Salted jaggery kulfi with caramelized bananas is the no-churn Indian ice cream I make all summer: evaporated milk and cream simmered with jaggery, frozen in molds until dense and fudgy. The hot honeyed bananas with salted peanuts take ten minutes right before serving....
Pan-fried pineapple with cardamom ice cream is my show-off dinner-party dessert that is secretly two easy jobs: a cardamom custard base made ahead, and pineapple seared in butter and honey at the last minute. The recipe runs nearly a full day start to finish, but...
Ginger and cardamom baked rhubarb is the easiest way to turn sour spring stalks into dessert: sugar, warm spices, and 20 minutes in the oven, with cold Greek yogurt doing the heavy lifting at the table. The cardamom is worth grinding fresh from the pod. It is also a...
Raw mango pie with almond-date crust is a no-bake dessert that tastes like pure mango. Soaked dried mango and two fresh mangos set with melted virgin coconut oil into a soft, silky filling over the nutty crust. Twenty-five minutes of work, then the fridge does the...
Wholesome pumpkin pie with whole-wheat crust sweetens its filling only with maple syrup and still slices like the classic — the coconut oil crust shatters, and the filling sets clean thanks to eggs and arrowroot. The Yogurt Cheese in the filling plays the tangy role...
The coziest baked apple recipe with pecan currant streusel starts with whole baking apples set in a bath of apple cider that steams into them while they roast. The streusel — oats, pecans, maple, cinnamon — crisps on top as the apples go tender. Sixty-five minutes,...

Spiced roasted acorn squash with maple and garam masala caramelizes at the edges while staying custard-soft inside, and it asks for almost nothing — oil, spice, syrup, and an hour of oven time. The microwave-first trick makes the cutting painless. Two generous...
Vegetarian shepherd's pie with root vegetables and tempeh piles a savory filling of onions, carrots, parsnips, and cabbage under a cloud of Yukon gold mash. Seventy minutes, one baking dish, and a dinner that reheats into something even better. This is the...
Rhubarb cherry berry crostata is pie with the pressure off: free-form dough folded up around a mound of rhubarb, cherries, and mixed berries — no crimping, no pan, no anxiety. The whole wheat crust uses chilled coconut oil cut in five portions, and the frozen fruit...
Peanut butter protein kisses are no-bake, done in 20 minutes, and legitimately snackable — oats, hemp seeds, flax, cranberries, and vegan chocolate chips bound with natural peanut butter and syrup. They live in my freezer door and disappear on hiking weeks....
Ooey-gooey banana chocolate chip bread pudding takes day-old whole grain bread and turns it into the warmest thing out of your oven all week. The custard is plant milk thickened with arrowroot, sweetened with both Sucanat and brown-rice syrup, and studded with bananas...
