Mama Kelce's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Donna Kelce had been bringing these to her sons' football games for years before anyone outside Ohio knew her name. Then came Super Bowl 57, a jersey split down the middle — half Eagles, half Chiefs — and a plastic container she handed to Travis and Jason on live television. The photo spread everywhere. People immediately wanted to know what was in those cookies. She shared the recipe on the Today Show. Turns out: two kinds of chocolate, cake flour, cinnamon, and butter that goes in melted rather than creamed. Small differences that add up.

Strawberry Matchamisu with fresh strawberries, mascarpone and matcha powder — Japan recipe

🇯🇵JapanMedium

Sweet Dishes

Strawberry Matchamisu

A no-bake layered dessert that swaps the espresso in tiramisu for a bowl of whisked matcha and replaces the cocoa dusting with more matcha on top. Fresh strawberries go in the cream and between the layers. It sets overnight into something silky and cool with a faint bitterness from the green tea that keeps the sweetness in check. The name is a portmanteau, and the dessert earns it.

Matcha Latte with ceremonial grade matcha powder and whole milk or oat milk — Japan recipe

🇯🇵JapanEasy

Beverages

Matcha Latte

Ground shade-grown green tea whisked into a paste with hot water, then brought together with steamed milk. The result is grassy, vegetal and slightly sweet all at once — nothing like green tea-flavored syrup. Made properly at home with ceremonial-grade matcha, it's a genuinely different drink.

Flour Tortillas (Tortillas de Harina) with plain flour, salt and lard — Mexico recipe

Flour Tortillas (Tortillas de Harina)

Tortillas de harina are the defining bread of Northern Mexico — particularly Sonora, where the Sonoran Desert's wheat-growing tradition produced a flatbread entirely different from the corn tortillas of central and southern Mexico. Made from just flour, lard, salt, and hot water, they are rolled thin and cooked on a dry, screaming-hot comal until dark blisters (leopard spots) appear and the tortilla puffs with steam. The result is soft, pliable, slightly chewy, and deeply wheaty — the essential wrapper for carne asada, burritos, quesadillas, and tacos. Lard is the defining ingredient: it coats the flour proteins, preventing excessive gluten development, and produces a tender, flexible tortilla that stays soft even when cold. Vegetable shortening is a practical substitute; butter gives richness but less pliability.

Iced Matcha Latte with matcha, milk and honey — Japan recipe

🇯🇵JapanEasy

Beverages

Iced Matcha Latte

Three ingredients and five minutes. Matcha whisked with a small amount of hot — not boiling — water, poured over ice and milk. The result depends almost entirely on the quality of the matcha powder: good ceremonial-grade matcha is sweet, grassy, and vivid green; cheap culinary-grade matcha is dull, bitter, and yellow-green. Buy the better one. The milk is a matter of preference — oat milk is naturally sweet and works well, whole dairy milk is richer, almond milk is thinner. There is no wrong answer.

Banana Matcha Latte with matcha powder, banana and milk — USA recipe

🇺🇸USAEasy

Beverages

Banana Matcha Latte

A naturally sweet, iced twist on the matcha latte: matcha whisked into a smooth paste, blended with a ripe banana and milk, and poured over ice. The banana does the sweetening and gives it a creamy, smoothie-like body, so you often don't need any added sugar. The one rule carries over from a plain matcha latte — make the paste first, or it turns gritty.
