Quick and Easy

Serve with slices of ripe bananas or a sprinkle of toasted shredded coconut.

This curry uses tempeh instead of traditional pork. To make it vegan, use salt instead of fish sauce. Great over hot brown rice.

If you like, serve with a creamy, low-FODMAP remoulade.

Fast, easy, and party-worthy. You could substitute apricots for the figs.

Serve these preserves with cheese and prosciutto as an appetizer, add it to sauces for fish or poultry, or simply spread on toast.

A terrific party dessert. This method works with just about any dried fruit; we love apricot, mango, papaya, and pineapple.

Stunningly good. Don’t throw away the muddled apricots; transfer to a bowl until the ice melts, and then drain and use in cookie dough batter or on top of yogurt.

These aromatic, no-sugar cookies pair wonderfully with a hot cup of oolong tea. Dates provide sweet flavor and moist texture.

This luscious frozen treat, sweetened only with dates, is as tasty as it is healthy.
