Our version honors Calvados country with a schmear of apple butter and a splash of apple brandy added to the traditional frangipane cream. A generous layer of toasty almonds balances the soft and squishy filling below. Get the recipe for Cinnamon Apple Bostock »

Steamed Pork Buns

Cornstarch adds a silkiness to bao dough, mimicking the bleached, low-protein flour commonly used in Chinese bakeries (but harder to find in supermarkets). Lard adds tenderness, richness, and a subtle porky finish. Get the recipe for Chinese Steamed Pork Buns (Char Siu Bao) »

Minute steak

"Beef is excellently suited to Express-cookery, since it is delicious when it is served underdone," de Pomiane advises. Use a steak sliced no thicker than 1 inch to achieve a crispy crust and warm, pink center in a short cooking time. Get the recipe for Minute Steak (Adapted from Cooking in 10 Minutes) »

nachos Vegetarian recipes

A balance of pickly, salty, cheesy, and crisp, this recipe—inspired by the original—proves that simple is preferable when it comes to nachos. When deep-frying your own tortillas, look for soft tortillas made with all corn (and no flour) for the crunchiest results. Get the recipe for Real Deal Ignacio-Style Nachos »

The Ultimate Crab Dip

William Hereford

Known as chupe de centolla, this Chilean crab gratin borders on a cheesy crab dip. While similar South American chupe are always prepared with milk-soaked bread and any combination of shrimp, scallops, shellfish, meats, and cheeses, Patagonia's version relies solely on the massive local king crabs, the hallmark of fishermen's kitchens along Chile's southernmost coast.

Schmidt, who was looking for a unique midnight snack to serve to all the revelers dancing in the ballroom until the wee hours.
