Bag of Nuts (and Seeds)

Delicious as a snack, nuts also make a valuable, nutritious and sustaining base to a meal, whether it be a light and summery Pecan, Pear and Nasturtium Salad, warming fall Chestnut and Mushroom Pie, a twist on the classic Italian dumplings in the form of Semolina and Nut Milk Gnocchi, or festive-inspired Roasted Onions with Nut Stuffing. Similarly, the unassuming seed is transformed into a creamy, spiced Tahini and Squash Dip, Sesame and Nori Cakes, or delicious puff-pastry Pumpkin Seed Rolls.
