Caramel Pots De Crème

All the textbooks say the same thing: cooking granulated sugar until it turns into caramel involves complex chemistry. And I'm sure they are right. But I'm just as sure that what turns sugar into caramel is magic. Not only is caramel simple, but it is also versatile. Caramelized sugar mixed with butter and cream makes candies soft as taffy or hard as lollipops; thinned with water, it makes a glaze; thinned with cream, it makes a sauce; added to chocolate, it provides complexity; and added to custards, it can provide all the flavor needed for a spoon dessert. This luscious, golden pudding is a perfect example.

Rye Tarte Tatin

Rye flour adds an earthy flavor and soft, cakey texture to this otherwise classic tarte Tatin, which is topped with glossy, nearly candied apples cloaked in caramel. A tangy yogurt sorbet offsets the sweetness, but crème fraîche, a dollop of sour cream or a spoonful of plain Greek yogurt would also work nicely as an accompaniment. This recipe is adapted from the chef Moko Hirayama, who serves it at Mokonuts, the Paris restaurant and cafe she owns with her husband, the chef Omar Koreitem.
