A tiny bakery at the northern tip of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula makes the best doughnuts in the state. That is our opinion, and after one bite of a thimbleberry-frosted doughnut from Jamsen’s Bakery, it will be yours too. Still don’t believe us? Gordon Ramsay stopped by for a taste himself in September 2020. He said, “This is wonderful.”

Cornish miners brought pasties to the Keweenaw, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, during the 1800s. The hearty, handheld meal was easy to carry underground and filling enough for a long day’s work. Long after the mines closed, the pasty remained — and today, it is one of the Keweenaw’s most beloved traditions.

This morning, I stood at the kitchen counter with a bowl of blueberries we'd just picked, holding warmth from the sun, dappled with raindrops, still.

Today I will talk about the top five dishes which are very famous in my home of Surat, India: Dhokla, Khandvi, Thepla, Jalebi-Fafda, and Sev Tameta nu saak. These dishes are so delicious; I love them. I love to cook, so I always try to make different types of dishes at home. These are very easy to make and very spicy. In my hometown, there are various stalls available on the street where people go with their friends and families—you can also find these dishes here.
