We challenged resident Bon Appétit supertaster Chris Morocco to recreate chef Bobby Flay's cheddar black pepper waffles with sausage in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen. The catch? He'll have to identify what he's making with a blindfold over his eyes, letting each of his other senses guide the way.

Armed with her new legume knowledge, Carla is eager to share.
Tristan Kwong's expertise has earned him the title of Fruit Sommelier—and he’s visiting the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen to share some of his rare fruit wisdom.

If Chris is the undisputed Test Kitchen super-taster, then Gaby is definitely the jelly bean super-taster. Seriously, how did she guess Dr. Pepper? Impossible! Anyway, join pastry chef Claire Saffitz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she attempts to make gourmet Jelly Belly jelly beans. This episode is 48 minutes long, so grab a stress ball and tuck in.

Join Andy Baraghani in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes this variation on a classic Thai recipe: mushroom larb with peanuts!
