CARAMELIZED COCONUT CHIPS
MAKES 1 cup Thursday nights in the Joulwan household, circa the 1980s, were “popcorn night.” In sixth grade, I wrote an ode to popcorn, Such was my devotion to the salty snack. Even though it’s not on the paleo-approved menu, I still think of popcorn as my favorite…
PEACH ALMOND CRISP
SERVES 4 to 6 Warm, tender fruit nestled under a blanket of cinnamon-scented, crumbly topping is the very definition of summer dessert. In each bite of sun-kissed peaches, you can taste warm rains, dirt, and languid afternoons. Happily, this recipe works equally well…
BERRIES AND WHIPPED COCONUT CREAM

BABA GHANOUSH
ABOUT 2½ cups Baba ghanoush is a Lebanese dish, but cooks in Egypt, Turkey, India, and even Romania have their own versions: a little more tahini here, onion instead of garlic there. Slightly smokey and laced with garlic and sesame, baba ghanoush is as much fun to eat…
JICAMA “POTATO” SALAD
SERVES 4 to 6 Seemingly impenetrable, with an appearance between a potato and a rock, jicama is not the supermodel of the produce world. But remove that tough, dusty brown skin, and you’ll find a sweet, tender, juicy inside that’s remarkably similar to a potato….
RONI’S CREAMY CUCUMBERS
SERVES 4 It was the 1970s, and most weekends, we pulled out the wicker picnic basket—fitted with nesting plastic plates, bowls, and cutlery in red, blue, yellow, and green—to go to the lake for swimming and grilling. My favorite summertime salad was Mom’s cucumbers….
