Dessert Recipe: No-Bake Peach Tarts with Ginger and Coconut (Gluten-Free & Vegan)
You could make these no-bake peach tarts because you can’t bear to turn on the oven on a hot summer day. You could make them because you’re gluten-free or raw or vegan or paleo or whathaveyou. Or you could make them because the combination of ripe peaches, ginger, and coconut is simply irresistible. Living in a small space means that turning on the oven heats up my whole apartment — cozy in winter, but in summer? Not so much.

Recipe: Vegan Banana & Chocolate Coconut Pie
From the filling to the whipped topping to the pie crust, coconut in its various forms makes an incredibly decadent vegan pie a reality. Neither the layer of banana slices hidden underneath a silky chocolate filling nor the fluffy whipped coconut cream topping need much of an introduction. If you love coconut and are looking for a vegan treat that delivers on flavor, this is it. But to be clear, the real star of this recipe is the incredibly flaky vegan pie crust.

Gluten-Free Recipe: Rhubarb Coconut Honey Tart
Jammy pink rhubarb, coconut custard, and a honey-rose water drizzle! Who needs gluten (or dairy or nuts or refined sugar, for that matter) when you’ve got all this going on?! A weeknight dinner was an unusual inspiration for this dessert, but the idea took hold as soon as I made the Fennel & Coconut Tart recipe from Vegetarian Everyday by David Frenkiel and Luise Vindahl of Green Kitchen Stories.

Recipe: Pear Tart with Walnut Crust
Fall is tart time for me, and I brought a few of my favorite autumn flavors to this dessert offering. It’s made with a rich walnutty tart crust, filled with creamy golden frangipane and topped with tender slices of spiced poached pears. And it holds a little gift for those of us baking for a diverse group: it just happens to be gluten-free. Don’t you love desserts that do it all? This tart has an element that may be unfamiliar: frangipane. What is it?

Recipe: Onion and Mushroom Tart
This is the time of year when I start craving savory tarts. This vegetarian tart has vinegar-roasted onions, mushrooms, and ricotta cheese, making it a great appetizer for a group, or a dinner for two when served with a side salad. Why not? It’s getting cold out there and sometimes you just need a dinner that feels like the food equivalent of sliding on a cashmere sweater: decadent and yet perfectly functional.

It’s spring, the sun is shining, and that feels like reason enough to celebrate. It’s just the right time to serve this bright, zingy lemon tart, a simple, no-bake dessert that combines Greek yogurt and bottled lemon curd in a tender pastry crust. It’s a pretty, no-fuss sweet perfect for a sunny weekend brunch. The first time I encountered the happy marriage of lemon curd and Greek yogurt was while catering a baby shower last spring.

Recipe: Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s Lettuce, Green Onion & Cheese Tart
During our month devoted to the glory of vegetables, we wanted to call out a few common yet perhaps under-appreciated vegetables and show a fresh, diverse set of ways to enjoy them. Last week, it was radishes; this week, lettuce. As Jill argued passionately yesterday, lettuce is not just the background to a decent salad. It’s not a bland way to shovel in your vegetables. Lettuce has a sweetness and a flavor all its own — and it deserves to be appreciated on its own terms.

Recipe: Butternut Squash Rose Tart
This savory tart is a stunner — there’s no denying that. Blossoms made of butternut squash ribbons, sage- and garlic-flecked ricotta, and a tender olive oil crust make for a dish that’s 100 percent worthy of any and all Thanksgiving dinners. But the best part? Your guests will appreciate just how fancy it looks, but they’ll never know just how easy it is to make.

While you could theoretically start the ice cream for this pie on Saturday morning and serve it that evening, it’s better and easier to think of this as a two-day affair.

How Do You Successfully Incorporate Coconut Oil into Pie Crusts?
Q: How do you successfully incorporate coconut oil into pie crusts? My crust recipe requires that you refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes (you can also freeze it up to three months before using). As soon as I did that, the coconut oil coagulated and I ended up with tiny pebbles of coconut oil in my crust as I rolled it out. I ended up picking them out and tossing them aside, as they were ripping holes in my crust.
