I watched it because it was a Best Picture Nomination and I liked the cast. It didn\u2019t strike me as my kind of movie. But boy, was I wrong. It was so rich and well-acted. The only problem I had with it was when it ended \u2013 I WANTED MORE!!!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s always interesting to me that futuristic movies always feel so primal. As if civilization has died off but kept the cool toys. Lots of desserts, simple \u201cgown\u201d clothing, and not a wisp of abject joy. Soooo serious. And with all that tech, they always have some mysticism. Is that the formula? Clearly it\u2019s a winner.<\/p>\n<p>I am never a fan of one-name movies. It really limits how I can move forward for the best dish. Having nothing to do with the plot of the movie, that they called the special mineral SPICE gave me such joy. YES!!! Whatever it would become, sweet or savory, it was gonna have some type of distinguishable spice! Woo hoo! But back to the name. One darn word. There was a lot of talk of \u201cPrune\u201d \u201cCardone\u201d (pronounced car-DUNE)\u2026 but no. Zounds!!!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/CJP2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8358 img-responsive alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/CJP2-300x297.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/CJP2-300x297.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/CJP2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/CJP2.jpg 375w\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"223\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I was getting close to making a decision that wasn\u2019t going to delight me, when I got a text from my amazing cousin, Chris Plati, with a list of suggestions for the whole menu that included the winner, \u201cYou\u2019re going to do Dunuts for Dune, right?\u201d YES!!!!!!! It hadn\u2019t occurred to me! Instant yes! He\u2019s the best!!!!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d done different versions of donuts in other menus, notably, for Argo we did\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/dessert-oscar-menu-2013-ardo\/\">Ardo<\/a>. I\u2019d never made the more typical Dunkin\u2019 Donuts-esque fried donut with filling. But I was undaunted \u2013 let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n<p>I decided on a yeast donut to be as true to the vision that I had. Admittedly, I haven\u2019t done many yeast-y recipes, but when I have, the results are incredible. I was psyched! It\u2019s a little creepy when you think about it. The yeast has to be \u201calive\u201d so it can turn these foodstuffs into a double-sized big puff. Wacky!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ingr2-2-scaled-e1677615644958.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8361 img-responsive alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ingr2-2-scaled-e1677615644958-300x250.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ingr2-2-scaled-e1677615644958-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ingr2-2-scaled-e1677615644958-1024x853.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ingr2-2-scaled-e1677615644958-768x640.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ingr2-2-scaled-e1677615644958-1536x1279.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ingr2-2-scaled-e1677615644958.jpg 1644w\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ingrspice2-scaled-e1677615702467.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8362 img-responsive alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ingrspice2-scaled-e1677615702467-300x282.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ingrspice2-scaled-e1677615702467-300x282.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ingrspice2-scaled-e1677615702467-1024x962.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ingrspice2-scaled-e1677615702467-768x721.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ingrspice2-scaled-e1677615702467.jpg 1348w\" alt=\"\" width=\"267\" height=\"251\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The only thing you need is a moment of patience to let it rise. But after that, these are so much fun to make! Another thing I haven\u2019t done too much of is big hot oil frying. Lots of sauteeing, yes. Like the baby pool of oil cooking. But this was going to be an 8ft deep olympic sized pot. I know, it isn\u2019t that big and now my thoughts have changed but until you get comfortable, you have to see it as you feel it. But I\u2019m over it. Gimme the oil and the big pot! Let\u2019s get frying!<\/p>\n<p>And of course, thanks to the sandy terrain of Dune, I had to SAND them with a spicy sugar mixture. Adding the optional special metallic sugar gave them an authentic flash to really embrace the spice in the movie. I love that!<\/p>\n<p>When I tasted the first one, I did a little dance \u2013 yes!!! It is so much fun when what I want them to be and what they become line up so deliciously! And the best part is, as opposed to the movie, this spice will not be the subject of warring factions. It will be the treat that brings everyone together!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s the 2022 Red Carpet Menu for Oscar\u00ae! For\u00a0Dune, it\u2019s\u00a0Dunuts!
