ZEPPOLES

ITALIAN DOUGHNUTS

I'm gonna show you how to make Zeppoles from scratch, also known as Italian doughnuts, usually found at street fairs, served in a brown paper bag and served with a mount of powdered sugar. I get zeppoles once a year at the san gennnaro feast in NYC. If you ever wondered how to make donuts without yeast this may be the recipe you're looking for. These are the best doughnuts in my opinion and one of my favorite childhood foods. And this is the easiest donut recipe I have come across. This is my first dessert and of course, it's an Italian dessert. Be careful when you fry donuts at home.

Hope you like this different kind of format.

In today's video, I will show you how to make a tasty eggs benedict with blender hollandaise sauce. You now know how to poach an egg (video for that here) now I'm going to show you to put it all together for eggs benedict at home. I make a blender hollandaise sauce, rather than use a double boiler, this is often called a 1 minute hollandaise sauce because of how easy and quick it is to make.

My sauce actually broke in this video so I'll also show you
how to fix a broken hollandaise sauce.

NOT ANOTHER COOKING SHOW

how to make CARROT AND PARSLEY SALAD

Growing up, there was always this mysteriously delicious carrot and parsley salad that showed up on the Christmas dinner table. I was a picky eater, but I knew when I saw that carrot salad I wouldn’t be able to stop eating it. It’s sweet and bright and refreshing and the perfect balance to a rich meat you might find on Christmas. After asking for the recipe from my mom, she made me aware it was actually an old @alicelouisewaters recipe from @chezpanisse. That explains why it is so delicious.
