Honey-Vanilla Almond Cake JUMP TO RECIPE Prep30 mins Cook35 mins Active20 mins Cooling Time60 mins Total2 hrs 5 mins Serves10 to 12 servings Makes1 cake Ingredients Unsalted butter, for greasing the pan 1 1/2 cups skin-on or blanched whole almonds, or 1 3/4 cups almond flour (see note) 4 large eggs at room temperature, yolks and whites separated 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey, divided Scraped seeds from 1/2 of a split vanilla bean pod 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon kosher salt 2-3 drops juice from 1 whole lemon Sliced almonds, for decorating (optional)Directions Preheat oven to 350°F and position rack in center of oven. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper, then grease parchment with butter. If using whole almonds, process in a food processor until finely ground. Sift ground almonds through a flour sifter; set aside coarse almond pieces that don't pass through sifter for another use. You should have 1 3/4 cups almond flour. Alternatively, if using store-bought almond flour, proceed to Step 4. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle, beat egg yolks, 1/2 cup honey, vanilla bean, baking soda, and salt until well combined and lightened in color, about 5 minutes. Add almond flour and beat at low speed until combined, about 1 minute longer. Using a clean stand-mixer bowl and the whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites at low speed until foamy. Add 2-3 drops of lemon juice, increase mixer speed to medium, and mix until soft peaks form, about 10 minutes. Fold 1/3 of beaten egg whites into almond flour batter, stirring well to thoroughly incorporate. Fold half of remaining egg whites into batter as gently as possible, being careful not to deflate whites. Repeat with remaining egg whites. Scrape batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25 minutes (do not open the oven or move the cake during this time, as it can fall). Rotate cake gently and bake until cake feels solid in the middle when tapped and is a uniform dark brown color, about 10 minutes longer. Meanwhile, warm remaining 2 tablespoons honey in a small saucepan or microwave. Brush cake with warmed honey as soon as it comes out of the oven. Remove the springform pan's outer ring and let cake stand until cool. Decorate cake top with sliced almonds, if desired. Serve once cooled. Cake can be stored overnight at room temperature before serving.Special Equipment 9-inch springform cake pan, food processor (optional), stand mixer, parchment paperNotes This recipe works with whole skin-on almonds, whole blanched almonds, and store-bought almond meal. If you use whole almonds, you will have to grind them into a flour in a food processor, and then sift out the larger pieces (which can be toasted and used as a topping for ice cream or yogurt). 1 1/2 cups whole almonds should yield the 1 3/4 cups of almond flour you will need (the flour has more volume than the whole almonds you start out with). Skin-on almonds will yield a darker-colored cake with a more complex, earthy flavor, while blanched (skinned) almonds will yield a lighter, more delicate cake.

Basque Cheesecake JUMP TO RECIPE Prep50 mins Cook52 mins Active60 mins Cooling Time5 hrs Total6 hrs 42 mins Serves12 servings Makes1 cheesecake Ingredients 32 ounces (900 g) full-fat cream cheese, such as Philadelphia, brought to about 70°F (21°C) 9 1/2 ounces sugar (about 1 1/3 cups; 270 g), plus 1 tablespoon (15 g), divided 5 large eggs, at room temperature 2 large yolks (30 g) from 2 large eggs 8 fluid ounces heavy cream (240 ml), at room temperature 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (8 g; 10 ml) Finely grated zest of 1 whole lemon (about 1 1/2 teaspoons; 45 g) 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt; for table salt use half as much by volume or the same weight 2 tablespoons (20 g) all-purpose flourDirections Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut two 12- by 16-inch pieces of parchment paper. Arrange the 12- by 16-inch pieces of parchment in an overlapping pattern to line a greased 9- by 3-inch springform cake pan, leaving at least 1 to 3 inches of parchment overhanging the rim of the pan on all sides. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine cream cheese and 9 1/2 ounces (270g) sugar. Mix on medium-low speed, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, until no lumps of cheese remain, sugar is dissolved, and mixture is smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. With mixer on medium-low speed, add eggs one at a time, beating for 10 seconds before adding the next. Add egg yolks, and beat on low speed until fully incorporated, 5 to 10 seconds. Stop the mixer and scrape down sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula, making sure the mixture is smooth and homogenous. Add cream, vanilla, lemon zest, and salt. Mix on low speed until fully combined and smooth, about 15 seconds. Using a fine-mesh strainer, sift flour over batter. Beat on low speed just until combined, 15 to 30 seconds, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Pour batter into prepared pan, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour. When ready to bake, remove cake pan from refrigerator, set on a rimmed baking sheet, and sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon (15g) sugar evenly over surface of batter. Bake cheesecake, rotating pan 180 degrees halfway, until cheesecake jiggles as a whole, surface is deeply browned, and the outer edge feels slightly firm but the inner 4 1/2 to 5 inches still seems wobbly and underdone, 50 to 60 minutes. You can also check doneness with an instant-read thermometer: the cheesecake is done when the very center registers between 150 and 155?F (65.5 to 68?C) when an instant-read thermometer is inserted to a depth of 2 inches. For a more deeply browned top, see notes below. Let cheesecake cool in the pan on a wire rack at room temperature for 1 hour. Refrigerate uncovered for at least 4 hours before unmolding. To unmold the cheesecake, unlatch springform pan and remove pan sides. Holding by parchment overhang, carefully transfer cake to a cutting board or serving plate. Gently peel back parchment from sides of cheesecake, and use a sharp knife to cut into wedges. Serve chilled or allow the cheesecake to come to room temperature before serving. Leftover cheesecake can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days.Special Equipment 9-inch springform pan, stand mixer, fine-mesh strainer, rimmed baking sheet Notes If you’d like more color on your cheesecake you can give it a brief stint under the broiler with your oven rack positioned about 7 inches from the top heating element. Be sure to keep a close eye on it as it can go from brown to burned very quickly. Make-Ahead and Storage The cheesecake can be made up to 3 days in advance; once cooled to room temperature after baking, wrap tightly with plastic and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Italian-American Beef Braciole JUMP TO RECIPE Prep20 mins Cook3 hrs Total3 hrs 20 mins Serves4 to 6 Ingredients For the Braciole: 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (about 1 1/4 ounces; 40 g) 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (2 ounces; 55 g) 1 loosely packed cup flat-leaf parsley leaves and tender stems (1/2 ounce; 15 g), finely chopped 1/4 cup (20 g) pine nuts, lightly toasted and roughly chopped 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil 1 medium garlic clove (5 g), minced 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1 1/2 pound (675 g) top round beef roast, or 6 store-bought pre-sliced thin (1/4- to 1/8-inch-thick) top round steaks (about 1 1/2 pounds; 675 g) (see notes) 3/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt; for table salt, use half as much by volume 6 large, thin slices prosciutto (about 4 ounces; 115 g) For the Sauce: 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil 1 small yellow onion, diced (4 ounces; 115 g) 1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt, plus more for seasoning; for table salt, use half as much by volume 3 medium garlic cloves (15 g), minced 1/2 cup (120 ml) dry white wine One 28-ounce (794 g) can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed by hand into 1/2-inch chunks 1 1/2 cups (240 g) waterDirections Arrange oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). For the Braciole: In a medium bowl, add breadcrumbs, Parmigiano-Reggiano, parsley, pine nuts, olive oil, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and red pepper flakes and stir until well combined. Set aside. If using a top round roast, slice roast into six 1/2 -inch slices. If using pre-sliced beef, skip to Step 5. Lay steak slices 3 inches apart on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Using meat pounder, flatten slices into rough rectangles measuring no more than 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle both sides of steaks with salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Spread the reserved breadcrumb mixture evenly over steaks, then place 1 slice of prosciutto over each breadcrumb-topped steak, folding prosciutto to fit and pressing firmly into steak. Being careful to keep filling in place and starting from a short end of each steak, roll each steak to form a small bundle. Tie each bundle with 2 pieces of kitchen twine to secure. For the Sauce: In a large sauté pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add braciole bundles and brown on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer browned braciole to a clean plate; set aside. Add onion and salt to the now-empty pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until just fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and cook until mixture reduces by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and water. Nestle the browned braciole bundles into the sauce and bring the sauce to a simmer. Cover the pan with an oven-safe lid or aluminum foil. Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Cook, covered, flipping braciole halfway through, for 90 minutes. Carefully remove the lid, flip the braciole again, and continue to cook until the meat is fully tender and sauce thickened to gravy-like consistency, 15 to 45 minutes longer. Season sauce with salt to taste. Use scissors to cut off twine around each bundle. Transfer braciole to a large serving platter or individual plates and spoon sauce overtop. Serve.Special Equipment 12-inch oven-safe sauté pan with lid, butchers twine, meat pounder (if slicing steaks yourself) Notes I strongly encourage you ask your butcher to slice the beef for you, or use thin pre-sliced top round steaks, sometimes sold as “braciole steaks,” can be found in some supermarkets, Italian grocers, or butchers. If cutting steaks from a top round roast yourself, look for a longer, oval shaped roast to create longer thin steaks for wrapping. Make-Ahead and Storage Cooked braciole with sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Source: Serious E

In a large heavy bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat ghee over medium heat until shimmering. Add the bay leaves, cardamom, mastic resin (if using), black peppercorns, allspice, and cinnamon, and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Working in batches to avoid crowing the pot, add beef in a single layer (you can leave the whole spices in the pot). Increase heat to medium-high and cook, turning occasionally, until beef is browned all over, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate with the whole spices and repeat with remaining beef. Add onion and garlic to the pot and cook over medium-high heat until beginning to blister, about 1 minute. Return beef and whole spices to the pot along with any accumulated juices. Stir in hot water (the water should cover the beef by about 1 inch; if necessary, add additional water) along with parsley stalks, cumin, coriander, paprika, and cayenne. Bring the broth to a boil over medium-high; let boil for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and let the broth simmer gently, uncovered, until the beef is fork-tender and the broth becomes fragrant and laden with flavors, about 2 hours; occasionally skim and discard any fat that rises to the surface. Season with salt and add beef bouillon cube, if desired. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh strainer set over a large heatproof bowl. Transfer the cooked beef cubes to a separate plate, discarding onion, garlic, parsley stalks, and whole spices, then cover broth loosely to keep warm. Transfer the broth to a clean medium saucepan, skimming and discarding any fat on the surface; you should have 4 cups of broth (if necessary, add additional water to reach 4 cups). Cover to keep warm. For the Rice: In a large saucepan, heat ghee over medium heat until shimmering. Add the bay leaves, cardamom, and mastic resin (if using) and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and mastic has melted, about 1 minute.

Philly Cheesesteaks JUMP TO RECIPE Prep25 mins Cook15 mins Freezing60 mins Total100 mins Serves2 Ingredients 1 pound (454 g) boneless rib eye steak or skirt steak or store-bought pre-sliced rib eye (see notes) 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil or other neutral oil 1/2 medium yellow onion (4 ounces; 114 g), cut into 1/4-inch dice 8 thin slices provolone cheese (about 6 ounces; 160 g), 4 slices torn into 1-inch pieces and 4 slices left whole 2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (optional) 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt; for table salt use half as much by volume 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Two 7- to 8-inch-long Italian hoagie/sub rolls, split lengthwise, but left attached on 1 side to create a hingeDirections If using a whole steak, trim and cut steak crosswise with grain into roughly 3-inch wide sections, then set on large plate and freeze until firm but not frozen solid, about 1 hour. If using pre-sliced steak, skip to chopping instructions in Step 2. Using a sharp knife, shave steak as thin as possible on a biased angle against the grain. Mound shaved meat on cutting board and chop coarse with knife, about 5 times for store-bought sliced meat or 10 times for hand-sliced. Heat an empty 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Add oil to skillet and heat until just smoking. Add meat and onion in an even layer and cook, without stirring, until well browned on one side, 4 to 6 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring frequently to move and pull apart the meat slices until meat and onions are browned and meat is no longer pink, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in torn provolone cheese, Parmesan cheese (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted and well combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off heat. Divide mixture into 2 individual portions the length of the rolls. Shingle 2 slices of Provolone cheese over each portion. Cover and let cheese melt, about 1 minute. Center rolls, cut sides down, over each portion of meat. Working with one at a time, use a large spatula to scoop under each portion of meat and flip meat into roll to create a filled sandwich. Serve immediately.Make-Ahead and Storage Absolutely not.Special Equipment 12-inch cast-iron skillet with lid or large cast-iron flat griddle pan or planchaNotes While I prefer rib eye steak in this recipe, skirt steak will work just as well. You may also use store-bought pre-sliced well marbled steak found at some supermarkets like Wegmans and many Asian market chains like H-Mart. If using pre-sliced steak, still run a knife through mound of meat about 5 times at the end of Step 2. If you have a cast-iron flat griddle pan or plancha, this is the time to use it. Position and center (over two burners if needed) for even heating of the pan. While written for an indoor stovetop, this recipe works great in a cast-iron skillet cooked outside on a grill, which is a great way to avoid grease splatter in your kitchen. Preheat the grill as usual, then preheat the empty cast-iron skillet on a preheated grill on high heat, with lid closed, for 5 minutes. Proceed with the recipe. Provolone cheese can range from mild to very sharp. Go with your personal preference, but the cheese should be sliced thin and melt easily. You may also substitute with equal weight Cheese Whiz or American cheese in this recipe. This recipe can easily be cut in half to make 1 serving. Alternatively, it may also be doubled and cooked through in 2 separate batches to serve 4. Source: Serious Eats ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO

Chicken Cordon Bleu This approachable recipe for a classic dish is great for date night or a weekend dinner and loaded with cheesy goodness thanks to Land O Lakes? Cheese Cubes. 20 minPrep Time 1 hr 15 minTotal Time 4servings Ingredients 2 (8-ounce) chicken breasts Salt and pepper, to taste 4 thin slices (2 ounces) deli ham 24 (3 ounces) Land O Lakes? Gouda & Havarti Cheese Cubes 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 cup panko bread crumbs 1 Half Stick (1/4 cup) Land O Lakes? Butter, melted 1 teaspoon garlic salt 1 teaspoon paprika *Substitute equal amount of Land O Lakes? Creamy Italian Cheese Cubes. How to make STEP 1 Cut each chicken breast horizontally to create 2 same-size cutlets for 4 cutlets total. Place cutlet between 2 pieces plastic food wrap; pound to even 1/4" thickness. Repeat with remaining cutlets. Lightly season each cutlet with salt and pepper. STEP 2 Place 1 slice ham on top of each seasoned cutlet; arrange as needed to cover most of surface. Place 6 cheese cubes on each slice ham. Roll each cutlet, tucking ends as needed to enclose filling. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic food wrap. Transfer to plate. Refrigerate 30 minutes or up to 1 day. STEP 3 Heat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. STEP 4 Mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in small bowl. Mix panko, melted butter, garlic salt and paprika in shallow bowl. Remove rolled chicken from plastic wrap. Spread about 1 tablespoon Dijon mixture over each roll, coating all sides. Press firmly into panko crumbs to coat entire roll. Place coated chicken rolls onto prepared baking sheet. STEP 5 Bake 25-30 minutes or until deep golden brown and internal temperature of chicken reaches at least 165°F. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Tip #1 To ensure evenly sized chicken breasts, head to your butcher counter. Not only will they select 8-ounce breasts, you can also ask for the chicken to be fileted and pounded allowing you to skip that step at home. Tip #2 If there are any loose edges when you unwrap chilled chicken rolls, secure with toothpicks. Remember how many you use so you can remove after baking! Source: Land O Lakes ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO

Turkey Meatloaf for Skeptics Servings: 4 Time: 25 minutes prep, 35 minutes to bake Source: Smitten Kitchen Keepers Note: This is a small-sized meatloaf, and it works for my family of four. It doubles easily, either as two small loaves (baking time the same) or one larger, freeform loaf that will take between 60 and 70 minutes in the oven. Meatloaf 1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped 1 garlic clove, smashed 1 slim carrot, roughly chopped Olive oil Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup (30 grams) panko-style breadcrumbs 1/4 cup (60 grams) chicken broth 1 1/2 teaspoons tomato paste 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon (15 grams) Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 1 large egg 1 pound (455 grams) ground turkey, preferably a mix of dark and light meat, or just darkGlaze 1 heaped (20 grams) tablespoon ketchup 1 tablespoon molasses 1 tablespoon (15 grams) apple-cider vinegar 1 teaspoon hot sauce of your choice (optional) 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Heat the oven: To 350°F (175°C). Prepare the meatloaf: Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish or small sheet pan with nonstick spray. Very finely dice the onion, garlic, and carrot on a cutting board with a knife, or in a food processor. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, coat the bottom with olive oil, and heat it for a minute; then add the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to brown, about 7 to 10 minutes; transfer them to a large bowl. Add the breadcrumbs, broth, tomato paste, mustard, Worcestershire, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, and ? teaspoon pepper, and stir to combine. Add the egg by beating it directly into the vegetable mixture (I like to use a fork). Add the turkey, and combine just until the vegetable-egg mixture is dispersed through the meat. Pat the turkey mixture into about a 4-by-8-inch shape in your prepared pan. Make the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the glaze ingredients. Brush or spoon the glaze over the meatloaf. Bake: Bake the meatloaf for 30 to 35 minutes, until the internal temperature is 160°F (70°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, you can insert a knife into the center and hold it there for 10 seconds. You should feel no resistance, and when you pull it out, the blade should feel hot. Source: Smitten Kitchen ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO

Lemon Chicken with Potatoes and Chickpeas Servings: 4 Time: 10 minutes prep; 55 to 60 minutes in the oven Source: Smitten Kitchen, but with inspiration from Clare de Boer Note: I’ve finished this with capers, with chopped green olives, and even once with some lightly dressed arugula (lemon, olive oil, salt, and pepper) but even with none of those things or a handful of parsley, as shown here, this dish is perfect and fits the bill for overly busy days. 2 lemons, halved 1 teaspoon dried oregano, divided Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 4 medium-large bone-in chicken thighs (about 2.25 pounds total) 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus an additional drizzle 1 large yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 3/4 pound yukon gold potatoes (about 3 medium), unpeeled, each cut into 8 wedges Big handful chopped flat-leaf parsley, to finish Prepare the chicken thighs: In a large bowl, juice half of one lemon and whisk in 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano and I use 1 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond brand; use less of others) per pound of chicken. Add chicken thighs and turn them over in the lemon juice mixture so they’re coated. You can either finish the dish right away, or if you’re getting ahead for later, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill until needed. Heat oven: To 450°F (yes, really!) Assemble dish: Halve and very thinly slice second half of first lemon, fishing out any lemon seeds. In a 9×13-inch baking dish (or lasagna pan), combine lemon slices, 3 tablespoons olive oil, onion, garlic, remaining 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and many grinds of black pepper. Add potato wedges and chickpeas and stir until everything is evenly mixed and coated. Remove chicken thighs from bowl and place them atop the potato-chickpea mixture, skin side-up. Pour any juices left in the bowl over the potatoes and chickpeas. Pat the chicken skin dry and drizzle it lightly with more olive oil. Cook: Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 45 minutes, or until the chicken thighs are cooked through. The chicken skin should be crisp. Carefully transfer the chicken thighs to a plate. Stir the potato-chickpea mixture just to remix it and distribute it evenly in the pan, and return the pan to the oven for another 10-15 minutes, to ensure the potatoes finish cooking and everything gets a little brown. Return chicken thighs (and any juices that have collected on the plate) to the potato-chickpea pan. I don’t generally find that the thighs have cooled enough in 10 minutes that they need to rewarm, but if yours have, pop the whole thing back in the oven for a couple minutes. Cut remaining lemon into wedges. To serve: Sprinkle with parsley, serve with additional lemon wedges for squeezing over the pan, and eat right away. Source: Smitten Kitchen ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO
