Step right up — it’s time to bring the fairground home! Chef Joe Sasto’s Strawberry Dusted Funnel Cake is a playful twist on the nostalgic carnival classic. This recipe takes the familiar crispy, golden swirls of deep-fried batter and dresses them up with a blushing dusting of strawberry-infused powdered sugar. The result is a treat that’s light, crisp, and delicately sweet — the kind of dessert that begs to be torn apart and shared while it’s still warm.

Sweet, spicy, and perfectly caramelized - Chef Joe Sasto's vibrant twist on a humble root vegetable. These chile-honey roasted radishes transform crisp, peppery radishes into something entirely new. Tossed with olive oil, honey, chiles, and thyme, they roast into tender, golden bites with a delicate balance of heat and sweetness. A quick trip in a hot oven gives them irresistibly caramelized edges while keeping just enough bite inside.

Chef Joe Sasto reimagines classic beef stroganoff in this rich, indulgent pasta bake that’s perfect for cozy nights or dinner with friends. The dish starts with short pasta like rigatoni or cavatappi, which is combined with seared strips of top sirloin, deeply caramelized onions and mushrooms, and a creamy sour cream béchamel sauce. Finished with a generous topping of shredded mozzarella, the assembled pasta melt is baked until golden and bubbly. The result is a hearty, satisfying fusion of pasta comfort food and stroganoff flavors—savory, cheesy, and irresistibly creamy. Garnish with sour cream or fresh herbs for a final touch. Serves 4–6 and comes together in about an hour.
