This dish has an ideal combination of flavors and textures: soft and crunchy; sweet and nutty.

Crisp beans are paired with sour onions and a sweet maple dressing.

Serve any leftovers for breakfast, or as a light supper with salad.

Humble cauliflower and brussels sprouts become luxurious in this decadent gratin.

Two kinds of potatoes are thinly sliced and combined with cream, butter, cheese, and a mixture of herbs.

Melted cheese is a nice way to set off the blossoms' tangy green flavor.
