CARAMEL SAUCE
Makes 1¾ cups

BANANA BOATS
MAKES 1 EDIBLE MARITIME SCULPTURE
“Don’t play with your food” is normally a good maxim. But exploring the texture and shape of raw foods as building blocks once in a while is a wholesome alternative to gingerbread houses. Don’t feel constrained by this design—use whatever you’ve got on hand.

PEAR SALAD
Makes 2 servings
Dehydrated pears are an unexpected salad garnish. Serve this salad with Lemon Dill Dressing. You may want to dehydrate large quantities in the autumn, when they’re inexpensive and at their peak of flavor, and snack on them for months to come.

Raw Mushroom Salad
RAW MUSHROON SALAD
Makes about 4 cups or 2 servings
Ancient Egyptians considered mushrooms a food for royal palettes—taste this salad and you’ll understand why. Mushroom varieties each offer distinct textures and flavors. My favorite mix for this dish is a combination of crimini and button, but use whatever is fresh and available.
