Chef John's Cheesy Crackers
These crunchy, crispy crackers have a big, bold cheese flavor. They're vastly superior to anything you can get at the store. You can change up the cheeses and the spices. It's really a fun thing to play around with.
Kimchi Jun (Kimchi Pancake) and Dipping Sauce
These Korean-style pancakes are served spicy, not sweet. They're great for getting rid of overly-fermented kimchi!
Whipped Cream Zabaglione
This zabaglione is different because it incorporates cream. I have viewed other recipes and this varies a lot. Serve chilled with fresh fruit of your choice. To make sure zabaglione is the right consistency, run the whisk through and see that it falls in a steady stream standing on itself as it lands in the bowl.
