David Leite's Portuguese Roast Chicken and Potatoes
20 min
From David Leite -"There's nothing more comforting than a delicious roast chicken with potatoes! Using A Taste of Portugal, we made a paste that is used to season the chicken before it goes into the oven. What's great about this paste is that it's infinitely customizable. Sometimes I double the garlic, add more tomato paste, a big handful of chopped fresh parsley, cilantro, thyme, or rosemary - whatever I have on hand. And for those chiliheads out there, feel free to spice it up to suit your taste!"

Kat Lieu's Thick and Cakey Hojicha and Miso Chocolate Chip Cookies
50 min
"Confession time! I’ve never been much of a cookie person until I made gigantic monster cookies, like the monster matcha miso cookies in my cookbook, Modern Asian Baking at Home. My verdant and gigantic cookies became an obsession. By substituting matcha powder with hojicha powder, and sprinkling on some sea salt flakes at the end, I’ve created another addictive cookie to obsess over: thiccc and cakey hojicha and miso chocolate chip cookies. I recommend not skipping the miso as it gives the cookies an additional pop of umami.

Spiced Monkey Bread
1 hr
Monkey bread is most often sweet, and served with a drizzle of syrupy glaze. Here we decided to give it a twist and make monkey bread that is salty, crunchy and savory. The soft, chewy rolls of dough are piled high and baked in a Bundt pan. To eat them you pick the pieces apart like a monkey! It's fun to eat and a festive addition to a potluck or holiday table. Serve the monkey bread with a sauce like sour cream, butter, marinara or olive oil. A small ramekin perfectly fits in the middle.
