Sweet Potatoes and Apples for Thanksgiving
Written by 1 Comment
Sweet and soothing, tart and rich, apples and sweet potatoes make a fall duet that is irresistable when sprinkled with spice and honeyed walnuts. I made these lovely layers with the help of a Japanese mandoline that will give you uniform slices in seconds. But there are plenty of other tools to make the prep time for your favorite Thanksgiving dishes go a lot faster without investing too much cash.

Apples contain a variety of phytochemicals, including quercetin, catechin, phloridzin, and chlorogenic acid, all of which are potent antioxidants. But most of the positive research states that the health benefits of apples lie in their skin.

During our recent trip to Bali, land of smiling faces, delicious coffee and scrumptious scenery, we enrolled in a cooking class near Ubud, Bali. Since I know very little about Balinese cuisine, this was a great adventure for me – and we had the honor of cooking with Chef Puspa Wati directly in her traditional home.
