Chocobananas (Chocolate Covered Frozen Bananas)

Tartine Basic Country Bread
Tartine Country Bread is pretty much the holy grail of sourdough bread, ever since Chad Robertson released his book, Tartine Bread. It has been an inspiration for artisan bread bakers who work hard to make gorgeous loaves with an amazing flavor.
The original recipe for the Tartine Country Bread can be found in the book, Tartine Bread by Chad Robertson, published in 2010. I bought this book, but then was so intimidated by the fact that the recipe and instructions were over 40 pages long. As a bread baking friend describes it, it's "epic."

Toffee Mocha Muffins
These toffee mocha muffins will please your toffee, chocolate, and coffee lovers. It's like a Heath Bar and a cup of coffee rolled up into a muffin. Plus, there are chocolate chips.
These mocha muffins, loaded with chocolate chips (because you can't have too much chocolate), cocoa, espresso, and topped with a toffee chip streusel, are a great excuse for having chocolate for breakfast.

Pretzel Croissants
Pretzel croissants! A cross between croissants and pretzels. There are cronuts, so why not pretzel croissants?
These pretzel croissants get their "pretzel-ness" because they are prepared with a dough made with beer instead of water, dipped into a baked baking soda wash, and then sprinkled with salt.

This Chicken Marbella is inspired by the dinner party classic from the 1980s. With the unusual combination of chicken, prunes, olives, and capers, it is so unexpectedly delicious.
The original recipe for Chicken Marbella was published in the Silver Palate Cookbook (affiliate link) in 1982. At the time, the cookbook was considered revolutionary and sophisticated. The recipes were dinner party ready, yet much less labor intensive than ones from Mastering the Art of French Cooking.

This Garlic Gruyere Pain de Campagne Boule is a big sourdough loaf with a swath of roasted garlic and cheese nestled right under the crust.
To achieve the pockets of garlic and cheese right under the crust, you flattened the final dough and spread it with the roasted garlic and cheese mixture, and then you roll it up into a boule. You then tighten the boule until much of the filling is just under the skin (outer crust) of the bread.

Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup
Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup is a delicious way to warm you up when you're feeling a bit chilly. The flavors are complex, with star anise, garlic, and ginger.
The fragrant spices, along with a bit of brown sugar, chili bean sauce, soy sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes or, if you have them, Sichuan peppercorns, combine to create a pretty amazing and flavorful noodle soup.

Irish Fish Cakes
These fish cakes are one of my favorite treats from Ireland. They can be made with salmon, cod, hake, halibut, rockfish, or any flaky seafood you have access too.
Fish cakes are popular in pubs along the coast of Ireland. They are pretty much a comfort food, and take the ubiquitous potato and combine it with the bounty from the coasts of the country.

Kürtőskalács | Hungarian Chimney Cakes
Kürtőskalács, also known as chimney cakes, are a fun treat to make. They are delicious straight from the oven.
The dough for these Kürtőskalács is pretty easy to make, and super easy to handle. It's an enriched yeasted dough, with milk, butter, and an egg, and it comes together very quickly.

Kozunak (Bulgarian Easter Bread)
Kozunak is a slightly sweet enriched celebration bread often served Easter morning in Bulgaria.
Kozunak is similar to many celebration breads of Europe, especially eastern Europe, and is enriched with eggs, oil, and sugar. It reminds me of brioche, pandoro, or Pane di Pasqua, except that it calls for oil rather than butter.

The Cuban Sandwich (The Cubano)
This Cuban Sandwich Recipe reflects the delicious sandwich from Florida, the birthplace of the authentic Cubano.
Making a Cuban sandwich requires a few extra steps, including roasting your own pork, but it is totally worth it.
I even made my own Cuban bread, or Pan Cubano de Manteca!

You can make this flatbread whenever you are feeding your sourdough starter. Instead of throwing away excess starter, whip up a batch of these flatbreads. Serve them with your favorite soup or stew, or use them to wrap up your favorite sandwich fillings.

Fioretto Cauliflower Cheese Nuggets
These Fioretto Cauliflower Cheese Nuggets are a great way to get your veggies in a totally cheesy and tasty way.
These cauliflower cheese nuggets are made with fioretto, which is a hybrid of broccoli and cauliflower, and, when raw, look like flowers on long-ish green stems. They are sometimes called "flowering cauliflower." They are much more flavorful than standard cauliflower... kind of sweet, kind of nutty.

Empanadas de Picadillo
These empanadas de picadillo are made with puff pastry wrapped around a mixture of seasoned ground beef and potatoes.
These empanadas are baked, not fried, and are wonderful fresh from the oven or reheated later in the toaster oven. While they may not win a beauty contest, these were pretty much one of the most popular dishes from my kitchen.
