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…

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….
