Recipe News: Pop up these winning recipes

"No golden statue awards for this obvious suggestion: Get plenty of buttered popcorn ready for Oscar-watching time. But there will be rewards for preparing homemade versions that will taste good whether you pick the screen winners or not.

You can try out recipes, then pick the one you like best for after-party occasions, too, which you can decide to hold whenever — for months and months to come, until next year’s Oscars if you want.

The following recipes, varied to satisfy both sweet-tooth types and salt lovers, are simple to make, with butter and seasonings. They can be ready in just a few minutes, and they’ll fill the kitchen with the classic ah-roma of the cinema.

Cinema Sage Butter Popcorn

California Almond Butter Popcorn
