Going Viral

While there are dozens of viral recipes buzzing around social media at any given moment, only a handful have staying power. Here are three worth making.

Oven-Fried Bacon (p. 114)

Radish & Herb Butter

There is nothing new about cooking bacon in the oven. Dredging it in flour first, however, is a recent trick that yields straight, extra-crisp rashers that are perfect for sandwiches.

Terrine (p. 114)

This artful play on the French pairing of radishes and butter goes back to 2021, but it only recently exploded on social. Our version whips the butter with a verdant herby oil.

Viral Dumpling Bake (p. 114) Danielle Brown @healthygirlkitchen came up with the clever idea of baking frozen dumplings in an aromatic broth of coconut milk and Thai curry paste. It’s an easy, one-pan wonder and guaranteed to become a part of your weeknight rotation.
