. Meanwhile, bring 1/2 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in the blue gelatin until dissolved. Combine a mixture of water and ice in a measuring cup to make 1/2 cup. Stir into the dissolved gelatin until the ice melts. Chill the gelatin mixture while the cake chills. After 30 minutes, pour the gelatin into the pool. Chill until completely set, about 2 hours. Cut 2 strips of sour candy belt, each slightly larger than a graham bear, to make beach towels. Lay 1 bear on each towel and arrange them to relax by the pool. Add a drink umbrella over each to shade them from the sun.
Cut the candy necklaces open where they tie to make 2 long strips. Cut 2 strips the same size as the length of the pool and arrange them over the gelatin for lanes. Gently pull out and discard the strings, keeping the candies in straight lines. Arrange 3 bears around a jawbreaker in the pool to play a game of volleyball. Stick a bear in each gummy ring candy for floaties and add to the pool. Cut the chocolate chew into 4 pieces crosswise to make legs for the diving board. Cut a 1 1/2-inch piece from the white taffy and attach it to the legs to make a diving board. Set at the deep end of the pool and press a bear at the end, ready to dive in.
Cut the green taffy into a rectangle a little larger than a bear. With the back of a paring knife, score lines in the taffy to resemble the puffy parts of a blow-up raft. Stick a bear on the raft and add him to the pool. Stick the remaining bears in the pool to hang out.
