This peach of a state delivers an experience for everyone with its hip city sophistication, small-town charm, mountaintop serenity, and the beauty of a pristine coast. Whether you want a waterfall hike, lazy days on the beach, or nightlife and authentic shrimp and grits, it’s all within reach. Check out some of our favorites.

A SHORE THING

SkyView, Atlanta, GA

From the minute your toes touch the sandy shores of Georgia’s 100 miles of coastline, you’ll be hooked. From kayaking off Tybee Island and dining on freshly caught wild Georgia shrimp on St. Simons Island, to visiting sea turtles on Jekyll Island, Georgia’s beaches are as low-key or high-energy as you like.

CITIES WITH SOUL Whether you want the cool, urban vibe of the ATL, Victorian-era architecture and dazzling skyline of Savannah, artsy energy and thriving food scene of Columbus, or the live music and historic sights in Augusta, Georgia’s soulful cities are hard to beat. Steeped in history, packed with attractions, and humming with culinary talent, Georgia’s cities are a must-do.

It’s easy to spread out and find your own space in north Georgia. And when you do, you’ll be glad you came.

Add some strawberries to your salad!

Looking Good

PEPPERS AND MANGO: GETTY IMAGES.

Get your vitamin C, then smile: Researchers from the University of Washington say that gum problems could be linked to a vitamin C deficiency. Just one cup of fresh strawberries has more than your daily requirement, so stock up and try the strawberry-quinoa salad on page 81.

Try the whole grilled fish on page 100—your heart will thank you! According to new research published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, consuming an extra 1,000 mg of omega-3 fatty acids every day could decrease the risk of heart attack by 9 percent.

editor’s letter

urgers have been a hot topic lately— and not just because we’re all excited for grilling season: Some other food publications have decided to ban beef from their test kitchens, and as you can see from our cover, we’re not taking the same path. We cook with any and every ingredient in our kitchen and figure you can decide what’s right for you. In this issue we’re celebrating the burger in all its forms: classic burgers, quirky regional burgers, and—for those of you who want to cut back on beef—vegetarian burgers, too. That’s the great thing about America the Burgerful: You can have your patty any way you like it!

Once we decided to go big on burgers, we had to settle on which one to show on the cover. We wanted it to scream “classic,” but what does a classic burger look like exactly? One fat patty or two thin ones?

Cheese or no cheese? Ketchup or…just kidding, that was never a question— of course a classic burger needs ketchup.

Our big ketchup debate was simply about how much to put on the patty. And we got the answer from our friends at Heinz, who let us review their 91-page illustrated handbook on proper ketchup presentation and photography. It is one of the most amazing visual guides I’ve ever seen. There are tips for getting a perfect peak (it’s called a “hat” in the biz), an analysis of how light hits the bottle (as with any model, some angles are better than others), and an answer to that important question about how much to use: 66.7 percent of a burger should be covered with ketchup. If you want to top yours with more, we won’t judge— just maybe take a shot for Instagram before you go all the way.

This dollop got a little messy in the back and didn’t quite cover enough of the patty.

The ketchup coverage was right, but the peak fell flat.

Close—but not the best peak, and the waves needed some work.

Perfect!

A Taste of Fall Pumpkin spice season keeps showing up earlier every year: Google searches for the flavor start climbing in late July, and last summer Starbucks brought back its pumpkin spice latte (PSL) on August 25—almost a month before the start of fall! We created these ice pops so you can get your pumpkin spice fix and stay cool while you’re at it: Whisk 1 cup canned pumpkin puree, ½ cup each sweetened condensed milk and half-and-half and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Freeze in ice pop molds.

Cocktails Bartenders across the country are making top-notch drinks without the booze—and you can, too!

FRANCESCA COCCHI

one are the days when ordering a nonalcoholic cocktail would get you a glorified lemonade off the kids’ menu or—worse—a blank stare from the bartender. Mixologists across the country are making boozefree drinks that are as complex as their alcoholic counterparts, and bars that cater to the sober (and sober-curious) have sprung up in nearly every major city. It’s all for good reason: As a nation, we’re drinking less. A 2019 Nielsen survey found that 47 percent of adults—and 66 percent of millennials—planned to cut back on alcohol consumption. That same year, wine consumption declined for the first time in more than two decades.

Teetotaling has never been as popular as it is now, and with all the new faux spirits, shrubs and syrups available, making a great nonalcoholic drink at home is easier than ever.

Incorporate bubbly mixers like tonic water, soda and ginger beer, or use raw egg whites to create a frothy top layer.

Whisked aquafaba, the liquid in canned chickpeas, creates a similar effect and is a favorite in the spirit-free world.

Creating a booze-free Negroni is a tall order. The classic Italian cocktail is made entirely of alcoholic ingredients: gin, Campari and sweet vermouth. Our test kitchen director Steve Jackson was up for the challenge.

Homemade simple syrup infused with orange, juniper, coriander and rosemary sweetened the drink and added gin-like aromatic notes.

NO-GRONI PHOTO: MIKE GARTEN. DRINK STYLING: ROSCOE BETSILL; PROP STYLING: CHRISTINA LANE.

In lieu of Campari, Steve used a bright red Italian soda called Sanbittèr. Paired with tonic water, it’s reminiscent of a refreshingly bitter aperitivo. He added an ounce of nonalcoholic dry red wine to nail the color.

Steve used a few drops of bitters to drive home the bitter notes of a classic Negroni. Bitters contribute a scant amount of alcohol, so skip them if you want to keep the drink totally alcohol-free.

A citrusy distilled nonalcoholic spirit from the company Seedlip took the place of gin.

Should you call it a “mocktail”?

Many bartenders say no because the term doesn’t sound serious enough for these complex drinks. Consider these terms instead: zero-proof, spirit-free, alcohol-free, no-ABV or soft cocktails.

Vallery Lomas has become famous for her baked goods, but before she was whipping up irresistible cakes and pies on her blog foodieinnewyork .com and in classes on the Food Network Kitchen app, she was sifting through heaps of paperwork as a full-time lawyer. “One day I was in my office staring at a wall and I realized I wanted to spend the best hours of my day giving baking a real shot,” she says. She quit her job three years ago and decided to turn her attention to recipe development. Step one: Finding a new apartment with a bigger kitchen. “I couldn’t even fit a 12-cup muffin pan in my old oven,” she says.

Her new space is giant by comparison, with great natural light, lots of counter space and, yes, a standard-size oven from GE. She also added baker’s racks and other storage for all of her tools and ingredients.

Shichimi!

Here’s how five Japanese chefs use the irresistible spice blend shichimi togarashi at home.

to compete with the fullflavored dashi broth in soba dishes, whereas Kansaistyle shichimi is milder so it won’t overwhelm the subtle-tasting dashi or kelp stock used in udon dishes, explains Hiroko Shimbo, author of The Japanese Kitchen. Take your pick, then follow these chefs’ recommendations for great ways to use it.

—Audrey Morgan

“Instead of using pepperoncini in a pasta dish, add shichimi. Or try it with a drink: At my restaurant Momosan Wynwood in Miami, we have a cocktail called the Spiced Car with shichimi around the rim.”

—Masaharu Morimoto Morimoto Management

Combine 2 ounces Japanese whiskey, ¾ ounce triple sec, ½ ounce yuzu juice and a bar spoon (or teaspoon) of honey in a shaker with ice. Shake well.

Make one of these beloved regional burgers at your next cookout.

BY

AUDREY MORGAN

s there any food more quintessentially American than the burger? Although it was inspired by Germany’s Hamburg steak, burgers have been a national treasure here since the late 19th century, when they started showing up at lunch wagons and roadside restaurants across the country. Over time, regional preferences emerged—and specialty burgers like these became iconic American favorites. Try one at your next cookout!

Two spots in Minneapolis claim to be the birthplace of the cheese-stuffed Juicy Lucy. The 5-8 Club says it came up with the idea in the 1950s, while nearby Matt’s Bar & Grill says that in 1954, a customer requested the creation and exclaimed “That’s one juicy Lucy!” after trying it. The rule for eating one is universal: Wait before taking a bite to avoid burning your mouth on molten cheese!

1. Mix the beef with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Form the beef into eight ¼-inch-thick patties. Fold each cheese slice into quarters and place a folded slice on 4 of the patties. Top each with another patty, then form the meat around the cheese to fully enclose.

Don’t mistake this San Antonio favorite for a vegetarian burger: The beanburger is a beef patty with refried beans, Fritos, onions and Cheez Whiz. The original, invented in the 1950s at the now-closed Sills Snack Shack, was likely inspired by refriedbean-and-guacamoletopped California burgers, but Cheez Whiz was swapped in for pricey avocados.

1½ pounds ground beef Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more as needed 2 onions, very thinly sliced (preferably on a mandoline) 8 slices American cheese 4 hamburger buns Ketchup, mustard and/or pickle slices, for topping

1. Preheat the oven to 250˚. Mix the beef with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl, then form into 8 balls.

2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 of the beef balls and slightly flatten with a metal spatula.

Place a handful of the sliced onions on each patty (you’ll use about a quarter of the onions for 2 patties—it will seem like a lot!) and flatten the beef into ¼-inch-thick patties, pressing the onions into each burger.

Cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip the burgers along

with the onions and cook until the onions are browned and tender, about 2 more minutes. Flip the burgers again, along with the onions, and top each with a slice of cheese. Cover and continue cooking until the cheese melts, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until serving.

3. Repeat with the remaining beef and onions to make 8 burgers total, adding more vegetable oil to the skillet if needed.

Serve 2 burgers on each bun with ketchup, mustard and/or pickles.

This burger was born in Oklahoma out of Depression-era resourcefulness: In the 1920s, cooks at El Reno’s Hamburger Inn used onions to stretch hamburger meat. That location has closed, but you can try a version at other El Reno restaurants like Johnnie’s Hamburgers & Coneys, Sid’s Diner and Robert’s Grill. To make one yourself, smash at least half an onion into each patty.

2. Add the beef, ½ teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the pan and continue to cook, stirring, until the beef is no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, ½ cup water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chili is thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.

Season with salt.

FOR THE BURGERS 1 pound ground beef Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 4 slices cheddar cheese ¼ cup yellow mustard 4 sesame hamburger buns ½ white onion, chopped

North Carolinians know how to pile it on: This burger is topped with cheese, chili and onions—plus a serving of slaw. Duke’s Grill in Monroe has had a Carolina burger on its menu since 1951, but the favorite is all over the region now: Wendy’s added it to the menu in North and South Carolina locations in 2019!

Barbecue Chicken with Onion-Bacon Jam

BASIC GRILLED CHICKEN CUTLETS ACTIVE: 20 min l TOTAL: 20 min l SERVES: 4 to 6

1. Place 1¼ pounds chicken cutlets (4 to 6) between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a heavy skillet or the flat side of a meat mallet until an even ½-inch thickness. Rub or marinate the chicken as directed (see individual recipes).

2. Preheat a grill to medium high and oil the grates.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper and grill until browned and well marked, 2 to 3 minutes.

Flip and grill until the chicken is cooked through, about 2 more minutes.

Tandoori-Style Chicken with Cilantro-Mint Sauce For the marinade: Combine ¾ cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt, 3 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, a 1-inch piece chopped ginger, 1 chopped shallot and 2 crushed garlic cloves in a food processor. Add 1 tablespoon each garam masala and sweet paprika, 1 teaspoon turmeric and ½ teaspoon kosher salt; puree. Toss with the chicken and let marinate while you make the topping.

For the rub: Combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon each smoked paprika and mustard powder and ¼ teaspoon each garlic powder and cayenne. Rub on the chicken; set aside while you make the topping.

For the topping: Cook 4 chopped slices thick-cut bacon in a dutch oven with olive oil over medium heat until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to paper towels. Pour out all but about 2 tablespoons fat, then add 2 chopped onions and cook over low heat, stirring, until caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon chopped thyme and 3 tablespoons bourbon; simmer 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the bacon, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, ⅓ cup cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce and ¼ cup water; simmer 2 more minutes.

Ginger-Miso Chicken with Quick Pickles For the marinade: Whisk 3 tablespoons each white miso and mirin, 2 tablespoons each rice vinegar, soy sauce and chopped ginger and 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil in a bowl. Toss with the chicken and let marinate while you make the topping.

For the topping: Puree 2 cups fresh cilantro, 1 cup fresh mint, ⅓ cup coconut milk, 1 small jalapeño, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and ½ teaspoon kosher salt in the food processor until smooth.

For the topping: Halve and thinly slice 2 Persian cucumbers, 1 carrot and 1 small red onion and thinly slice 1 Fresno chile; combine in a nonreactive bowl. In a small saucepan, heat a 1-inch piece sliced ginger, ½ cup rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1½ teaspoons kosher salt until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Pour over the vegetables and add 4 ice cubes. Refrigerate, stirring once or twice, until chilled, 30 minutes; drain.

Balsamic-Honey Chicken with Peperonata

Old Bay Chicken with Tartar Sauce

For the marinade: Whisk 3 chopped garlic cloves, ¼ cup each balsamic vinegar and olive oil, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon kosher salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes in a shallow bowl. Toss with the chicken and let marinate while you make the topping.

For the rub: Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon grainy mustard, the grated zest of 2 lemons, 2 teaspoons each Old Bay and sweet paprika and ¼ teaspoon cayenne. Rub on the chicken and set aside while you make the topping.

For the topping: Toss 2 quartered bell peppers, 1 sliced red onion and ¾ cup grape tomatoes with olive oil and salt. Grill the peppers and onion over medium-high heat, turning, until charred, about 6 minutes. Grill the tomatoes in a grill basket, 3 to 4 minutes.

Slice the peppers and chop the onion; toss with the tomatoes, ¼ cup chopped basil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon kosher salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes.

RED, WHITE AND BLUE MINI LAYER CAKES ACTIVE: 1 hr l TOTAL: 1 hr 25 min (plus cooling) l MAKES: 8

FOR THE CAKES Cooking spray 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (not dark cocoa) ¼ cup hot water 2¾ cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1½ cups vegetable oil 1½ cups granulated sugar 1 cup buttermilk 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar Red and blue gel food coloring

FOR THE FROSTING 12 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature 4 cups confectioners’ sugar ½ teaspoon salt 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract Assorted white sprinkles, for topping

1. Preheat the oven to 350˚. Make the cakes: Spray two 9-by-13-inch baking pans with cooking spray; line the bottoms with parchment paper and spray the parchment with cooking spray. Combine the cocoa powder and hot water in a small bowl and whisk until smooth; let cool slightly. Whisk the flour, salt and baking soda in a large bowl.

Combine the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, buttermilk, eggs, vanilla and vinegar in another large bowl, then add the cocoa mixture and whisk until very smooth. Add the flour mixture and whisk until smooth.

2. Divide the batter evenly between 2 medium bowls. Whisk 2 teaspoons red food coloring into one bowl until combined. Whisk 2 teaspoons blue food coloring into the other bowl until combined; add more blue food coloring, ¼ teaspoon at a time, to make the batter royal blue.

3. Evenly spread the red batter in one pan and the blue batter in the other. Bake until the cakes spring back when gently pressed and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 15 minutes.

Transfer to racks and let the cakes cool 10 minutes in the pans; carefully turn out the cakes onto the racks to cool completely.

Remove the parchment.

4. Transfer one cake to a cutting board. Starting at the very edge of the cake, use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out 12 rounds. (Do not leave any space between the rounds when cutting.) Repeat to cut out 12 rounds from the other cake.

5. Make the frosting: Beat the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until well combined. Add half of the confectioners’ sugar and the salt and beat on low speed to combine. Beat in the remaining confectioners’ sugar, then increase the speed to medium high and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Add the vanilla and beat until combined, about 30 seconds.

6. Assemble the cakes: Spread about 2 heaping tablespoons frosting on the top of each cake round. Stack them in tiers of three, alternating red and blue layers (some cakes will have 2 blue layers and some will have 2 red). Top with sprinkles.

tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pan 10 graham cracker sheets, broken in half 1 1½-quart carton mango ice cream 1 1½-quart carton vanilla ice cream 1 1½-quart carton orange-vanilla ice cream Whipped cream, for topping 1. Butter an 8-inch springform pan. Cut a 7-by-26-inch piece of parchment paper; press the strip around the inside of the pan so it extends above the rim (this will allow you to build a tall cake).

2. Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse until combined.

Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, cut the carton of mango ice cream in half with a serrated knife. Return one half to the freezer. Transfer the other half to a stand mixer and let soften slightly, then beat with the paddle attachment on medium speed until spreadable but not melted. Spread the ice cream evenly onto the crust with an offset spatula. Freeze until firm, 30 minutes to 1 hour.

4. Rinse out the bowl, then repeat step 3 with the vanilla ice cream, using half of the carton. Freeze the cake. When firm, repeat with the orange-vanilla ice cream, using half of the carton. Return to the freezer.

5. Repeat the layers with the remaining mango, vanilla and orange-vanilla ice cream, making sure each layer is firm before adding the next. Freeze the ice cream cake until completely firm, at least 1 hour.

6. Remove the springform ring and parchment. Cover the cake with whipped cream and freeze at least 10 minutes more.

Dulce de leche, butter pecan, vanilla and pistachio ice cream are all great options for these sandwiches!

SALTINE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment, leaving an overhang. Line the pan with 16 saltine crackers. Prepare an 18-ounce box dark chocolate brownie mix as the label directs; spread the batter over the crackers. Bake as directed; let cool. Top with ½ gallon softened ice cream and 16 more saltines. Freeze at least 4 hours or overnight.

Remove from the pan using the parchment overhang and slice between the saltines.

STRAWBERRY SUNDAE SAUCE Combine 3 cups finely chopped strawberries, ½ cup sugar, the juice of ½ lemon and 2 tablespoons water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the berries break down, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl; let cool completely. Spoon over strawberry ice cream.

When I’m building the ultimate crave-worthy milkshake, the key is always this: A LOT of ice cream.

GRILLED BANANA SPLITS Cut a piece off the curved side of 4 unpeeled bananas so they’ll sit level; make a deep slit down the center of each.

Open the slits and brush the inside of each banana with melted butter. Sprinkle with sugar and 1 ounce chopped semisweet chocolate each. Wrap the bananas in foil and grill over high heat until the chocolate melts, 6 to 8 minutes.

Open the peels and top the bananas with ice cream, whipped cream, sprinkles and a cherry.

ACTIVE: 30 min l TOTAL: 1 hr (plus cooling) l MAKES about 24

FOR THE CHOUX PASTRY ½ cup milk ½ cup water 1 stick unsalted butter Pinch of salt 1 cup all-purpose flour 4 large eggs FOR THE SAUCE AND FILLING 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped 1 cup heavy cream ¼ cup light corn syrup 2 to 3 pints ice cream (any flavor)

1. Make the choux pastry: Preheat the oven to 400˚. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Combine the milk, water, butter and salt in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until the liquid is shimmering and the butter is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the flour and stir to form a dough. Cook, stirring, until the dough releases from the sides of the pan and the flour smells slightly nutty but doesn’t brown, about 3 minutes.

2. Transfer the dough to a large bowl, add 1 egg and beat with a mixer on mediumhigh speed until fully combined. Beat in the remaining 3 eggs, one at a time, to make a sticky, glossy dough.

3. Transfer the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a ½- or ¾-inch round tip. Pipe mounds of dough on the baking sheet, 1 to 1½ inches

wide and about 1 inch high, spacing them 1 inch apart; press down the pointy tops with a wet finger. Bake until deep golden and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let the pastry puffs cool completely on the pan.

4. Make the chocolate sauce: Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring the heavy cream and corn syrup to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Immediately pour over the chocolate and cover the bowl; let sit 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth.

5. Assemble the profiteroles: Cut the pastry puffs in half horizontally. Fill the bottoms with medium-size scoops of ice cream (about 3 tablespoons each). Cover with the tops and spoon the chocolate sauce all over.

Serve immediately.

MOCHI ICE CREAM ACTIVE: 40 min l TOTAL: 2 hr 10 min (plus 5 hr freezing) MAKES: 8

1. Line a small baking sheet or an egg carton with plastic wrap. Scoop the ice cream into 8 tight round balls using a 1-ounce cookie scoop (about 2 packed tablespoons each). Freeze on the prepared pan or in the egg carton cups until solid, at least 4 hours or overnight.

2. Place a large piece of parchment paper on a work surface. Using a fine-mesh sieve, dust the parchment generously with cornstarch. (Use more cornstarch than you think you need—the dough will be very sticky.) In a large bowl, whisk the rice flour, sugar, water and food coloring until smooth. Pour the mixture into a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring and folding with a rubber spatula, until a stiff tacky dough forms, 5 to 7 minutes. (It’s OK if it looks lumpy at first; it will smooth out.) The dough should be very thick and feel slightly tough and rubbery.

3. Transfer the dough to the parchment and dust the top generously with cornstarch. Place another piece of parchment over the dough and carefully press into a thin disk. Let the dough cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.

4. Roll out the dough into a large round or oval, about ¼ inch thick. Using a 4- to 4½-inch fluted or plain round cookie cutter, cut out as many rounds as possible. Gather the scraps to cut out more rounds, dusting with more cornstarch as needed (you should have at least 8 rounds). Dust a plate with cornstarch; make sure the dough rounds are dusted with cornstarch, then stack them on the plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

5. Assemble the mochi: Use plastic gloves if you have them. Line a small baking sheet or a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, dust generously with cornstarch and place in the freezer. Fill a small dish with cool water. Working with one dough round at a time, gently brush off any excess cornstarch and place the round flat in your hand. Working quickly, place a scoop of ice cream into the center of the dough. Gently pull up the edges of the dough to enclose the ice cream, using a small dab of water if the seams aren’t sticking. Gently stretch, twist and pinch the dough together at the seams to secure. Immediately place the mochi seam-side down in the cold pan in the freezer.

Repeat with the remaining dough rounds and ice cream balls.

Cover the mochi with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, 1 to 2 hours. Let soften for a few minutes before eating.

Ice Cream

When Maneet Chauhan is on the road, she knows just where to stop for a frozen treat. aneet Chauhan lives in Franklin, TN, but she travels all over the country for her work as a chef and Food Network star.

And if you follow Maneet on Instagram (@maneetchauhan), you know that wherever she ends up, she makes a detour for ice cream. She also stocks a fair amount of her favorites at home to enjoy with her husband Vivek Deora and their kids Shagun, 10, and Karma, 6. “We keep obscene amounts of ice cream around, and we’re constantly ordering more,” she says. Here are some of her top picks! —Nora Horvath

Maneet loves these ice cream– stuffed doughnuts!

san francisco

This shop’s signature treat isn’t a typical ice cream sandwich: It’s a doughnut stuffed with ice cream and topped with hot fudge or candy. Maneet says you can’t make a bad choice! Delivery available in the Bay Area; milkbombicecream.com

chicago Atlanta This oldfashioned soda fountain has been open since 1921, and “it’s my hands-down Chicago favorite,” Maneet says.

She always gets a classic three-scoop sundae, served in a giant ceramic clamshell, and hand-dipped chocolates from the attached shop.

(773) 384-1035

The place is known for fun flavors like coconut-jalapeño and cream cheese–guava, but Maneet prefers a scoop of the PB&J sandwich: peanut butter ice cream swirled with strawberry sauce and vanilla wafer cookie pieces.

“It’s beyond words!” she says. morellisicecream.com

sandwiches are inspired by pie à la mode: Each is made with pie filling and shortbread cookies that mimic pie crust.

Choose from flavors like Boston cream, Key lime and the original pecan pie. Sixpacks ship along the East Coast; peacepieworld.com

This small shop sources its ingredients from local producers, which means organic strawberries in the strawberry ice cream and locally harvested wild honey in Maneet’s favorite flavor, honey lavender. mollymoon.com

This ice cream tastes like carrot halwa!

Maneet lives two hours from this tiny spot, opened by the son of a thirdgeneration candymaker.

All the ice cream mix-ins are made from scratch, down to the cookies, cakes, jams and sauces. Ships nationwide; clumpies.com

Pints from this Brooklynbased ice cream company kept Maneet and her kids happy during quarantine.

They love all of the South Asian–inspired flavors, but carrot halwa, orange fennel and masala chai are favorites.

CHICKEN AND CORN CHOWDER

SNAPPER ESCABÈCHE

ACTIVE: 40 min l TOTAL: 40 min l SERVES: 4

ACTIVE: 40 min l TOTAL: 40 min l SERVES: 4

3 ears of corn, shucked 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 4 slices bacon, chopped 1 large onion, ¾ chopped and ¼ thinly sliced lengthwise Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 1¼ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, chopped 4 cloves garlic, 3 cloves chopped and 1 sliced ½ teaspoon smoked paprika 4 to 6 sprigs thyme 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth 1½ cups shredded rotisserie chicken ¾ cup heavy cream

3

tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for brushing and for the grill 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks ½ cup coconut or rice wine vinegar ½ cup pineapple juice 3 tablespoons fish sauce ¼ cup packed light brown sugar ½ cup ketchup 1 bunch scallions 2 red bell peppers, cut into quarters Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 4 4- to 5-ounce skin-on red snapper fillets 2 cups cooked jasmine rice

1. Cut the kernels off the corn and scrape the cobs with the back of a knife to remove the liquid. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a dutch oven or other large pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel–lined plate with a slotted spoon; remove 2 tablespoons of the drippings and set aside.

2. Reduce the heat under the pot to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the chopped onion, corn and liquid, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onion is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

3. Add the potatoes and chopped garlic to the pot and season with the smoked paprika and thyme; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and 1 teaspoon salt; cover and bring to a boil.

Uncover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 6 to 8 minutes.

4. Smash some of the potatoes with a fork to thicken the soup.

Stir in the chicken and heavy cream and cook until the chicken is warmed through, about 3 minutes.

5. Heat the reserved bacon drippings in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until browned, 3 minutes, adding the sliced garlic during the last 30 seconds.

Remove with a slotted spoon to the plate with the bacon. Divide the soup among bowls; top with the bacon, onion and garlic.

1. Preheat a grill to medium high. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes.

Whisk in the vinegar, pineapple juice, fish sauce, brown sugar and ketchup. Bring to a steady simmer and cook until reduced by almost half, about 10 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, combine the scallions and bell peppers in a medium bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.

Season with salt and pepper and toss. Grill until well marked and tender, about 2 minutes per side for the scallions and 3 minutes per side for the peppers.

3. Score the skin side of the snapper fillets, making a few small slashes. Pat dry. Brush both sides of the fillets with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the fish skin-side down, covered, until it’s cooked around the edges, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook through, 3 to 4 more minutes.

4. Cut the scallions into 3-inch pieces and cut the peppers into ¼-inch strips. Divide the vegetables and fish among plates. Pour some of the sauce on top and serve the rest on the side. Serve with the rice.

2. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook, turning once, until browned and crisped, 1 to 2 minutes per side.

3. Add all but 2 tablespoons of the herbs to the salad and toss.

Divide among plates or bowls. Top with the shrimp and sprinkle with the remaining herbs.

1. Mix the crema, cilantro and lime juice in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Combine the beef with ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl; mix well. Divide the mixture into 8 equal-size balls.

2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray. Smash 4 of the beef balls into very thin patties. Add the patties to the skillet and cook, smashing them even more with a spatula, until browned, about 3 minutes. Flip the patties, top each with a slice of cheese and cook until the patties are cooked through and the cheese melts, about 2 more minutes for medium doneness. Wipe out the skillet, lightly coat with more cooking spray and repeat with the remaining beef and cheese to make 4 more patties.

3. Spread the crema mixture on the cut sides of the rolls. Place 2 patties in each roll with the salsa, lettuce, avocado and radishes.

Serve with tortilla chips.

What makes heirloom tomatoes so special? The seeds are the secret: Heirloom tomatoes come from seeds that have been passed down for generations—and each tomato looks and tastes a little different. Pick up a mix of colors and try them in Ina Garten’s crostata on the next page.

Forever

Ina Garten makes a savory version of her favorite kind of tart. ’ll always remember making my first crostata. It was from my friend Johanne Killeen’s cookbook Cucina Simpatica.

Johanne and her late husband George Germon started Al Forno it’s still one of my favorite places—and I just adore Johanne’s cookbook. Her apple crostata is both elegant and earthy, a flaky, buttery crust filled with sweet apples. It’s divine!

Over the years, I’ve played around with lots of other sweet crostatas, like one with a raspberry-rhubarb filling (it’s in my book Cooking for Jeffrey), but I also love savory crostatas. I make this tomato and goat cheese version with the same flaky crust (minus the sugar), a layer of creamy goat cheese on the bottom and big slices of gorgeous heirloom tomatoes on top. The trick is to bake it on an upside-down sheet pan: Because there are no sides on the pan to block the heat, the tart browns more evenly. This crostata, served with a salad, is a perfect summer lunch!

TOMATO & GOAT CHEESE CROSTATA ACTIVE: 30 min l TOTAL: 1 hr 50 min l SERVES: 4

FOR THE PASTRY 1 cup all-purpose flour Kosher salt ¼ pound (1 stick) very cold unsalted butter, diced 3 tablespoons ice water

RECIPE EXCERPTED FROM MODERN COMFORT FOOD. COPYRIGHT © 2020 BY INA GARTEN. PUBLISHED

BY CLARKSON POTTER/PUBLISHERS, AN IMPRINT OF RANDOM HOUSE, A DIVISION OF PENGUIN RANDOM HOUSE.

FOR THE TART 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter 4 cups chopped leeks, white and light green parts, spun dry (4 leeks) 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 pound heirloom tomatoes, cored and sliced ⅜ inch thick (see note) Good olive oil 4 ounces creamy fresh goat cheese, crumbled 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk, for egg wash Chopped fresh basil leaves and chives 1. For the pastry, place the flour and ½ teaspoon salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse to combine. Add the diced butter and toss carefully with your fingers to coat each piece of butter with flour. Pulse 12 to 15 times, until the butter is the size of peas. While pulsing, add the ice water all at once through the feed tube. Pulse to combine, stopping just before the dough forms a ball. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured board and form it into a disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for one hour.

2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450˚. Heat the 4 tablespoons butter in a large (12-inch) sauté pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add the leeks, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper and sauté for 8 minutes, until the leeks are tender and starting to brown. Set aside. Place the tomatoes on a plate, sprinkle them with salt and pepper and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Set aside.

3. On a floured board, roll the dough into an 11-inch circle, then place it on a sheet of parchment paper.

Turn a sheet pan upside down and transfer the paper to the inverted pan. Spread the leeks on the pastry, leaving a 1½-inch border. Crumble the goat cheese evenly on top. Arrange the tomatoes over the goat cheese, overlapping the slices because they will shrink. Turn the edges of the pastry up and over the tomatoes, crimping so they lie flat. Brush the pastry with the egg wash. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the pastry is nicely browned. Allow to cool on the pan for 5 minutes, sprinkle lightly with the fresh herbs and salt, cut in wedges and serve warm.

NOTE: Cut the tomatoes crosswise with a serrated knife. Use only the beautiful center slices.

Boil

Summertime in Charleston is all about seafood boils.

Kardea Brown shows us how they’re done.

w

hen Kardea Brown was growing up on Wadmalaw Island outside Charleston, SC, she’d often gather with family beneath the Spanish moss–covered tree in her great-grandfather’s yard, and they would spill endless buckets of boiled crab, shrimp, sausage, corn and potatoes onto a newspaperlined table. Like crawfish boils in Louisiana and clambakes in New England, Low Country boils are a regional summer staple—they’re super fun. These days Kardea carries on the tradition with her girlfriends, hosting a boil right on the beach whenever they visit. It’s the best kind of communal eating, she says. “Instead of breaking bread, we’re breaking crab.”

—Francesca Cocchi

KARDEA BROWN’S LOW COUNTRY BOIL ACTIVE: 15 min l TOTAL: 35 min l SERVES: 8 to 10

1. Heat an extra-large pot of water over medium-high heat (you can do this indoors or outside with a propane burner). Add the seafood seasoning and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and sausage and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Add the corn and cook until tender, about 5 more minutes. Add the crab and cook another 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, another 3 or 4 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan; remove from the heat and add the garlic and sprinkle with seafood seasoning. Drain the seafood mixture and transfer to a newspaper-lined table or a large platter.

Season with salt and pepper. Serve with the garlic butter.

Preheat a grill to medium high and prepare for indirect cooking: On a gas grill, turn off half the burners; on a charcoal grill, bank the coals to one side.

2. When the grill registers 375˚ to 400˚, brush the zucchini, bell peppers, cabbage and eggplant all over with olive oil and season generously with kosher salt and pepper. Place the vegetables on the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat) with the larger end of the eggplant closest to the direct heat. Cover the grill and cook for 40 minutes. Flip the vegetables, then continue to cook, covered, until you can insert a skewer into the center of each vegetable with little to no resistance (start checking for doneness after 30 more minutes—it may take longer, depending on your grill). Remove the vegetables to a board or platter as they are ready and let rest 15 to 20 minutes.

3. Slice the vegetables, drizzle with olive oil and vinegar and top with herbs, chiles and flaky sea salt.

When you’re grilling whole vegetables that are uneven in size, place the thicker part closer to the heat source.

1. Make the sauce: Combine the cilantro, mint, chiles, ginger, scallion, coconut, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a blender and pulse to make a coarse paste. Add the coconut milk, lime juice, vegetable oil and fish sauce and blend to make a smooth, slightly thick sauce. Season with salt. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.

2. Make the fish: Preheat a grill to medium high. Lay the banana leaves on a work surface, overlapping each about halfway, so the leaves are large enough to wrap around the fish, with the tail and head sticking out slightly. Lightly brush the banana leaves with vegetable oil. Cut three 24-inch pieces of kitchen twine and run under water to moisten (this will prevent the twine from burning on the grill).

3. Make 2 or 3 slits crosswise on each side of the fish, cutting about ½ inch into the flesh. Season the fish inside and out with 1½ teaspoons salt total. Stuff the lime and ginger slices, chiles, and cilantro and mint sprigs into the cavity of the fish. Set the fish at one short end of the banana leaves and roll it up, leaving the head and tail sticking out, then tie together in 3 places with the kitchen twine.

4. Once the grill registers 425˚ to 450˚, grill the fish until the banana leaves are charred, about 12 minutes. Flip and grill until the fish is cooked through, 12 to 14 more minutes.

(Because the fish is wrapped, it is difficult to test for doneness. The juices will run clear from the head and gills when poked.) Let the fish rest 5 minutes, then untie and remove the banana leaves. Lift the flesh from the bones and serve with the cilantro-mint sauce.

BUTTERMILK-BRINED ROTISSERIE CHICKEN ACTIVE: 1 hr l TOTAL: 3 hr 40 min (plus 4 hr brining) l SERVES: 4

Kosher salt ¼ cup packed light brown sugar 6 cloves garlic, smashed 1 tablespoon coriander seeds 2 teaspoons smoked paprika ½ teaspoon plus ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds) 3 cups buttermilk 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar ½ teaspoon ground coriander ¼ teaspoon garlic powder 1. Make the brine: Heat 1 cup water, ¼ cup salt, the brown sugar, garlic, coriander seeds, 1½ teaspoons paprika and ½ teaspoon cayenne in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring, until the salt dissolves. Let cool completely.

2. Put the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour in the brine and buttermilk; seal the bag. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight, turning once or twice.

3. About 30 minutes before grilling, remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry. Let sit at room temperature.

4. Prepare a grill with a rotisserie attachment according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Preheat the grill to medium and prepare for indirect cooking: On a gas grill, turn off the center burner(s); on a charcoal grill, bank the coals to the sides.

5. Combine the butter, vinegar, ground coriander, garlic powder and the remaining ½ teaspoon paprika and ⅛ teaspoon cayenne in a saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the butter is melted. Set aside.

6. Truss the chicken with kitchen twine: Tie the legs together and tie the wings close to the body so the chicken is a round shape. Once the grill registers 325˚ to 350˚, slide the chicken onto the rotisserie spit. Insert the prongs on the rod into the chicken so it’s snug; secure with the thumbscrews. (If the twine loosens, tie again.) Place the rod onto the rotisserie with a drip pan underneath; turn the rotisserie on.

7. Cover the grill and cook, basting the chicken with the butter mixture every 30 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 165˚ and the skin is browned and crisp, 2 to 2½ hours. (If using a charcoal grill, add coals as needed to maintain a temperature of 325˚ to 350˚.)

8. Turn off the rotisserie. For a gas grill, turn off the grill and let the chicken rest on the rod for 10 minutes before carving.

For charcoal, lay the chicken, on the rod, on a foil-lined baking sheet and let rest 10 minutes before carving.

Bank the coals to the sides and put a drip pan in the middle so it will catch any juices from the chicken and prevent flare-ups.

1. Separate the casings and rinse well, then transfer to a bowl and cover with cold water; soak 30 minutes. Drain and rinse the casings, then run water through the insides. Return the casings to the bowl, cover with cold water and refrigerate until ready to use.

2. Toss the pork shoulder, pork belly, garlic, brown sugar and 3 tablespoons each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread out on a baking sheet and freeze until cold but not frozen, 30 minutes to 1 hour.

3. Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil and annatto seeds in a small saucepan over medium heat until the oil bubbles around the seeds, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. Strain the oil through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. Mix the soy sauce and vinegar in a separate bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.

4. About 30 minutes before making the sausage, chill all parts of the meat grinder attachment of a stand mixer in the freezer.

5. Fit the grinder with a coarse-grind die.

6. Transfer half of the ground meat to the stand mixer bowl. Beat with the paddle attachment on low speed, slowly adding half of the annatto oil and half of the soy sauce mixture, 2 to 3 minutes; transfer to a separate bowl. Repeat with the remaining ground meat, annatto oil and soy sauce mixture; combine all the sausage in one bowl, cover and refrigerate at least 5 hours.

7. Set up a sausage stuffer attachment with a large tube. Lightly coat the tube with vegetable oil and slide a casing over it until 4 inches are left at the end; tie in a knot.

Fill the sausages (see directions at right for coils and links). Prick holes in the sausages every inch with a sterilized needle and refrigerate until ready to grill.

8. About 30 minutes before grilling, let the sausages sit at room temperature.

Preheat a grill to medium and prepare for indirect cooking: On a gas grill, turn off half the burners; on a charcoal grill, bank the coals to one side. Once the grill registers 325˚ to 350˚, lightly brush the sausages with vegetable oil and place on the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat).

Cook, covered, flipping once, 20 minutes.

Move the sausages to direct heat and cook, flipping often and moving the sausages around to prevent flare-ups, until browned and a thermometer inserted into the centers registers 155˚, 10 to 30 more minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

To control how much meat goes into the casing, apply pressure at the tip of the stuffer tube.

To make coiled sausages easier to handle on the grill, skewer with 2 long metal skewers in an X.

2 to 4 hog casings, plus more if needed (some may tear) 4 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into ¾-inch cubes 2 pounds skinless pork belly or pork fatback, frozen until firm, then cut into ¾-inch cubes 1 head garlic, minced 1½ cups packed light brown sugar Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper ½ cup vegetable oil, plus more for the stuffer attachment and the grill ½ cup annatto seeds ¼ cup soy sauce ¼ cup coconut vinegar or distilled white vinegar

TO MAKE COILED SAUSAGES: Put half of the ground sausage mixture in a bowl set in a larger bowl of ice, then start filling the stuffer, packing in the meat to prevent air pockets. Turn the mixer to medium-low speed and start stuffing the first casing, adding more of the meat mixture when the compartment is about half empty. If air pockets form, pop the casing with a sterilized needle, then gently squeeze the filling to fill any voids. Do not overfill the casing—it should be able to bend and flex. Once the first casing is full, slide it off the stuffer tube and tie a knot to seal; trim off any excess casing. Repeat to make another long sausage. Coil each sausage into a spiral and skewer each with 2 long metal skewers in an X. TO MAKE SAUSAGE LINKS: Follow the directions above for filling the sausages, but use only one-quarter of the ground sausage mixture per casing. Repeat to make 4 long sausages (do not coil).

Separate the sausages into links by pinching the sausage every 4 inches; twist the casings in opposite directions to make links.

Tie with kitchen twine, if desired.

For links, twist the casing in opposite directions every 4 inches. Use twine to tie off the sections, if desired.

On a gas grill, put the chips in a smoke box and set on the grates over direct heat.

1. About 2 hours before grilling, pat the steaks dry and return to the refrigerator, uncovered.

2. Season the steaks all over with the sugar and 2 tablespoons each kosher salt and pepper. Let the steaks come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, soak 1½ cups hickory wood chips in water, 30 minutes; drain.

3. Preheat a grill to very low and prepare for indirect cooking: On a gas grill, turn off half the burners; on a charcoal grill, bank the coals to one side. When the grill registers 225˚, add the wood chips: On a gas grill, fill a smoke box with the chips and place over direct heat; on a charcoal grill, sprinkle the chips over the coals.

4. Place the steaks on the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat) with the strip side (the larger side) closest to the heat. Cover the grill and cook the steaks until an instantread thermometer inserted into the centers registers 110˚, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes. Transfer the steaks to a baking sheet and tent with foil to keep warm.

5. Increase the grill heat and prepare for direct cooking: On a gas grill, turn on all of the burners; on a charcoal grill, build a hot fire with new coals. Once the grill registers 425˚ to 450˚, place the steaks over direct heat and cook, turning often and moving the meat around if it flares up, until a thermometer inserted into the center reaches 125˚ for medium rare, 10 to 15 minutes.

6. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Sprinkle with flaky salt.

GRILLED KETTLE CORN ACTIVE: 20 min l TOTAL: 20 min l SERVES: 2 to 4

⅓ cup popcorn kernels 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 2 teaspoons sugar ¾ teaspoon fine salt Smoked sea salt, for sprinkling 1. Preheat a grill to medium high. (If using a charcoal grill, make sure that the coals are several inches below the grate.)

2. Combine the popcorn, vegetable oil, sugar and fine salt in an 8- to 9-inch round disposable aluminum cake pan and stir to coat. Tear off two 18-inch-long sheets of heavy-duty foil. Crimp the end of one sheet around the rim of the pan on one side, then crimp the other end of the foil on the opposite side of the pan, leaving 5 to 6 inches of room above the kernels

so they have room to pop. Rotate the pan 90 degrees and repeat to crimp the second sheet of foil onto the pan, perpendicular to the first, making sure that the entire edge is well sealed. The foil should create a dome over the top of the pan.

3. Once the grill registers 350˚ to 375˚, put the pan on the grill. Wait until you hear sizzling, about 2 minutes, then, using tongs, start shaking the pan frequently until the popcorn starts to pop, 3 to 5 minutes (it’s important to keep the pan moving so the sugar doesn’t burn before the kernels start to pop). Continue to cook, shaking almost constantly, until the popping subsides, 3 to 5 more minutes.

4. Remove the pan from the heat and let stand a few minutes. Carefully cut an X into

the top of the foil and peel back the layers to expose the popcorn. Sprinkle with smoked sea salt. The popcorn will feel slightly sticky at first but will become crisp as it cools.

Popcorn needs room to pop: Form a dome over the pan using two crisscrossed sheets of foil; crimp against the edge of the pan.

STRAWBERRIES-AND-CREAM TART FOR THE CRUST 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk 2 tablespoons cold whole milk 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar 1¼ cups all-purpose flour ⅛ teaspoon baking powder 3 tablespoons granulated sugar ½ teaspoon salt 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into ¼-inch cubes

1. Make the crust: Whisk the vegetable oil, egg yolk, milk and vinegar in a bowl. Pulse the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a food processor to combine; add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Add the milk mixture and pulse once or twice, just to moisten the flour.

2. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom and pat into the bottom and up the sides. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes. Trim the edges, if necessary.

3. Preheat the oven to 350˚. Pierce the dough all over with a fork. Line with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans.

Place the pan on a baking sheet and bake 15 minutes. Remove the foil and weights; continue to bake until the crust is golden, 10 to 15 more minutes. Beat the whole egg with 1 teaspoon water, then lightly brush

over the crust and bake 5 more minutes.

Transfer to a rack to cool completely.

4. Meanwhile, make the filling: Sprinkle the gelatin over 1 tablespoon cold water in a bowl and let soften 5 minutes. Put the granulated sugar and vanilla seeds in a saucepan and rub the seeds into the sugar with your fingers.

Add 1 cup cream and whisk over medium heat to dissolve the sugar. When the mixture comes to a boil, remove from the heat and whisk in the gelatin mixture. Transfer to a bowl, then set in a larger bowl of ice water and stir with a rubber spatula until the mixture begins to thicken. Add the remaining ¼ cup cream and stir until thick, about 2 minutes. Pour into the tart shell and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.

5. Before serving, top the tart with the strawberries and dust with confectioners’ sugar.
