Hello comrades!
Greetings from “my next book, Book Three,” which is now due in 43 days. I have been somewhat irrationally optimistic throughout this process, and am feeling amazing about the recipe development. Last night, though, as I was sorting out my planner for the week (a Sunday ritual), the first Tinkerbells of alarms went off. Honestly, good. I could use 10% more fear and anxiety to help counteract the “I don’t feel like its” that assault me daily.
Anyhoo, because you are special and important to me, I’d like to drop one of the new recipes here as an exclusive, and thought I’d let you choose which one!
Although I have now quite publicly declared I’m not producing long form videos for YouTube, I want to play around with thenew Substack in-app video tools. I’ll demo the recipe that takes top prize as my first Live video here, and do some Q&A while I’m at it! Are we into that?
Without further ado, here are the new creations.
Truly Floofy Vanilla Pancakes
My goal was a pancake with crispy edges and poofy inners, and that goal was achieved. A platonic ideal pancake, in my book (and on the opposite end of the spectrum from Cosmo’s Power Pancakes).
Scallops with Cumin-Chile Brown Butter
There is almost nothing as satisfying as getting a sear like this on a scallop. The spiced butter is decidedly not French, and the whole thing is served over rice.
Cherry-Cacao Granola
I used the same no-stir method that’s in Where Cooking Begins and took it to a Cadbury Fruit & Nut Chocolate Bar place. Not too sweet, nice amount of salt. Excellent morning, noon, and night!
Coconut Chipotle Chicken
Please ‘scuse the indoor night kitchen photo! Not the cutest. This recipe for braised chicken thighs, though? Stunning.
Toasted Sesame Cake
Somewhere between a pound cake and an olive oil cake in texture, laced with sesame seeds, flavored with toasted sesame oil and miso … I can’t get over her.
Voting is now open! Excited to see who reigns supreme!
