2-Day Chocolate Chip Cookies
PREP TIME: 45 MINUTES
COOK TIME: 20 MINUTES
TOTAL TIME: 2 DAYS 65 MINUTES
INGREDIENTS
Toffee 6 tablespoons (¾ stick) unsalted butter ¾ cup light brown sugar, lightly packed 1 teaspoon kosher salt Water, as needed Cookie Dough 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter 4 ice cubes ¾ cup granulated sugar 1½ cups light brown sugar, packed 2 teaspoons espresso powder 2 teaspoons kosher salt ½ teaspoon baking soda 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2½ cups all-purpose flour 6 ounces 50-70% cacao chocolate, chopped Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling PREPARATION 1. Make the toffee: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. In a medium nonstick saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, brown sugar, and salt, stirring until evenly incorporated. If there are grainy lumps or if the fat starts to separate, add a couple splashes of water and stir vigorously to emulsify. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 290°F (143°C), about 10-15 minutes. 3. Pour the toffee onto the prepared baking sheet and spread out slightly with a spatula. Freeze until ready to use, about 30 minutes. 4. Make the cookie dough: Add the butter to a medium nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns dark brown and smells nutty. Watch carefully so the butter does not burn. Remove the pot from the heat. 5. Add an ice cube to the butter and slowly let it melt. It may froth and bubble. Add the remaining 3 ice cubes and gently stir until melted. 6. In a large bowl, combine the granulated and brown sugar, espresso powder, salt, and baking soda. 7. Pour the brown butter into the sugar mixture and mix until combined. Don’t worry if it looks separated. 8. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla. Pour into the sugar and butter mixture and whisk until glossy and smooth. 9. Add the flour and fold with a rubber spatula to incorporate until the dough has no visible flour streaks. 10. Remove the toffee from the freezer (it should be a frozen disc) and break it into chunks that will fit inside a gallon zip-top bag. Double bag the toffee and seal both bags. With a rolling pin, break the toffee into small pieces. 11. Fold the crushed toffee and chopped chocolate into the dough until evenly distributed. 12. Using a large ice cream scoop or a ½ cup measure, scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Wrap the baking sheet in plastic wrap, but leave a small opening at the corner of the tray. 13. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 48 hours. This will allow the flavor to develop and the dough to dry out a little as it rests, which will result in less spread when it bakes. 14. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line 2 baking sheet with parchment paper. 15. Arrange the cookies on the baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches of space between the cookies and away from the edges of the pan. 16. Bake until the cookies are golden brown with crispy edges, but are still slightly soft in the center, 18-20 minutes. Immediately sprinkle the cookies with flaky sea salt. then let cool completely. The cookies will be very soft at first but will set after they are fully cooled. 17. Enjoy!Show less

Baklava Cheesecake
It's creamy and it's crispy! This baklava cheesecake is the perfect combination if you're looking for something new to impress your guests for this ramadan & eid!
Baklava crust:
1 package of filo pastry sheets 175 g melted butter
Baklava filling:
Combine the following ingredients in a bowl and set aside
200 g crushed pistachio nuts
100 g roasted and crushed hazelnuts
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp kardamum
4 tbsp powdered sugar
6-7 crushed digestive biscuits or biscuits of choice
Cheesecake filling:
600 g creamcheese
220 g sugar
120 g creme fraiche (sour cream)
3 eggs Vanilla extract
Cream the creamcheese with the creme fraiche by hand with a whisk and add the sugar. Then add the eggs with the vanilla extract and mix will till no more lumpy.
In a 22 cm spring form, layer a sheet of filo pastry, brush with butter before adding another layer. I did 4- 6 layers of filo sheets for each layer of baklava filling. (I did 3 layers of each in the bottom before adding the cheesecake mixture, and 3 layers on top) After repeating this 3 times, I added the creamcheese mixture and then did the same for the top layer. Trim the edges with scissors and brush them with butter again. Do NOT cut!
You don't need a waterbath for this recipe, though I do recomend putting a bowl of water under the springform, maybe on the bottom of the oven for the first hour of baking. Bake at 165°C / 320°F (fan) at least 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let it cool down in the oven for 20 min. after turning the heat down and then completely on the countertop. Set in the fridge overnight and then add the sirup.
Sirup:
You can make the simple sirup by combining 230 ml
& of water, 5-10 ml of rose water with 250 g sugar, one slice of lemon & a pinch of cinnamon, bring it to a boil, lower the heat to minimum and let it simmer until it thickens a bit (10-12 min). I also like to use a tiny bit of star anise for extra flavor, that's what gave it the red'ish color. Remember to decorate!

Buttery Meyer Lemon-Chicken Pasta
Serves 4
A super rich yet extremely bright pasta for whenever you need a touch of comfort and see a Meyer lemon at the market. Make sure to save the pasta water once the linguine is done cooking — you’ll most likely want to add some back to your pasta for extra sauce.
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt
1¼ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
12 ounces linguine
1 large Meyer lemon, about 4-5 ounces (regular lemon is OK to substitute)
Freshly ground black pepper
½ cup heavy cream
Instructions:
Heat a large, high-sided saute pan or Dutch oven over medium-low heat and add the butter, ½ cup water and 2 teaspoons salt. Once butter is melted, help dissolve the salt by whisking and froth up the butter in the water. Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise so you have thin cutlets. Add cutlets to the butter broth. Cover with a lid and simmer the bottom side of the chicken for 4 minutes, flip the breasts and simmer until cooked through, about 8-10 minutes total. Turn off heat. Transfer chicken to a plate, let cool and shred into small string-like pieces (the thinner and smaller the better for maximum chicken-to-pasta ratio).
Meanwhile, boil a large pot of salted water (salted like the sea!) and prepare the lemon. Cut the lemon into thin rings, discard any seeds and finely chop the lemon into pea-size pieces or smaller. Set aside.
Add the linguine to the boiling water and cook until al dente. While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken with as much freshly ground pepper as you like (I like a lot, about 2 teaspoons and coarsely ground).
When the linguine is about 3 minutes from being done, add the heavy cream to the butter broth and turn the heat to medium. Once simmering, add the chopped lemon and shredded chicken to the butter broth. Add the cooked linguine to the sauce, with tongs; toss to coat and keep heating until the sauce is cloaking the noodles and pooling at the bottom. If you want more sauce, simply add a small amount of pasta cooking water, toss and add more as needed.
Season the pasta with more salt and serve in bowls or plates with more freshly ground back pepper.
Caramel Sauce
Caramel Sauce:
Take 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of water and mix them in a small pot on stove at medium high temperature and bring to a boil
After 8-12 min or when mix becomes a nice amber color, whisk in 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, 2.5 tsp of vanilla extract.
When the mix emulsifies (it’s all combined), take the mix off the heat and stir in 1/2 a cup of heavy cream .
Pour into a heatproof glass and store (mixture will thicken as it cools)
Ingredients
1 cup (218g) granulated sugar 1/4 cup (65g) water 1/2 cup (114g) heavy cream 5 tablespoons (70g) unsalted butter 1 teaspoon (4g) kosher salt 1 vanilla bean (2g) worth of beans (or 2.5 teaspoons vanilla extract)

Caramelized Onion Galette
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE DOUGH:
1 ½ cups/190 grams all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Kosher salt and black pepper
½ cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 ⅓ cups/4 ounces grated Gruyère
¼ cup ice water
FOR THE ONIONS AND ASSEMBLY:
¼ cup/55 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
4 large sweet onions, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rings
4 fresh thyme sprigs, plus more fresh thyme leaves for serving
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 cup beef broth (or vegetable broth)
¼ cup dry sherry
PREPARATION
Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper. Add butter and 1 cup grated Gruyère to the flour mixture and toss to coat. Using your fingertips, pinch the butter and cheese into the flour to make pebble-size pieces. Drizzle in the ice water and stir to make a shaggy dough. Dump the dough onto a large sheet of plastic wrap and knead a few times to combine. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Prepare the onions: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add onions and thyme sprigs, season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and lightly golden on the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add broth and sherry and cook until the onions are browned and the liquid has mostly evaporated but the mixture is still saucy, 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool for at least 30 minutes.
Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Roll the dough into a 13-inch round on a sheet of parchment. Spread the cooled caramelized onions on the dough, leaving a 1- to 2-inch border. Fold the edges in, over the onions, transfer to a baking sheet and bake until the dough is golden brown and some of the onions have browned on the edges, 40 to 50 minutes, rotating the galette halfway into the baking process.
Remove galette from the oven and sprinkle remaining 1/3 cup grated Gruyère on the crust. Bake another 5 minutes to melt the cheese. Remove and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Top with remaining thyme leaves, for garnish.

Ingredient Substitution Guide
PREPARATION
Rinse cucumbers and pat dry. Cut crosswise into pieces about 4 inches long. Cut each piece in half lengthwise.
On a work surface, place a piece of cucumber (or several) cut side down. Lay the blade of a large knife flat on top the cucumber and smash down lightly with your other hand. The skin will begin to crack, the flesh will break down and the seeds will separate. Repeat until the whole piece is smashed. Break or slice diagonally into bite-size pieces, leaving the seeds behind.
Place the cucumber pieces in a strainer and toss with a big pinch of salt and a big pinch of sugar. Place a plastic bag filled with ice on top of the cucumbers to serve as a weight and place the strainer over a bowl. Let drain 15 to 30 minutes on the counter, or in the refrigerator until ready to serve, up to 4 hours.
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, combine salt, sugar and rice vinegar. Stir until salt and sugar are dissolved. Stir in sesame oil and soy sauce.
When ready to serve, shake cucumbers well to drain off any remaining liquid and transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with grapeseed or olive oil and toss. Add half the dressing, half the garlic and the red pepper flakes to taste, and toss. Keep adding dressing until cucumbers are well coated but not drowned. Taste and add more pepper flakes and garlic if needed. Serve immediately, garnished with cilantro and sesame seeds.

Dig Inn SHEET TRAY CARROTS
INGREDIENTS
2 small bunches of carrots, cut in half lengthwise (quartered if large)
SPICE BLEND
1 ½ tbsp coriander, whole seeds
¼ tsp chili
1 ¼ tsp salt
GREMOLATA
⅓ cup grapeseed oil
1 small bunch marjoram, picked
Peel from 1 lemon, pith removed, lightly chopped
2 ½ tbsp garlic, thinly sliced
2 tbsp parsley leaves
A pinch of salt
DIRECTIONS
ROAST THE CARROTS WITH SPICE BLEND.
Preheat the oven to 425°.
Pulse the coriander in a spice grinder or coffee grinder for 10 seconds or until the seeds are broken up.
In a large mixing bowl combine the crushed coriander, salt, and chili. Toss in the cut carrots and lightly coat with 2 tbsp of grapeseed oil.
Layer the carrots on a sheet tray.
Roast, tossing occasionally, for 35-45 minutes or until tender.
WHILE THE CARROTS ARE ROASTING PREPARE THE FRIZZLED HERBS.
In a small saucepan, place the grapeseed oil, marjoram sprigs, lemon peel, and garlic and turn heat to medium high.
Fry the ingredients for about 5 minutes, mixing occasionally to prevent from sticking.
Once the ingredients begin to crisp up and turn a light golden brown, throw in the remaining parsley and let them crisp for 15 more seconds.
Remove from the oil with a spider and drain on a sheet tray lined with paper towels. Immediately season with salt.
Remove the marjoram stems, which will have fried free of their leaves.
Allow the remaining oil in the saucepan to cool. Set aside.
When the carrots are fully cooked and charred around the edges, remove from oven and toss with the frizzled herbs and a touch more of the reserved oil. Taste, and adjust for seasonings.

• Syrup, preserves, confectioners' sugar or cinnamon sugar
Step 1: Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Step 2: Combine eggs, flour, milk, sugar and nutmeg in a blender jar and blend until smooth. Batter may also be mixed by hand.
Step 3: Place butter in a heavy 10-inch skillet or baking dish and place in the oven. As soon as the butter has melted (watch it so it does not burn) add the batter to the pan, return pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, until the pancake is puffed and golden. Lower oven temperature to 300 degrees and bake five minutes longer.
Step 4: Remove pancake from oven, cut into wedges and serve at once topped with syrup, preserves, confectioners' sugar or cinnamon sugar.

Giant No-flip Blueberry Pancake
Ginger Dill Salmon
INGREDIENTS
1 (1 1/2-pound) salmon fillet, skin-on or skinless
Kosher salt and black pepper
6 tablespoons finely chopped dill
1 (2-inch) piece ginger, scrubbed and finely grated (no need to peel)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1 grapefruit
2 oranges
6 small radishes, cut into thin wedges
1 avocado
Flaky sea salt, for finishing (optional)
Add to Your Grocery List
Ingredient Substitution Guide
PREPARATION
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Pat the salmon dry, then place on the tray skin-side down (if there is skin) and season with salt and pepper.
In a medium bowl, stir together the dill, ginger and olive oil until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Spread half of the dill-ginger mixture over the top of the salmon. Bake until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. (You’ll know the salmon is done when the fish flakes or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part is 120 degrees.)
As the salmon cooks, cut off the top and bottom of the grapefruit and set the grapefruit down on one of the cut sides. Follow the curve of the fruit to cut away the peel and pith. Squeeze the peels into the dill-ginger mixture to get out any juice. Cut the fruit in half from top to bottom, then slice into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons and remove the seeds. If your pieces are especially large, halve them again. Transfer the fruit and any juice on the cutting board to the bowl. Repeat with the oranges. Add the radishes, season generously with salt, and stir gently to combine.
Break the salmon into large pieces, and divide across plates with the citrus salad. Peel and pit the avocado, then quarter lengthwise and add to plates. Season with salt. Spoon the juices from the bowl over top, and season with black pepper, another drizzle of olive oil, and flaky sea salt, if using.

Hong Kong-style egg tarts
Recipe courtesy of Abe Chan!
2-3 mixing bowls
Kitchen scale
Tart mold approx 3 inch diameter, 1 1/4 inch deep (12 molds)
Ideally something with a pouring spout
pie weights/rice/beans
baking paper/paper baking cups
TART SHELLS
250 g plain flour
15 g icing sugar
125 g butter (cold, cut into cubes)
1 egg (beaten)
egg wash
pinch of salt
EGG CUSTARD
2 eggs
150 g hot water
75 g evaporated milk/ 100ml
60 g sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1
Boil water
2
In a mixing bowl, add flour, icing sugar & pinch of salt and mix well. Add in cold butter and rub into flour using your fingers. Rub mixture using your hands until it has a rough, crumbly texture (like coarse sand).
3
Pour mixture onto a baking tray or clean table, make a well in the centre then pour in beaten egg. Gently mix the egg in, then knead mixture using your palm until it forms a smooth dough.
4
Shape dough into a flattened ball, cover with cling wrap, then keep in refrigerator for 1 hour or longer if needed.
5
Meanwhile, add sugar to hot water, and stir until sugar is completely dissolved.
6
In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, evaporated milk & vanilla extract. Add mixture into hot water (with dissolved sugar), and use a whisk to gently combine the ingredients so as not to create too much air in the mixture.
7
Sieve the egg custard mixture two times to ensure the egg custard is completely smooth.
8
Preheat oven to 180C/350F
After chilling, remove dough from refrigerator. Roll out the dough into a flat, thin sheet (<5mm) using a rolling pin. Using a round cookie cutter (around the same size as your egg tart mould), cut out 12 circles from the dough sheet.
9
Place each circle into a tart mould, then using another tart mould, press down onto the dough so as to flatten it and create the zig zag pattern. Use a fork to poke holes at the bottom of the tart shell. Keep the completed ones in the freezer if not baking immediately.
10
Blind bake (by using pie weights, rice or dried beans) the tart shells for around 15 minutes at 180°C/350F. Remove from oven and set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 160°C/320F
EGG CUSTARD
11
Fill each tart shell with egg custard mixture, up to 90% full, avoiding/popping bubbles. Bake in the oven for around 25-30minutes. If they start puffing up, lower the temp by 20F or open the oven door. To check if the egg tarts are ready, insert a toothpick into the centre of the egg tart. If the toothpick can stand upright, the egg tarts are ready. If the toothpick falls, bake the egg tarts a little longer.

Kontomire (Spinach Stew)
INGREDIENTS
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
½ cup palm oil or vegetable oil
1 medium red onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons minced ginger (1 ounce)
1 habanero chile, seeds and ribs removed, minced (include seeds if you love heat)
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2½ pounds plum tomatoes, chopped
¾ cup egusi or raw shelled pumpkin seeds
4 teaspoons African smoked dried shrimp powder (or 2½ teaspoons smoked paprika plus some fish sauce)
1 pound spinach, washed, dried and roughly chopped
3 large sweet (yellow) plantains, peeled and boiled in salted water until just tender
Step 1
In a Dutch oven, warm the palm oil over medium heat, and add the onions, garlic, ginger, chile and a couple pinches of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown and sweet, about 15 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, and cook for 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and a few generous pinches of salt. Bring to a boil, lower heat to a simmer and partly cover the pan. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has cooked to a rich tomato-soup consistency, about 25 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, pulse the egusi or pumpkin seeds in a food processor or blender to a fine powder, until it just starts to get clumpy. (Do not overprocess into a butter.) Remove to a bowl.
Step 3
When the tomatoes have reduced, add the shrimp powder (or smoked paprika and fish sauce to taste), and simmer 2 minutes. Stir in water, a tablespoon at a time, to the bowl of egusi powder until it is a loose paste. Add the egusi paste on top of the tomato sauce, and spread it out. Cover the pan, and cook 5 minutes.
Step 4
Stir the sauce all together; it will look like a thick porridge. Add a few splashes of water, and increase heat to a boil. Stir in the spinach, until wilted and tender. Taste, season with salt (or more fish sauce, if using) and serve with boiled sweet plantains.

Mango Pie
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE GRAHAM-CRACKER CRUST:
2 ½ cups (280 grams) finely ground graham-cracker crumbs
⅓ cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
1 large pinch sea salt
9 tablespoons (128 grams) unsalted butter, melted
FOR THE MANGO CUSTARD:
¾ cup cold water
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons plus 1/4 teaspoon powdered gelatin (2 1/2 packages at 2 1/2 teaspoons per pack)
½ cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 30-ounce can Alphonso mango purée (3 1/4 cups)
1 large pinch sea salt
PREPARATION
Stir crumbs, sugar, cardamom and salt together in a medium bowl. Add butter, and stir with a fork until evenly combined.
Pour half the crumb mixture into a 9-inch round metal pie pan, and spread evenly. Press down with fingers, a metal measuring cup or a second pie pan to compact the crumbs as much as possible across the bottom and up the sides of the pan into an even crust. (The more compressed the crust, the less it will crumble.) Repeat to form the remaining crumb mixture into a crust in a second pan.
Heat oven to 325. Transfer both crusts to freezer, and chill for 15 minutes. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Place 3/4 cup cold water in a large bowl. In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup sugar with the gelatin; sprinkle mixture evenly over the surface of the cold water. Let sit a few minutes to bloom.
In the meantime, whip the cream and remaining 1/4 cup sugar together until medium-stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm 1 cup of the mango purée to body temperature (stir to make sure you are just warming it and not bringing it to a boil). Pour warmed mango purée over gelatin mixture, and whisk until well combined. Gelatin should dissolve into mango completely. Gradually whisk in remaining mango purée.
Use a rubber spatula to beat the cream cheese in a medium bowl until it is soft and smooth, then add to mango mixture along with a large pinch of sea salt. Use an immersion blender to blend until completely smooth, tipping the bowl to make sure you’ve incorporated everything well. Gently tap the bowl on the counter once or twice to pop any air bubbles. Use the spatula to gently fold about 1/4 of the mango mixture into the whipped cream, then fold cream into the larger amount of mixture until no streaks remain.
Divide custard between cooled crusts. Use a rubber spatula to smooth out the filling. Refrigerate 5 hours or overnight until firm and chilled. Serve chilled.

Mango Tres Leches Cake
INGREDIENTS
5 tablespoons butter, melted, plus more to grease pan
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup plus 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar, more to taste
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon plus a pinch fine sea salt
6 large eggs, separated
⅓ cup plus 3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
2 cups cubed very ripe mango
1 can (15 ounces) unsweetened coconut milk
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
¼ cup Spanish brandy or Cognac
1 ½ cups heavy cream
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
PREPARATION
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch-by-13-inch baking pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 3/4 cup of the sugar, the baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, melted butter, 3 tablespoons of the milk and vanilla.
Using an electric mixer set on medium, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until thick, fluffy and white but before peaks form. Add 1/4 cup of sugar, a little at a time, and continue beating until the whites are glossy and firm peaks form when the beaters are lifted.
Whisk half the flour mixture into the yolks (it will seem like paste). Whisk a quarter of the egg whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in another quarter of the whites. Sift half of the remaining flour mixture over the batter and fold in. Fold in another quarter of the egg whites followed by the rest of the sifted flour and finally the rest of the whites. Scrape batter into the pan and smooth the top with the spatula. Bake until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool.
Meanwhile in a blender or food processor, purée the mango with 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar, or to taste depending upon how sweet your mango is.
When the cake is cool, use a fork to poke holes all over the top, then cut the cake into 18 pieces, but don’t take the pieces out of the pan.
In a small saucepan over medium heat stir together the coconut milk, condensed milk, remaining 1/3 cup milk, brandy and a pinch of salt. Heat until steaming, then pour it evenly over the cake. Cover and chill the cake for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Just before serving, whip the cream with the cinnamon and half of the puréed mango until thick and mousse-like. Taste and add more sugar if it tastes flat. Spread the mango cream on the cake, then dollop on the remaining mango purée. Use a spatula to swirl the mango purée into a marble-like pattern. Or use the purée as a sauce when you serve the cake.
Mangonada
INGREDIENTS
5 large ripe mangoes (about 15 ounces each), peeled, pitted and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 8 cups), or 2 1/2 pounds frozen mango, defrosted
¼ cup granulated sugar, or to taste
¼ cup fresh lime juice (from 2 fresh limes)
1 ½ cups cold water, or as needed
¾ cup silver tequila or rum (optional)
¾ to 1 cup chamoy
Tajín, to taste
4 tamarind candy straws (optional)
STEPS
Place 5 cups mango in a blender, reserving the remaining mango. Add the sugar, lime juice and 3/4 cup cold water to the blender, and blend on medium-high speed until puréed. Blend in tequila or rum, if using. Blend in additional water, adding 1/4 cup at a time, until mango mixture reaches the desired consistency.
Chill mango mixture, covered, in refrigerator until ready to serve. For a colder mangonada, transfer mixture to the freezer until it reaches the consistency of a slushy.
To serve, pour or scoop about 1/2 cup of mango mixture into each of four 16-ounce glasses. Add about 1/3 cup reserved mango to each glass, followed by 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons chamoy and a generous sprinkle of Tajín. Repeat with the remaining mango mixture, mango pieces, chamoy and a final sprinkling of Tajín on top. Garnish each glass with a tamarind candy straw, if using, and a spoon. Serve immediately.

Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
¼cup all-purpose flour
3tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
3tablespoons unsalted butter
3garlic cloves, chopped
1tablespoon tomato paste
½teaspoon dried oregano

Add to Your Grocery List
Ingredient Substitution Guide
PREPARATION
Step 1
If using chicken breasts, start from the thickest end and slice each chicken breast in half horizontally so you end up with a total of 6 cutlets (see Tip). Season both sides of the chicken cutlets well with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Scatter the flour on a large plate and coat the cutlets, shaking off the excess. Transfer the cutlets to a sheet pan or large plate in a single layer.
Step 3
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high. Once hot, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. As soon as it melts, add the cutlets and cook until golden on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook the other side until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Do this in batches, if needed, adding more oil, if needed. Transfer the cutlets to a plate or sheet pan.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low, add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste, stirring until the color deepens, about 2 minutes. Add the oregano and red-pepper flakes, to taste. Increase the heat to medium, add the stock and bring to a simmer, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan, until the liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Add ½ cup of the cream and warm through, stirring, until it thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Watch the cream closely, reducing the heat if necessary, to maintain a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan and the sun-dried tomatoes. Add more cream, if you like, and season the sauce. Place the chicken back in the pan to warm through, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and scatter basil on top.

Instructions:
1. Prepare the Mint Syrup:
• In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water.
• Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
• Remove from heat and add the fresh mint leaves.
• Let the mint steep in the syrup for about 10 minutes, then strain out the leaves and let the syrup cool completely.

Pastel de Nata Blondies
INGREDIENTS:
Caramelised Puff Pastry:
* 1 sheet puff pastry, cut to the size of your baking tin (23cm square)
* Icing sugar
Blondie:
* 220g unsalted butter
* 2 large eggs, plus one egg yolk
* 250g golden caster sugar
* 200g plain flour
* 1 tsp salt
* 2 tsp vanilla bean paste
* 1/2 tsp cinnamon
For the custard:
- 30 g plain flour
- 300ml milk (I used soya milk)
- 260g golden caster sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 160ml water
- 2 strips lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 6 large egg yolks
METHOD:
1. Prepare the pastry. Preheat your oven to 200C fan. Place the cut puff pastry on a sheet of baking paper on a baking tray. Dust ONE side liberally with icing sugar, then cover with another sheet of baking paper and another baking tray to weigh it down. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Then, remove the top tray, and if still not golden, dust with more icing sugar and bake for another 5 minutes until golden and caramelised (watch carefully so sugar doesn’t burn). Turn down oven to 170c Fan.
2. Place the butter in a saucepan on a medium heat, stirring continuously for about 10 minutes, until browned and nutty. Immediately transfer to a large bowl. To the butter, add in caster sugar and vanilla bean paste and whisk to combine.
3. Once the mixture is cool, whisk in one egg at a time and the additional egg yolk until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cinnamon and salt together, then fold this into the wet mixture until just combined.
5. Add the caramelised puff pastry to the bottom of a 23cm x 23cm tin lined with greaseproof paper, making sure the sugared side is facing up. Pour the blondie batter over this and smooth out, then bake for 15 minutes, until just starting to set.
6. Whilst the blondie is baking, make the custard. Combine about 60ml of the milk with the flour and whisk to form a smooth paste. Heat the remaining milk until hot but not boiling and then slowly pour this into the flour paste, whisking constantly.
7. Then make the sugar syrup - combine the sugar, water, cinnamon stick and lemon zest and set this on a low to medium heat and do not stir.Once the sugar dissolves, bring to a boil until it reaches 105C on a sugar thermometer.
8. Carefully remove the cinnamon stick and zest (the syrup will be very hot) then slowly pour the hot syrup into the milk mixture in a steady stream, whisking constantly.
9. Then, ladle the hot milk mixture into the bowl with the egg yolks, whisking the yolks constantly. Once all the milk has been added, strain this into a jug, and finally add in the vanilla bean paste. This is a thin custard so don't fret.
10. Once the blondie comes out the oven, turn the oven up to 245C (fan) - basically super hot!
11. Holding an upturned spoon over the blondie, carefully pour the custard over the spoon onto blondie layer. Bake this at the high temperature for 17-20 minutes, rotating the pan if needed to make sure the caramelization covers all areas of the custard. The custard should have a slight wobble in the middle but be mostly set.
12. Let this cool down in the tin at room temperature, then place this in the fridge for about 4 hours, or overnight, to cool down and harden completely.
13. Carefully slide a knife around the set custard to remove the blondies from the tin. Then mix cinnamon with some icing sugar and dust this over the blondies.
14. Cut into small squares and enjoy.

Rellenos de Papa (Stuffed Potato Balls)
Rhubarb Upside Down Cake
INGREDIENTS
Yield:8 servings
2½sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature, more to grease pans
1½pounds rhubarb, rinsed and sliced into ½-inch cubes about 4 cups
2teaspoons cornstarch
1½cups granulated sugar
½cup light brown sugar
2cups cake flour
1¼teaspoons baking powder
½teaspoon fine sea salt
Zest of 1 lemon, grated
1teaspoon vanilla extract
4large eggs
⅓cup sour cream
2teaspoons lemon juice
PREPARATION
Step 1
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Butter the paper and sides of the pan. Wrap two layers of foil under the pan, and place it on a baking sheet.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix rhubarb, cornstarch and ½ cup granulated sugar.
Step 3
Mix the brown sugar and ½ stick butter in a pan over medium heat. Whisk until smooth and bubbling, about 2 minutes. Sift together the cake flour, baking powder and salt.
Step 4
Whip 2 sticks butter in a mixer with a paddle attachment for 2 minutes. With your fingers, blend the remaining 1 cup sugar with lemon zest until the mixture is uniform in color. Cream together with the butter at medium-high speed until it is light and fluffy, about 4 minutes, stopping to scrape down the bowl halfway through. Add the vanilla and mix well. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the sour cream, then the lemon juice. (It’s O.K. if the mixture looks curdled.) With the mixer set to low speed, add the flour mixture, ¼ cup at a time, until well combined. Scrape down the mixer bowl in between the additions.
Step 5
Pour the brown-sugar mixture into the cake pan, then spoon in the rhubarb and its juices. Spoon in the batter so it covers all of the rhubarb. Smooth out the top.
Step 6
Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the top of the cake is firm to touch and a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out without any large, moist crumbs.
Step 7
Place the pan on a wire rack, and cool for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the cake, place a plate on top of the pan and turn it upside-down. Release the cake from the pan while still warm or else it will stick.
