Â You can adjust the saltiness based on the pretzel rods you use and the intensity of the sweet flavor can be adjusted based on the type of chocolate you use.

Homemade mayonnaise is sort of a right of passage for people setting out to cook for real. It’s surprisingly rewarding the first time you get an emulsion started, and I love being able to make a mayonnaise that doesn’t have any soy or high fructose corn syrup, and has much less sodium and sugar than the packaged stuff tends to.

This recipe walks the line between being a fresh lemon flavored cake and a tangy cheesecake. The layers are baked together so when it comes out of the oven all that’s left to do is to chill it and dust it with a little powdered sugar. Click here for the recipe & photo tutorial . . .

Ingredients: butter, dill, flounder, garlic, ground black pepper, mayonaise, milk, parmesan cheese, potato
This meal is a sort of a fresh variation on fish and chips. The flavors work together in the same way, but because this is baked instead of fried it creates an opportunity for spices and cheese to become the focal point. The flounder is tender but with a crispy crust, and the potatoes are baked in milk, butter and spices so they have everything that makes mashed potatoes taste great but with a texture more like a baked potato.
