The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

10 min

Calling all Cookie Monsters! Can't decide between cookies or cake? We’ve got you covered. Jamie Aragonez, WS’s co-owner and Sorceress of Spice, came up with this ah-MAZ-ing innovation for my Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Kit: a giant, buttery, melty Cookie Cake. When she sent me the photos, not only was I floored by her creativity, but I wondered why no one had thought of it in the 16 years since the New York Times published my article. This “cakookie” is just the thing for satisfying your inner monster without all the mess and muss of measuring ingredients. With this kit it’s just 1.) pour, 2.) mix, and 3.) bake. The result is a guaranteed showstopper at any potluck, birthday, or gathering. Just ask Jamie what her guests thought! Happy baking! Chow, David Leite

If you love fancy salts, the cherries make the perfect canvas, balancing sweetness and adding crunch. My favorite is the Alderwood Smoked Salt, which adds a hint of campfire flavor and brings the essence of the Pacific Northwest full circle.

Madras Curry

Ever notice how curry tastes better the second day? It's because the flavors have combined into something greater than the sum of their parts. For best results, use the freshest ingredients available.Always cook within the season's availability. Winter is the domain of root vegetables and warming spices, whereas summer is filled with lighter fare and bright, fresh flavors. We used chicken, peas and our Madras South Indian Curry for this recipe, but you can try substituting any mix of vegetables, meats, or regional curry powders into the basic recipe below.

Sunflower Cascade Mushroom Pesto

Pesto is a powerhouse of a sauce! The intensity of flavor and thick texture make it a versatile favorite and there are so many spring greens you can include. Inspired by the farmers market and the spice cabinet, we created this rustic version with sunflower seeds, spring ramps and our Cascade Mushroom Mix. Ramps are small, wild-growing onions that combine beautifully with the Cascade Mushroom Mix for an ultra-umami flavor. The texture of this pesto nicely coats pasta or spreads on bread. Make a big batch and freeze some to enjoy this bright spring flavor all year long.In the event ramps aren't available, try it with scallions, leeks or garlic scapes. Blanched nettles are another great option. You can also swap out the parmesan for manchego cheese.
