Recipe: Stephanie Izard's Malasadas

When we predicted that doughnuts from around the globe would be rolling across our plates in 2012, we guessed that the malasada, a small, yeast doughnut from Portugal, would be among them. Sure enough, we've learned that JBF Award nominee and Top Chef champ Stephanie Izard has been offering these sugar-cloaked fritters on the menu at her popular restaurant, Girl & the Goat. While the restaurant's malasadas were flavored with butternut squash, we have her recipe for the unadulterated doughnuts, which are delicious with ice cream, alongside a mug of coffee, or simply on their own.

Recipe: PDT's Paddington Cocktail

Inspired by Paddington Bear, this cocktail from New York City's PDT, one of the bars nominated for our new Outstanding Bar Program award, is flavored with a spoonful of orange marmalade (Paddington's favorite); its bitterness is kept in check by the honeyed notes of Lillet Blanc and the tropical, spicy character of white rum .
