Recipe notes

Grape Dumplings

Native American people made these with cornmeal dumplings, simmering them with wild grapes, which were harvested at their peak sweetness.

Sour Cherry and Campari Galette

This Campari-spiked galette features the herbal aperitif, tart cherries, and floral citrus zest and is perfect for those who prefer bitter to sweet.

Violet Vodka Slushy

Crème de violette is an exuberantly floral violet liqueur that gives vibrant color to this fun frozen cocktail.

Luscious Banana Pudding

Layer homemade custard, ripe bananas, and vanilla wafers under clouds of whipped cream for this iconic dessert.

XO Sauce

Developed in the 1980s by a chef in Hong Kong, this sauce is all about umami.

Passion Fruit Curd

The kimchi brine is the secret hero here; just a splash of it brightens the cocktail while deepening it with a little funky je ne sais quoi.
