It's the uncomplicated combination of butter, sugar, and fresh fruit that will overwhelm your senses and reach the very deepest part of you.

Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with Butternut Squash, Pomegranate, and “Fried” Goat Cheese

We've all come to appreciate the crispy, caramelized flavor of a well-roasted sprout, but have you ever tried them raw? Sliced nice and thin, raw Brussels sprouts have a texture more tender than cabbage, but more substantial than lettuce. They can stand up to a myriad of bold toppings and dressings without ever taking over. Raw Brussels sprouts are sweet, mild, and fresh. This recipe combines Brussels sprouts with butternut squash, pomegranate, and goat cheese for a delicious and well-rounded salad. — Coley Cooks

But then again, which French dish is? These potatoes are all about moderation, even if you desperately want to lick the pie dish clean. — Mon Petit Four
