Lemon-Herb Shortbread Cookies

These surprisingly sophisticated cookies are made with less butter than traditional shortbread, and almond flour replaces some of the refined white flour for extra nutrients. Get a head start by making the dough up to a month ahead and freezing it. Serve these cookies on their own, or as part of a pretty post-dinner spread with fruit, nuts, and dark chocolate.

Pear Tarte Tatin

A little indulgence goes a long way in this luscious tarte. Our version has less butter and sugar than usual and instead relies on the pears’ juices to create a mouthwatering caramel sauce. Don’t be tempted to use Bartlett pears in this recipe, but Bosc will do in a pinch. The unsweetened whipped cream is perfect counterpoint to the caramelized fruit.

Tropical Fruit Bundt Cake

White whole-wheat flour is the magic ingredient in this crowd-pleaser, giving the cake whole wheat goodness, while maintaining a tender crumb. What exactly is white whole wheat flour? It’s a whole-grain flour made from a different strain of wheat than traditional all-purpose or whole wheat flour. It has the nutrition of traditional whole-wheat flour, but the lighter color, taste, and texture of all-purpose.

Dark Chocolate–Pistachio Tart

We’ll say it. This rich dessert is just plain sexy. And because it’s so intense, you only need a small slice to be thoroughly satisfied. Either almonds or hazelnuts could stand in for the pistachios. The crust is made of heart-healthy nuts, no flour necessary, so this baby is gluten-free too.
