8 of our best roast chicken recipes - The Washington Post

Roast chicken is a beloved home-cooked meal for many reasons. It can feed a crowd. It’s relatively simple. It can be customized many different ways. It creates great leftovers to be used in other dishes. And, of course, it makes your house smell great.

Roast chicken might be the most romantic dinner of all

There are times when you may be more inclined to grab a store-bought rotisserie bird, which is just fine by me. But if you decide to roast a whole chicken at home, you’ll be rewarded with warm, juicy meat and the satisfaction of a job well done. Here are some recipes from our archives to consider.

Pictured above. This chicken gets a dry rub with big summer cookout vibes, thanks to the smoked Spanish paprika. Roasting the bird on a wire rack encourages more crisp skin and makes it even easier to get to those delicious drippings. Get the recipe.

3 dietitian-approved recipes to help boost your metabolism - GMA

---

Dietitian Rachel Beller joined "Good Morning America" to share some healthy dishes that can potentially help boost your metabolism.

Beller suggested three recipes with some smart nutritional upgrades to enhance the nutrient value of each.

Matcha overnight oats

Rachel Beller

Bowls of overnight oats with fresh fruit.

For breakfast, she shared an overnight oats recipe that she said "provides sustainable energy, will keep you full for hours and it has ingredients that may boost metabolism," which she hailed as "a win win!"

Ingredients

3/4 cup unsweetened soy milk – rich in protein

1/2 cup rolled oats – rich in beta-glucans which are prebiotic fibers that nourish your gut

1 tablespoon chia seeds – 5 grams fiber and rich in good for you omega-3s

1 teaspoon matcha powder

Sliced caramelized bananas or fruit of choice

Directions

Place plant-based milk, rolled oats, chia seeds and matcha in a jar. Seal jar and shake well.

The fruit can be added to the jar now or placed over top of the oats when serving the next morning.

Refrigerate overnight. Serve with the nuts/fruits mixed in or over top.

Easiest black bean chili

"This is a meal that is so easy, you will have it on autopilot in no time," she said. "It supports weight management and will keep you full and satisfied for hours ... and it takes five minutes to throw six ingredients together in a pot and you're done."

Ingredients

1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil

1 yellow onion, chopped

2 red or orange bell peppers, chopped

1 tablespoon Tex-Mex power spice blend (includes cumin)

2 Chainz's Personal Chef Makes His Favorite Crispy Halibut - Delish

Sami Udell is a personal chef to the stars. With clients like Nick and Priyanka Chopra Jonas and 2 Chainz, her dishes have been enjoyed by celebrities for years. 2 Chainz is both a client and a close friend, and when she asked him what recipe she should make when she joined Delish in Los Angeles, he immediately picked his favorite meal.

This crispy halibut dish is jam packed with different colors, flavors, and textures. The delicately breaded fish is served alongside a tangy tartar sauce, roasted tomato vinaigrette, crispy squash rings, a toasted nut crumble, and a sautéed vegetable medley Udell calls "jewelry rice."

There are a lot of components, but most of them can be prepared ahead of time. In the video above, Udell guides us through the whole recipe so you can recreate 2 Chainz's favorite dish at home.

Step One: Make The Tartar Sauce

First, she makes a homemade tartar sauce that couldn't be easier to put together. In a bowl, she combines crème fraîche, mayonnaise, dill, chives, shallots, capers, chopped pickles, and the zest and juice of a lemon. The tanginess of the crème fraîche and lemon juice provide a bright accompaniment to the golden, crispy halibut.

Step Two: Make The Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette

Next, Udell prepares a roasted tomato vinaigrette. She takes a simple combination of tomatoes, garlic, and olive oil and lets the heat of the oven transform it into a sweet and savory sauce we want to drizzle on literally everything. She wraps cherry tomatoes and an entire head of garlic in aluminum foil along with some salt and pepper and roasts the package in the oven for an hour.

By the time you take it out, the tomatoes' juices collect at the bottom of the foil and make the ideal base for this vinaigrette. Udell dumps the tomatoes—juices and all—in a blender and squeezes out all of the savory roasted garlic cloves. She blends the mixture with a splash of red wine vinegar for a vibrant and savory dressing that can accompany proteins and both raw and cooked vegetables.

Step Three: Make The Secret Nut Crumble

Udell then lets us in on a secret: 2 Chainz loves eating nuts. And one of her favorite ways to incorporate them into her recipes is with a toasty, spiced nut crumble. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, she adds pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, slivered almonds, cashews, brown butter, maple syrup, salt, coriander, and cumin.

That mixture hangs out in the oven until the edges become golden brown and the mixture smells toasty and aromatic. Then, once it's out, Udell finishes the crumble with crispy onions and ume plum-seasoned sesame seeds. This topping can add crunch to nearly any dish you can think of, from simple salads to cozy stews.

Step Four: Make The Crispy Squash Rings

Once she finishes prepping all of the sauces and toppings, Udell moves on to the recipe's heartier components. She first met 2 Chainz through his personal trainer; he was looking for nutritious food to accompany his workout regimen. All of her recipes, including this one, are packed with vegetables to provide the rapper with healthy and hearty meals.

The main vegetable side for this crispy halibut is a batch of crispy squash rings. Udell slices a whole delicata squash with the skin on into thin rings. Then, she hollows out the seeds in the center and offers up a pro tip: keep those seeds to roast for your next batch of nut crumble.

She seasons the squash with a simple combination of olive oil, salt, and a pinch of coconut sugar to help caramelize the vegetable. Then, the rings go directly onto a preheated baking sheet and roast in the oven until golden brown and crispy.

Step Five: Bread And Fry The Halibut

We can't forget about the crispy halibut. Udell sets up a classic breading station with a bowl of gluten-free flour, a bowl of beaten egg, and then a bowl of gluten free panko breadcrumbs. She takes the extra, optional step to blend the breadcrumbs in a food processor for a finer texture.

After seasoning the halibut filet with salt, Udell takes the fish through the whole breading process until it's lightly coated and ready to fry. And, since 2 Chainz is health-conscious, she forgoes the deep fryer for a pan coated in a thin layer of olive oil. Over high heat, she crisps up the halibut for roughly two minutes per side (but the time will vary depending on the size of your filet).

Once the fish achieves a golden brown and crispy exterior, it moves to the oven to finish cooking. But don't wash the pan—you'll need it to make Udell's famous jewelry rice.

Step Six: Make The Jewelry Rice

Her recipe isn't actually rice—it's a combo of diced eggplant, carrot, zucchini, bell peppers, shallots, and garlic. While the pan is still hot from crisping up the fish, Udell first adds the heartier vegetables, namely the eggplant and carrot, to give them a head start. Then she throws in the zucchini and bell peppers. Once the vegetables are all tender, she adds the shallot and garlic at the last minute until the mixture is fragrant and perfectly cooked.

Step Seven: Assemble And Eat

Now, it's time to combine all of the components. She spreads a few spoonfuls of the roasted tomato vinaigrette at the base of the plate and then places some of the jewelry rice in the center. She tops it with a few crispy squash rings and gently arranges the crispy halibut. The fish is adorned with a hearty dollop of tartar sauce and the entire dish is finished with a sprinkle of the nut crumble.

Check out the video above to see the final dish and an appearance by 2 Chainz himself.

I'm a Dietitian & These Are 12 Budget-Friendly Recipes I Make with a Can of Beans - Yahoo Life

One of the foods I always keep in my pantry is canned beans, and I consider them a must-have for several reasons. Beans come in many shapes, sizes, flavors and colors, allowing them to be super versatile and work well in a variety of recipes, from tacos to salads to soups. And costing just a few dollars per can, they're one of the most affordable protein sources in the grocery store. Any canned goods are shelf stable for years, so you can easily stock up on them without worrying about them going bad. For me, I find this especially helpful if I'm in a busy stretch where I don't have time to make it to the grocery store—I know that if I have beans on hand, I can usually whip up a filling and nutritious meal. Not to mention, beans are incredibly nutritious. They're packed with plant-based protein, fiber and numerous vitamins and minerals our bodies need to thrive. Research has touted them as being the number one food for longevity, to boot! And last but not least, beans can be really flavorful and satisfying. The recipes in this list like Sweet Potato & Black Bean Chili and Kale & White Bean Potpie with Chive Biscuits are proof that eating more beans can be budget-friendly, filling and downright delicious.

What to Cook This Week - The New York Times

Bacon, egg and cheese fried rice, pan-seared pork chops with charred pineapple and more recipes.

Johnny Miller for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Laurie Ellen Pellicano.

Good morning. I had a wonderful conversation the other day with Kate Reid, Australia’s queen of croissants, whose wise and ambitious cookbook, “Lune: Croissants All Day, All Night,” has just been published in the United States. Kate’s recipe for extraordinary croissants runs pages, takes three days and results in a croissant you’ll be extremely proud to have made and delighted to eat.

But that’s probably not a recipe to start on a Sunday afternoon. Instead, you should try out a hack Kate offered me for enlivening stale or not extraordinary store-bought croissants, which the excellent Claire Saffitz wrote about for The Times in 2021: almond croissants (above).

Make those in the midday hours and serve with afternoon tea. Later you can assemble Melissa Clark’s new recipe for roasted ginger chicken with peanut sauce, and bring your nutty day to a close.

As for the rest of the week. …

Monday

Ali Slagle has a new recipe for pan-seared boneless pork chops with charred pineapple that’s as delicious as it is simple to prepare. It’s a beautiful Venn diagram of spicy, sweet and salty that serves to remind us why pork and pineapple are such a classic combination.

Tuesday

It’s Fat Tuesday, and even if you don’t celebrate, it’s still a great day to make Julia Reed’s excellent recipe for shrimp and grits. Bring your own private French Quarter to life. Let’s eat!

Wednesday

Kay Chun’s coconut-caramel braised tofu with charred green beans is a wonder: a simmering mixture of coconut milk, miso, ginger and garlic, reduced into a rich caramel sauce that envelops the tofu. The green beans add subtle smoky notes, but you could use broccoli or cauliflower florets instead, with equal results. Serve with rice, and make enough so that you have plenty left over to put in the refrigerator for. …

Thursday

… Kay’s recipe for bacon, egg and cheese fried rice. If you don’t have leftover rice, you could use leftover farro or barley, but don’t make this dish with freshly cooked rice. (People may tell you otherwise, but it’ll clump, sure as taxes.)

Friday

And then you can greet the weekend with Naz Deravian’s comforting casserole classic: hot chicken salad, a creamy-crunchy, nostalgic joy.

Thousands more recipes await you at New York Times Cooking, though you need a subscription to read them. Subscriptions support our work and allow it to continue! I hope, if you haven’t already, that you will subscribe today. (Thank you if you’ve done so already.)

If you run into trouble with the technology, write us: cookingcare@nytimes.com. If you want to bark about something, or feel moved to say hello, write me: foodeditor@nytimes.com. I cannot respond to every letter. (I get a lot of mail!) But I read every one I get.

Now, you’d have to do a lot of work to make it have anything to do with veal stock or oatmeal cookies, but you should still read this Dwight Garner review, in The Times, of Priscilla Gilman’s memoir “The Critic’s Daughter.” Boy howdy.

You know what’s a pretty satisfying rewatch after 10 years? The first episode of the first season of “Ray Donovan,” now on Amazon Prime.

Tom Jokinen has an article in The Walrus about how to make peace with Canada geese. It raises an interesting point. Which of us is really the invasive species?

Finally, the musician Steve Nieve turns 65 this week. You may know him from his work playing keyboards with Elvis Costello, but here he is solo, performing “Muriel on Main Beach” (which the video title card renders as “Muriel on the Beach”). Enjoy that, and I’ll see you next Friday.

Meera Sodha's vegan recipe for tofu fried rice with green cabbage | The new vegan - The Guardian

Last July, I took a cooking class in Bangkok. I was making the food of my dreams, but it was a long day and I was tired from pounding pastes and milking coconuts. I asked the cooks: do you eat like this at home? No, they said. One liked to eat eggs and rice, another enjoyed noodles. Which brings me to today’s recipe: although there are many wonderful things I could make for dinner, when I want something fast and good, I often make fried rice. Sometimes, it has diced carrots and broccoli, at other times tofu and leafy greens – and it comes together quickly, even when you’re too tired to cook.

Tofu fried rice with savoy cabbage

You’ll need a wide frying or saute pan with a tight-fitting lid. This recipe is adapted from one of my favourite recipes written originally for Ocado.

Prep 10 min
Cook 20 min (or 50 min if cooking the rice from scratch)
Serves 4

600g cold, cooked rice, or 300g jasmine rice
450ml hot vegetable stock, suitable for vegans (optional, and only if you’re cooking the rice from scratch)
3 tbsp rapeseed oil
1 large onion, peeled and finely sliced
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
½ savoy cabbage, or january king, or spring greens, shredded (400g)
1 tsp Chinese five-spice
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
2 tbsp light soy sauce
350g silken tofu, drained
Sriracha or goma dare sauce, to serve

If you are using cooked rice, skip this first step. Otherwise, put the jasmine rice in a sieve and rinse it under the cold tap until the water runs clear. Tip into a saucepan, add the hot stock and bring to a boil. Cover, turn down the heat to a whisper and leave to cook for 15 minutes. Take off the heat, leave, still covered, to steam for five to 10 minutes, then lift off the lid, fluff up with a fork and set aside to cool.

Put the oil in a frying pan on a medium heat. When hot, add the onion and fry, stirring, for about eight minutes, until softened and browning. Add the garlic, cook, still stirring, for a couple of minutes, then add the shredded cabbage and fry on a low heat, stirring every now and then, for five to seven minutes, until the cabbage has wilted. Stir in the five-spice, salt, sesame oil and soy sauce, then crumble the tofu into the pan. Fry, stirring, for a couple of minutes more, until all the ingredients are well mixed, then stir in the rice – I use a spaghetti spoon to do this, so as not to break up the rice much.

Cook until the rice is hot and all the ingredients are well acquainted, then heap on to plates and serve with sriracha or goma sauce drizzled on top.

Cookbook Showdown: The Best King Cake Recipes, Tested - Book Riot

Are you ready to laissez les bon temps rouler this Mardi Gras? I’m a big fan of the Big Easy, so I make a king cake every year around Mardi Gras season to have a taste of one of my favorite cities. But despite having a sizable cookbook collection, I realized I always revert to online recipes. What’s up with that? This year, I decided to test out the king cake recipes in four of my cookbooks to learn about the cake’s history and see if I could learn some new skills.

In this Cookbook Showdown, I tested recipes from “the Cake Mix Doctor” Anne Byrn, Great British Baking Show winner Nadiya Hussain, Great American Baking Show winner Vallery Lomas, and James Beard Award–winning food writer Aleksandra Crapanzano. Which recipe will take the cake, so to speak? Read on to find out!

What is King Cake?

I’ve always associated king cake with New Orleans, so to me, it’s a yeasted dough with a filling, usually brown sugar, cinnamon, and/or nuts, shaped into a circle and baked, then topped with a glaze and sprinkled with purple, green, and yellow sugar. There’s also usually some kind of token like a tiny plastic baby tucked inside. What I just described is commonly recognized as a contemporary New Orleans king cake, but it turns out the definition of king cake is much broader than I realized.

Like many Catholic traditions, king cake was brought to New Orleans by the French, where variations of it had been around since the Middle Ages. And in fact, it was originally meant to mark Catholic Epiphany, or Three Kings Day, on January 6. It’s now traditionally served anywhere between the beginning of the year and the start of Lent.

Unlike its yeasted American sibling, the French galette des rois is usually a round puff pastry filled with almond frangipane. There are actually tons of variations on king cake across the globe, from Portugal to Greece to Latin America and beyond. The things they tend to have in common? They’re round (like a king’s crown) and include a fève, or trinket like a dried bean or plastic baby.

What’s with that baby, anyway? Opinions vary on what it means to find the baby or bean in your slice of cake. Some say it’s simply a sign of good luck or that money is coming your way. Others say it means you’re in charge of bringing the king cake or hosting the Mardi Gras party the next year. (That doesn’t sound so lucky to me.)

In my search for this cookbook showdown, I found three king cake recipes in the circular, yeasted, New Orleans style and one traditional French recipe. Let’s dive right in!

Byrn’s king cake recipe comes early in the book, citing its arrival in New Orleans in 1718 thanks to Basque settlers. Of the recipes I tested for this Cookbook Showdown, this one is closest to what I expect when I think of king cake. It’s made with a yeasted dough similar to brioche and filled with brown sugar and cinnamon. Although Byrn admits to preferring it with no topping or, if anything, a light dusting of powdered sugar, she also includes a “modern Mardi Gras glaze” option, which I chose to utilize.

Anne Byrn’s New Orleans King Cake

This recipe’s yeasted, enriched dough came out very soft and sticky. I added a little extra flour, but didn’t want to stray too far from the recipe. After proving, the dough is rolled out into a rectangle, brushed with butter, and topped with brown sugar and cinnamon. It’s then rolled into a log and the ends are connected to make a circle. After baking, it’s topped with a powdered sugar glaze tinted with food coloring. Byrn’s recipe shares ideas for additional ingredients that could be added to the filling like dried fruit, nuts, or citrus. That’s something I would love to explore next time, but for this experiment, I kept it classic.

This bake went exactly according to plan and came out looking and smelling delicious. The cake collapsed a bit upon cooling, perhaps because of the extra soft dough. While I consider colored sugar a more classic look, the dyed glaze was bright and eye-catching. The taste was just as lovely, reminiscent of a cinnamon roll.

Anne Byrn’s King Cake Scores

Looks: 4/5 — The cake kept its round shape and browned nicely, and the dyed glaze has a nice visual impact. Besides collapsing a bit while cooling, it looks celebratory.
Taste: 4/5 — This cake has the classic cinnamon and brown sugar flavor I expect from a king cake, and the touch of nutmeg in the dough stood out.
Texture: 5/5 — The finished cake was delightfully soft and fluffy, somewhere between a cake and bread.
Difficulty: Moderate — For a yeasted dough cake, this is a very approachable recipe, but it’s helpful to have some experience making bread.
Overall: 4/5 — This recipe is a great base upon which to add your favorite flavors and twists.

Nadiya Bakes: Over 100 Must-Try Recipes for Breads, Cakes, Biscuits, Pies, and More by Nadiya Hussain

Since winning her season of the Great British Baking Show, Nadiya Hussain has spread her love of cooking and baking across the globe and even been recognized as a British national treasure. This cookbook includes tons of recipes for flavorful and festive baked goods, some of which are also featured on her BBC and Netflix show Nadiya Bakes. Savory and sweet, easy and complex, she’s got plenty of dishes to whet your appetite and help you get more creative in the kitchen.

I was admittedly surprised to find a king cake recipe in this Brit’s cookbook, but as she promises in the description, she’s “tried the real thing in New Orleans.” And this recipe is certainly inspired by Louisiana flavors with its praline cream cheese filling. Hussain’s cake is baked in a bundt pan to give it a circular shape and topped with dyed shredded coconut rather than sugar. Did it deliver classic flavors with fresh twists?

Nadiya Hussain’s Praline King Cake

Hussain’s yeasted dough went according to plan. The filling was the trickier part. Her recipe involves making homemade pralines with caramelized sugar, then running the pralines through a food processor and mixing the crumbs into cream cheese. After the dough proves, the cream cheese filling is rolled in and the whole thing goes into a bundt pan to bake. After cooling completely, it’s topped with a glaze and yellow and green shredded coconut.

The bundt pan was actually a nice way to give the cake a perfectly rounded shape, although I’ve never made a king cake in one before. I took a taste of the praline cream cheese filling and it was delicious, but it didn’t have as much of a flavor impact in the final cake, which lacked sweetness overall. And while I really enjoyed the shredded coconut topping instead of sprinkled sugar, it was polarizing for some of my pickier taste testers.

Image from Susie Dumond

Nadiya Hussain’s King Cake Scores

Looks: 5/5 — Absolutely gorgeous, if you ask me! I enjoyed the coconut topping, although I would have added purple coconut as well instead of leaving it at two colors.
Taste: 3/5 — I was surprised to find the praline cream cheese filling was fairly flavorless by the time the cake was baked. I cut the amount of almond extract called for in the recipe by half, but it was still the most prominent flavor.
Texture: 3.5/5 — It ended up a little dry and dense by the time it finished cooling, and it didn’t age well after the first day.
Difficulty: Advanced — Caramelizing sugar to make the praline filling requires more time and technical skill, but the bundt pan did make the shaping process more foolproof.
Overall: 3.5/5 — I liked the coconut topping and found the bundt pan to be a handy trick, but the flavor didn’t deliver. Some spices like cinnamon or nutmeg would have gone a long way.

Life is What You Bake It: Recipes, Stories, and Inspiration to Bake Your Way to the Top by Vallery Lomas

After winning the Great American Baking Show — in a season that was unfortunately canceled — Vallery Lomas quit her job as an attorney to make baking and food her life. And although you can’t watch her historic moment as the first Black winner across the Great British Baking Show franchise, you can now find her everywhere from Food Network to Live with Kelly and Ryan to New York Times Cooking and beyond.

Lomas grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, so I wasn’t surprised to find her twist on king cake among the recipes in her cookbook. I was, however, surprised to see what twists she chose. Rather than a cinnamon or brown sugar filling, Lomas’s king cake has a blackberry lemon filling. The introduction to the recipe says the tart fruit flavors are the perfect contrast to the sweet glaze, and this dish earned her star baker on an unaired episode of Great American Baking Show.

Vallery Lomas’s Blackberry Lemon King Cake

This king cake utilizes the brioche bread dough recipe from elsewhere in the cookbook, which includes three lemons’ worth of zest. Lemon juice also goes into the blackberry filling, which is cooked on the stove. And although the colorful sugar is a trademark of king cake, this is the only recipe I tested that actually had it. It’s also the only recipe I made that shaped the dough from multiple rolled pieces twisted together, which is how I usually make it at home.

The brioche dough turned out well. But here’s where this recipe’s problem might have been user error: I poured the blackberry filling through a fine mesh sieve. I’m not a fan of blackberry seeds in baked goods, and while the recipe didn’t specifically call for that step, I didn’t think it would make too much of a difference. But the filling never really set up as expected, which might be because I removed the seeds. When I rolled the filling into the dough, it was far too runny and made my kitchen counter look like a murder scene. The remaining filling absorbed into the dough, leaving little to none of the anticipated swirl when sliced. I also think the cake was prettier before being topped with the glaze, which was delicious but extra thick.

Image from Susie Dumond

Vallery Lomas’s King Cake Scores

Looks: 3.5/5 — I wish I’d gotten a picture of the cake before I topped it with the gloppy glaze! It was beautifully risen and browned. In retrospect, I should have piped the glaze.
Taste: 3.5/5 — Was it delicious? Yes. Did it taste like king cake? To me, no. It tasted like a nice lemon sweet bread. And the blackberry flavor didn’t come through at all.
Texture: 4/5 — The dough really was the perfect soft brioche consistency, but I wish it had kept its filling swirl. Maybe it would have if I’d left in the blackberry seeds.
Difficulty: Moderate — I recommend leaving the seeds in the blackberry filling and giving it twice as long to chill. But otherwise, this was a pretty approachable recipe.
Overall: 3.5/5 — I thoroughly enjoyed eating this cake, but to me, it was a lemon bun disguised as king cake.

Gâteau: The Surprising Simplicity of French Cakes by Aleksandra Crapanzano

For all its notoriety as a highly complicated and intricate baking culture, French desserts can be surprisingly simple. At least, that’s the theory put forward by cookbook author and food writer Aleksandra Crapanzano. Gâteau includes recipes for 150 French bakes, both savory and sweet, made approachable for home bakers. With colorful illustrations and simple but chic flavor combinations, it’s a delightful cookbook to explore.

For this cookbook challenge, I thought, why not try the French version of king cake that inspired today’s New Orleans favorite? I considered similar recipes from authors like Claire Saffitz, but found the promised simplicity in this one appealing. I could use store bought puff pastry which, after making three king cakes already, sounded fantastic. That put most of the work into making a frangipane filling. Seems easy enough, right?

Aleksandra Crapanzano’s Galette des Rois

Truly, this recipe couldn’t look simpler. I mix together a few simple ingredients to make an almond flavored filling. I stick that between two circles of store bought puff pastry, brush on an egg wash, and pop the whole thing in the oven. What could go wrong?

Image from Susie Dumond

A lot, it turns out. And I can’t fairly blame it all on the recipe. I couldn’t find the recommended brand of Dufour puff pastry and instead used Pepperidge Farms. Is that why it didn’t puff? Or perhaps because I baked it on the only round baking sheet I have, which is stoneware and may have taken too long to heat up against the bottom of the pastry? The filling seemed to have gone according to plan, but when baked, it burst out of the pastry and onto the bottom of my oven. Did I overfill the cake? The recipe didn’t say anything about only using a certain amount, and I wet and sealed the edges of the cake as instructed. But maybe I didn’t press the edges hard enough?

I’ve seen some real merde during my various Cookbook Showdown experiments. But this baking disaster (which I’m still trying to clean up as I write this) has surpassed the lemon meringue pie fiasco of 2022 to become my biggest Cookbook Showdown fail. Not only was it messy and ugly; it also tasted terrible. The bottom of the pastry remained soggy, and barely enough filling stayed in the cake to give it any flavor. I tried a bite solely to report back to you, dear readers, then threw the whole thing in the trash.

Image from Susie Dumond

Aleksandra Crapanzano’s King Cake Scores

Looks: 1/5 — And that’s generous. Where’s the puff? Where’s the filling? What happened here?
Taste: 1/5 — I’m not a huge frangipane fan, which turned out to be fine because most of it ended up in the bottom of my oven anyway.
Texture: 0/5 — Offensively bad, but I don’t really blame Crapanzano for that so much as my own mistakes.
Difficulty: Easy — Or is it? The instructions are simple, sure. If you try this recipe at home, I wish you far more success than I had.
Overall: ?/5 — It doesn’t seem fair to score this recipe based on my own failed experiment. If I were to try this again, I would make my puff pastry from scratch (eliminating the “easy” element here), use a metal baking sheet, thoroughly seal the edges, and, although I’m not a religious type, pray. (Although perhaps this cake was God’s punishment for me not being religious.)

Final Reflections

I learned a lot during this process about king cake’s history and the scope of what it can look and taste like. I would love to try some of the other regional variations on the dish — hopefully with more success than the galette des rois. But to me, king cake is best with a flavor profile of cinnamon and other warming spices. After all, if you’re serving it in January and February, a little warmth is just what your tastebuds need.

Image from Susie Dumond

With that in mind, it’s no surprise that the winner is…

Cookbook Showdown Winner: Anne Byrn’s New Orleans King Cake from American Cake

That’s right! The queen of American Cake won the crown on this king cake challenge. The cake had a delightfully soft texture right at the intersection of cake and bread, and the brown sugar and cinnamon filling was traditional and delicious. Her notes in the recipe give home bakers lots of room to explore different twists. This cake is an all-around winner.

Honorable Mention: Vallery Lomas’s Blackberry Lemon King Cake from Life is What You Bake It

This dish may have tasted more like a summer dessert than a dish traditionally served in January — and the off-season blackberries may have been at fault for the lackluster berry flavor. But the texture of the dough was top-notch, and the bright lemon twist was refreshingly delightful.
