Baked Apple Cider Donuts – Time to Make the Donuts

While attending culinary school, one of my summer internships involved working at the school-owned, Hotel Saranac. Students would draw lots to see which department they’d be assigned to, and I was very happy when I learned I’d be working in the bakery. Even at that young age, I’d had lots of... to read the rest of Chef John's article about this Baked Apple Cider Donuts recipe, please follow this link to become a member.)

Beef Birria – Stewing Towards Tacos

This beef birria is based on two things; an amazing stewed beef recipe from the Mexican restaurant I worked in during college, as well as the equally incredible goat birrias I’ve been enjoying in San Francisco’s Mission District for many years.

Loaded Butternut Squash "Cordon Bleu" – Developed After Countless Minutes of Research

Rocky Road – Take Me Home, To The Place, I Was Born

As a young kid, growing up in Shortsville, NY, my favorite ice cream was Rocky Road. I can remember riding my bike to Bud’s Polar Bar during those always too-hot summers, and not only enjoying Rocky Road ice cream on its own, but in the form of their Rocky Road sundae, which featured the nut and marshmallow studded chocolate ice cream, covered with marshmallow sauce, and even more nuts. The point I’m trying to get across is that I... to read the rest of Chef John's article about Rocky Road, please follow this link to become a member.)

Polish Poppy Seed Rolls – I was the Mary Z of My Poppy Seed

I was all set to film a traditional Polish Poppy Seed Roll, which is baked in a loaf, and sliced, but then I saw a photo of the same ingredients used to create individual rolls, and decided that was the way I wanted to go.
