Almond

This wheat- and refined sugar-free crumble is a healthier way to bake with the season’s ripe berries.

An indication of knowing someone really well is knowing which foods they love, like, and hate. My father loves this recipe, and I was told by Kyria Loula, who knew him as a boy, that it had to go into the book just for him. If you follow his taste buds, the more garlic the better. If you follow mine, start slow, taste as you go, and add more garlic as needed.

These superfood-filled, protein-packed, chocolate-and-espresso–covered bites are perfect for a pre-workout boost or mid-day recharge.

The easiest and most refreshing summer dessert? Water and sugar, frozen and scraped into fluffy “shaved ice.” Sweetened blackberries tossed with lime juice make an excellent topping.

Saffron rice is an indispensable accompaniment in Persian cuisine, and it tastes just as good made with fluffy quinoa. Crushing and steeping the saffron in hot water brings out its full flavor and color. If you have coconut oil on hand, the naturally sweet flavor pairs nicely with the cherries and almonds.

These sugary, salty, fatty almonds are how diners can begin a meal at Jeremy Fox's Rustic Canyon. Thanks to a tactical addition of lavender, your guests will actually talk about them.

Although it may sound purely indulgent, this steak dinner is packed with nutrients, from home-sprouted lentils to flavorful nutritional yeast. (But yeah, it tastes pretty decadent, too.)

I used to be put off by poaching chicken as I feared it was more complicated than my simple fried version. But it's actually much easier, because while the chicken poaches you can prepare the rest of the food. These days I often poach 3 or 4 chicken breasts at a time, then keep them in the fridge so I can toss them into salads over the following days. Poaching really helps to keep the moisture in the meat, so the end result is much more enjoyable than dried, overcooked chicken.

Why spend all of that money on a breakfast bowl that you can easily make at home? This hearty, gluten-free bowl takes just minutes to throw together and is absolutely delicious.
