New Recipes Volume 22

 

Headed into 2024 I planned to scale back on the New Recipes series, limiting it to just two two-parters -- one in summer for material released late 2023 to mid 2024, and one in winter mostly for material released later in the year -- however, the timing of the New Recipes Specials back in July made it seem like a little overkill. I meant to post the first one soon after, in early autumn but let myself get carried away with the chronological Deep Dish Delicacies Specials instead. Last month I finally dropped the summer edition and keeping with the blog's long-running tradition, we're kicking off this new year with the winter edition, enjoy.
