Stuck
for what to bring to your next holiday potluck? Try one of these phenomenally
popular recipes currently being tested, tweaked and buzzed about online. Can
legions of online food enthusiasts be wrong?
First up is the granddaddy of all cult Internet recipes: Jim Lahey's no-knead
bread. It's cheap, easy (there really is no kneading) and the result is truly
impressive: a crusty, bakery-style loaf.
Search for the almost no-knead, whole wheat and sourdough variations for
inspiration and to see for yourself the extent to which the online food world is
captivated with this recipe.
Here are a few other Internet faves:
Nigella Lawson's version of ham in Coca-Cola — just don't try it with diet soda;
Avocado pie;
New York Times perfect chocolate chip cookies, featuring a sprinkling of sea
salt and a 12- to 36-hour aging period for the dough;
Martha Stewart's macaroni and cheese;
Bacon cookies;
Overnight slow-cooker oatmeal;
And finally, what may be the holy grail of nostalgia recipes: Ebinger's Blackout
Cake, from a Brooklyn-based bakery that closed more than 35 years ago. |
