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.

The “Reverse” Chicken Pot Pie

I’ve always had a problem with Chicken Pot Pie. The concept of it is amazing - but because of 2 main problems, I’m often left disappointed:

The puff pastry steams from the inside - so you get a crispy top, but the inside and bottom are soggy and gummy
It’s often made with chicken breast that is boiled to the point of death, dry and lacking flavor.

I’ve been thinking for years about how to fix those problems and I have a solution. Instead of baking everything together, why not make the ultimate crispy puff pastry bowl, and serve the chicken in it? So you have an ideal chicken pot pie, with zero sog, perfectly crispy puff pastry and perfectly juicy chicken thigh. This is reverse Chicken Pot Pie.
