These potatoes are easy to make. Crispy on the outside. Soft and delicious on the inside. Wondering where the name came from? Some people think it’s a potato variety, but the name Hasselback is taken from the Swedish restaurant where the potatoes were originally cut in a way that made them fan out. Get the recipe here.

Thailand – Broccoli and Thai Tahini
The superstar of the recipe is the sauce – inspired by the flavors found in a traditional Thai Peanut sauce, but with the benefits of being soy-free, nut-free, and sugar-free! Tahini, a paste made from sesame seeds (a great source copper, manganese, and calcium among many other minerals), is used in place of the peanut butter.

Rebecca Masson of Houston’s Fluff Bake Bar obsesses over the texture of her desserts: “I don’t like toothless apple pie,” she declares. So she fills her crust with Mountain Rose apples – a super-crisp variety – then tops them with a thick layer of buttery, oat crumble. Recipe excerpted from Desserts by the Editors of Food & Wine.
