Pane Criminale

“This recipe shines when made with a rustic loaf of country bread, but baguettes work well, too. Either way, use the most flavourful, crustiest bread you can find — it’ll make all the difference.” — Samin Nosrat

Recipe: Pane Criminale

Ricotta Custard Pancakes

“These pancakes, made light and custardy with a generous amount of ricotta, are heavenly clouds of fluff.” — Samin Nosrat

Recipe: Ricotta Custard Pancakes

Sparkling Banana Bread

“Packed with both mashed and whole bananas, this is my ideal banana bread. To maximize the ratio of the cinnamon-sugar topping to the moist, flavourful interior, I bake it in a cake pan.” — Samin Nosrat

Recipe: Sparkling Banana Bread
