Homemade Oreos!

 

Sofrito Lovers,

Homemade Oreos!  Oreos made at home!  As many as you want-ANY TIME!  What could be better?  The very idea sends me into a Diabetic coma; a happy Diabetic coma!

All jokes aside, this Tasty video tutorial on making homemade Oreos is a revelation!  Imagine being able to make this indescribably delicious snack at your own leisure; it's pretty incredible! I'm all over it!

This weekend, the pastry chef in me is getting out his mixer, spatula, and pastry bags with one goal in mind: One Dozen Homemade Oreos!  Watch the video below and get your bake on this weekend!  Watch, bake, and taste for yourself!  ¡Buen Provecho!

The 38 Essential NY Restaurants, Spring 2017

 

Sofrito Lovers,

Just in time for the weekend, the geniuses at Eater.com have updated their 38 Essential NY restaurant list for the Spring, so start planning that foodie weekend NOW!

With old faves like Mission Chinese and new places like Momofuku Noodle Bar, this list will point you in the right direction when it comes to good food in NYC!  Again, I lament the lack of Uptown representation-where are the Harlem and Washington Heights eats?

This is inspiring me to make my own list and get it out there, ASAP!  Look out for the Sofrito Essential List to Uptown Restaurants coming your way soon!

Until then, check out the post below and go taste for yourself!  ¡Buen Provecho!

It's time to update the Eater 38, your answer and ours to any question that begins, "Can you recommend a restaurant?" This highly-elite group covers the entire city, spans myriad cuisines, and collectively satisfies all restaurant needs, save for those occasions when you absolutely must spend half a paycheck. Every quarter, we add pertinent restaurants that were omitted, are newly eligible, or have stepped up their game. Restaurants must be open at least six months to be included.

A Spoonful of Sofrito: DIY UNICORN Frappuccino!

A Spoonful of Sofrito:  A pinch of advice that will add a lot of flavor to your life.

DIY UNICORN Frappuccino!

Sofrito Lovers,

I avoid corny food fads like the fucking plague!  Normally, I wouldn't give a hot damn about this Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino bullshit, but after tasting one of these tie-dye hipster concoctions I've got to admit they're pretty delicious!

As many of you now, I hate coffee with a passion, but this rainbow unicorn thing (Why unicorn, anyway?) is a lot more milkshake than coffee!  Honestly, it's a sour/sweet sugar bomb, but I do recommend people go out and try it or make your own!

This weekend, I came across this post from Emmymadeinjapan, one of my favorite YouTube channels, that teaches you how to make your own unicorn frapp at home.  Honestly, I'm super tempted to make one next weekend as a dessert drink for David!  I'll let you know how he likes it!

Check out the post below and go taste for yourself! ¡Buen provecho!
