Desserts

Cranberry Cheesecake

You can certainly use a thermometer to check if the internal temperature has reached 150º. However, if you’d prefer to avoid sticking holes in your dessert, the wobble cheesecake test is a better bet. Give the cheesecake a gentle rap on the side of the pan with a wooden spoon. The cheesecake should wobble just slightly if it’s done. It will jiggle and ripple if it’s not quite done yet.

Kimbap (Korean Sushi Rolls)

David Chang was inspired to make these playful rolls by a snack he had at Yunpilam, a temple in South Korea, where the nuns served him edamame mixed with walnuts and molasses. His rolls have an edamame-and-walnut filling; unlike other sushi rolls, they can be served warm.

Salmon
