French fries are probably the ultimate way to cook potatoes. Unfortunately, it’s very easy to end up with limp and soggy fries when you do it at home. In the industry, it’s common to actually cook the potatoes by frying them at a medium temperature before they are frozen. Then you just toss them in super hot oil and crisp them up and heat the middle which is already cooked. This method takes it to the next level. This is the recipe for triple-cooked fries.

If you follow this recipe you will be rewarded with the absolute best and most delicious fries you have ever tried. The crispy, almost glass-like surface shatters between your teeth in the most satisfying way. In the middle of the fry is the softest, creamiest mashed potato. I’m salivating just thinking about it.

Sourdough has become a slight obsession of mine. I’ve noticed that it’s common for people who get into sourdough to get wholly engulfed in working their starters (Tamagotchi, anyone?) and baking delicious bread. Sourdough bread is much healthier than your average store-bought bread and a hundred times tastier. Typically these bread are your typical “bread and butter” types of bread, but I’ve started branching out into the world of add-ins and changing the flavor overall. This is my recipe for chocolate sourdough bread.

Sourdough bread is usually something you’d think of as tangy, not sweet, but this bread takes the whole taste experience in the other direction. The crumb is dark and chocolaty, with specks of chocolate pieces, sweet Cointreau-soaked raisins, and crunchy and very nutty hazelnuts. You get a cakey vibe, but it’s not sweet at all.

Bundt cakes are an American phenomenon inspired by the traditional European cake Gugelhupf. Bundt cakes. There are infinite variations of bundt cakes, but here is the absolutely best bundt cake recipe.

I follow an Instagrammer and baker called Maurizio Leo. He’s an amazing sourdough baker, but one day he posted a picture of a cake that had the most wonderful design. A sort of three-dimensional shape that I had never seen before in a cake.

He wrote in the comments that it was made by a company called Nordicware, so I went into research mode and I found their site and they had so many different options. I just wanted them all.

For me, there’s nothing better than bread.. and cheese! So bread with cheese must be the ultimate bread. That’s what I set out to test with this bread. Here is my recipe for sourdough bread with cheddar, oregano, and smoked paprika.

Cheddar is one of the most popular cheeses in the world. It’s a pretty good cheese that fits perfectly with other foods and in a sandwich. Personally, I like cheeses with more taste, so I’ve used sharp cheddar in this recipe. If you don’t like sharp cheese you can substitute it with mild cheddar.
