Valentine's Day Recipe: Chocolate–Rosemary Bombolini

by Anna Mowry on February 07, 2012


Given the recent remaking of the doughnut from a greasy junk-food symbol to a well-crafted artisanal treat, it's high time that anyone on the hunt for a special Valentine's Day gift should consider the various forms of the fritter. We think that dainty, sugar-dusted bombolini, the Italian analogue of the doughnut hole, are the perfect candidate, and we'd be thrilled to receive a box from Washington-based pastry chef Matthew Kelley; his elegant, pillow-soft bombolini are filled with a silky chocolate ganache that's brightened with the lush scent and flavor of rosemary.

by JBF Editors on February 03, 2012

shrimp rillettes

Your football buddies might raise an eyebrow if you serve this oh-so-French-sounding spread from Atlanta-based chef Linton Hopkins at your Super Bowl party. But once they get a taste of the sweet shrimp paste that's been whipped with cayenne pepper and a generous dose of butter, they'll be parked by the ramekin for the rest of the game, alternating between rillettes-slathered chips and slugs of all-American lager. Get the recipe here.
