When Lilliana Alemán had the buñuelos at Harborside Restaurant in Newport Beach, she knew she needed to have them again.

“I went with my family to watch the whales at Newport Beach and had lunch at the Harborside Restaurant. Although we were stuffed, we decided to try the buñuelos, and, boy, were they delicious! We live an hour away from the restaurant but would take the trip just to eat them again. Is it possible for you to get this recipe?”

Harborside Restaurant was happy to share the recipe for its buñuelos, otherwise known as deep-fried banana and cream cheese stuffed into thin flour tortillas and topped with warm caramel. The recipe was tested and recreated by Test Kitchen Director Noelle Carter.

Soup may be the last thing on anyone’s mind during a heat wave, but in Food Editor Russ Parson’s California Cook column this week, he introduces readers to cold dairy soups. They’re perfect for this time of year and work nicely as either an appetizer or a main course.
