It’s Corn (It’s Not Corn)

Chifa’s corn jelly. | Wonho Frank Lee/ Eater LA Fake corn desserts are having a moment — one that started even before the viral TikTok trend took over When the Peruvian-Chinese restaurant Chifa opened in Los Angeles in late 2020, its dessert grabbed Instagram’s attention instantly: almond jelly in the shape of a corn cob, from jelly cake creator Lexie Park of Nunchi. The dessert hinted at trompe l’oeil — illusions that trick the eye — while also finding footing in the uncanny valley. Pale white, the jelly corn looked like Bunnicula had gotten ahold of one of summer’s best ears, while a pastel purple version looked as though it had been grown on another planet. What seemed like a one-off fascination has shot to niche trend status this summer as more bakers play with desserts that look like corn, but aren’t. Of course, corn is currently having its moment, even more than in previous summers: After an interview of a child sharing his love of corn went viral on TikTok this month, a ...

Honey chipotle wings are sweet and spicy and pack a punch of flavor! You will definitely want to serve them as an appetizer on any game day, and they will be the hit of the party! Wings are the perfect appetizer for any party. The guests go crazy over them; my family loves them… They are just the best! Try out some more of my favorites like these Thai glazed chicken wings , these parmesan garlic wings , or these amazing and crispy air fryer chicken wings . Whether you like sweet or spicy, I have something for everyone! Honey Chipotle Wings Recipe The very first question that I always get asked when it comes to wings is, “Are they spicy”? People either want to know because they don’t like heat or they loooove the heat. These honey chipotle wings fall into the middle category. Chipotle is spicy on its own, but when you combine it with honey using this sauce , then it tempers that heat just a bit. Chipotle peppers come in a can of adobo sauce which tempers the flavor a bit. The pep...

Air Fryer Sweet Plantains (Maduros)

Image
Air Fryer Sweet Plantains or Maduros are an easy and healthy way to make this classic Latin side dish. Air Fryer Sweet Plantains I grew up eating plantains every way you can imagine! Depending on the ripeness of the plantain, you’ll get different results. Mom makes them on the grill or fries them but I love making them in the air fryer ! For sweet maduros, the best plantains are the ones that have black skins and tender flesh. The darker the skin, the sweeter they are, which is exactly what you want. Make these Air Fryer Maduros along with my Picadillo , Carne Bistec , or any Latin dish you like. And if you’d like to try more plantain recipes, check out my Air Fryer Tostones , Turkey Picadillo Stuffed Sweet Plantains , and Turkey Pastelón (Sweet Plantain Lasagna) .

At home, I fly through tahini at an alarming rate, adding it to almost everything I make. I have a gift (though some may say it’s a curse) for making the creamy, toasty Middle Eastern staple disappear, spreading it on toast with honey and cinnamon, swirling it into brownie batter, or blending it with garlic and lemon to make a sauce.
