With a Cook’s Illustrated recipe, there is nothing you can’t bake well

Creating the best recipe is all about the journey. Baking truly is an art and a science, which makes a test kitchen full of four dozen creative and obsessive cooks with considerable time and resources exactly the right place to create the definitive collection of the best baking recipes.

The Cook’s Illustrated Baking Book is just that: 450+ foolproof recipes that you’ll come to treasure in a hardcover book guaranteed to wind up dusted with flour in your kitchen (that’s good!).

Blueberry Scones

Folding the dough and then sprinkling the berries leads to more balanced berry distribution and better-tasting scones.

Rustic Italian Bread

As with most rustic breads, we've found a sponge (a mix of flour, water, and yeast that is allowed to ferment) to be invaluable in giving the bread a deep, complex flavor.

Ultimate Turtle Brownies

Our foolproof, rich and chewy caramel topping makes these brownies transcendent.

Peach Shortcakes

Our recipe works well with any peaches, regardless of their quality, making them a worthy treat all year long.

The Geeky Chef Drinks

I will try to keep things as simple as possible, but I do recommend these five things:

1) Get a cocktail shaker. I cannot stress this one enough: The use of a cocktail shaker

can improve a cocktail by approximately 1,000 percent!

2) Embrace the bitters. Outside of the bartending world, unsavvy folks like you and

me may not understand the power and appeal of bitters.

3) Use simple syrups. This is the best way to sweeten a cocktail, period.

4) Adjust ratios to your liking! If you like a stiff drink, bump up the alcohol or reduce the mixers. If you like a mellower drink, lower the alcohol amounts and/or increase the non-alcoholic ingredients. If you like a sweeter drink, just increase the amount of syrup, soda, or juice.

5) Buy like the smarty-pants nerd you are. My advice is, buy the stuff you like in bulk at warehouse clubs, and if you’re not sure you’re going to like it, buy the little mini bottles.

Cantina.

Oga Garra’s Cantina is the hub of activity at Black Spire. Whether you need a drink or a job, you’ll find both here surrounded by some of the Outpost’s most interesting inhabitants.

Spaceport.

Even if you don’t fly to Black Spire Outpost, I recommend a stop at the spaceport to truly appreciate the Outpost’s bustling trade. Watch ships of all types come and go, filled with interesting crews and exotic cargoes.

Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo.

A rotating selection of chefs come from far and wide to sell culinary delights at this docking bay. A quick meal here will not soon be forgotten.

Old Outpost.

Reminders of Batuu’s ancient past lie just outside the city walls. Explore the cavernous ruins while you search for clues about a mysterious civilization long gone.

DRINKS AT OGA'S CANTINA

On each side you’ll find twenty-one drink dispensers—that’s forty-two taps in all. All of the regulars have their favorite drinks and aren’t shy about sharing their opinions.

Water, Tea, and Caf

The bar imports Kamino Rain water (still or sparkling). Looking for more flavor than that? Try the tea and caf selections. The hearty hot drink of the locals, Spiran Caf, is grown and roasted in the foothills of the mountains that stretch across Batuu. Like other varieties of caf served in diners throughout the galaxy, it will provide you a nice kick of energy. Try its richer variant, Black Spire Brew, if you prefer something sweet and cold. Imported all the way from Mandalore, Cassius Tea is made with the florets of the cassius tree and thought to be good for your health. Try the well-garnished Moogan Tea or the Tarine Tea, rumored to be a favorite of the First Order. If you prefer a sweet tea with a bit of a crunch, you’ll like the Sweet Root Tea.

Non-alcoholic Libations

Some travelers are surprised to find a cloud of smoke rolling out of the Carbon Freeze, which is far more enjoyable than actually being frozen in carbonite and comes with none of the carbon sickness afterward. Using the same locally farmed milk as the Milk Stand, the Blue Bantha served at Oga’s Cantina is topped with a special sweet snack.

The Felucian Fizz is a real crowd-pleaser on a hot day. Some say the concoction helps fight dehydration. The Blurrgfire can be found at taverns and cantinas across the galaxy, but Oga puts her own twist on this classic stand by. And if you want to sip on a regional favorite, try a Cliff Dweller, which is a deep orange color and big on flavor.

SERVICE YARD

Taking a quick stroll around the yard, visitors will notice a droid repair station. On any given day it's bustling with activity as astromechs and other such automatons wait in line for repairs or perhaps just a soothing oil bath. There is also a rather large Imperial probe droid, captured by local Batuuans many decades ago during the time of the Galactic Empire, hanging on a wall for all see.
