Here is a recipe from King Arthur Baking for sourdough cinnamon rolls. I haven't tried it but have gotten a lot of good recipes from KAB. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2019/12/02/sourdough-cinnamon-buns

I did not buy it. But perhaps someday I will get a freeze dryer. Still not convinced that I would find it useful. Would like to try one out someday. Need a lending library of kitchen gadgets. 😉

Yesterday, I saw a small HarvestRight freeze drier at Costco for $1,599.99! Did not know that Costco was carrying this item. It’s approximately $500 dollars less than purchasing directly from HarvestRight. Now I have a sense for how tiny their small unit is. Photo I screen captured from Reddit: Also found a video with details of what is included with this Costco freeze drier bundle

Thank you @Smithy. Here is a link to the recipe https://www.toineskitchen.com/recipes/bruin-brood/

100% whole wheat sandwich loaf.

When I freeze, I cut the panettone into slices double wrap them in plastic wrap, put wrapped bundles of slices in aluminum foil and then into the freezer. Then I thaw a slice at a time. Has worked well for me.

My favorite fudgy brownie recipe.

Haven’t been to as many high end chocolate shops as Kerry but all the ones that I have been to in the USA, Canada, and Europe have clearly listed their prices. My chocolate sales brochures also include prices.

Whipped shortbread thumbprints from "Jam Bake" by Camilla Wynne. First recipe that I have tried from this book and they are delicious!

Wonderful selection of treats! Surprised that there are no marshmallows this year. Happy Holidays!

Dank je wel!

Delicious! Eet smakelijk 🙂

My two boxes of traditional panettone from Goûter! Enjoyed a slice with breakfast Saturday and Sunday. Have not tried toasting it or heating it, may try that if it starts to stale. Bringing the second panettone to the family holiday party -- if it hasn't been finished before then 😉 @Alleguede hard to believe but I think that you are right and this batch is even better than last years!

Thank you. Always good to have a recommended steakhouse (especially one that has good lamb)! All these suggestions are improving the odds that we’ll have some great meals. Is it possible to get into Keens without a reservation?

@weinoo Thank you for all the wonderful suggestions! I am definitely interested in getting a good black & white, rye bread, and rugelach! Orawasher & Breads Bakery are now on the list. Great to have your bagel suggestions. I will definitely stay away from those faux hipster bagels -- traditional options only for me. I'll save your bread bakery suggestions, much appreciated, I suspect we'll be eating out for every meal. Would be wonderful to pick up a baguette and some cheeses or pate for a meal but I think that will be another trip. Any other favorite places at Essex market? I'm now planning to visit Formaggio Essex. Thank you for the cocktail suggestions in FiDi, sounds like a good way to end the evening. I'll check the menus at Cervo's and Eel bar. Thank you for the gift link to the Times article. This trip will be with my husband's family and an assortment of eaters - adventurous to picky. I've sold them on Russ & Daughter's Cafe! Not interested in fine dining for this trip. A few in the group have never been to NYC so looking for some traditional fare as well as good local food. I am sure that they will want to get pizza. Don't know if they will be interested in Katz's Deli.
