Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Oil an 8-by-8-inch baking pan.
- Put the figs and dates in a medium bowl and cover with very hot water until soft, about 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to a food processor; process until very smooth.
- Put the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 second increments, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda in a small bowl.
- Add the melted chocolate and oil to the fruit puree and pulse to combine. Add the eggs and vanilla and pulse to combine. Add the flour mixture and pulse until just combined. Then add 1/2 cup of walnuts and pulse until the walnuts are in pieces about the size of peas.
- Transfer the brownie batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Break up the remaining 1/4 cup walnuts into small pieces and push into the top of the batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out moist with a little bit of batter clinging to it, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a rack. Cut into 16 squares. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

THE BEST FUDGY BROWNIES
We've created the perfect brownie by employing a few tips and tricks. Using both semisweet chocolate and cocoa powder gives us the deep and complex chocolate flavor we crave. Cooking the butter until golden brown adds a toasted nuttiness, while the pop of cream provides luscious texture.

Steps:
- Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13-by-9-inch baking pan, preferably metal, with nonstick baking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper leaving a 2-inch overhang on the longer sides. Lightly coat with nonstick spray.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until the butter is a deep golden color, about 5 minutes; the butter will hiss and spit as the whey evaporates so be careful. As the foam subsides the butter will go from a canary yellow color to golden. When it does, take it off the heat. Add the chocolate and cream to the butter and let it sit, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted.
- Sift the flour and cocoa powder through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, vanilla, espresso powder and eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Start on low speed and gradually increase to high speed until the eggs are pale, very thick and fluffy, about 8 minutes (start your timer when you get to high speed). Do not be tempted to skimp on the mix time; this step is key to getting the signature shiny, crackled brownie top. Reduce the speed to low and slowly pour the warm chocolate into the eggs; beat until completely incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients and beat until just combined; do not overmix. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and fold until the batter is completely combined.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the brownies are glossy and just barely firm, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 205 degrees F, 25 to 35 minutes. Don't let the thermometer touch the bottom of the pan or you will get a much higher reading. (The cook time will be at the higher end of the range if using a glass or ceramic baking dish.)
- Let the brownies cool completely to allow the crumb to set before slicing, about 3 hours.
- Use an offset spatula to loosen the brownies from the sides of the pan. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Remove the parchment and cut into 24 squares.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on at least 2 sides. Grease the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
- For the brownie brittle: Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Melt the butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, then remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Stir in the sugar, eggs and vanilla, then add the flour mixture and stir to combine. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread into an even, thin layer. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips. Bake until the edges are crisp and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pan on a cooling rack.
- Meanwhile, make the strawberry sauce: Combine the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down, about 10 minutes. Stir together the vanilla and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth, then stir the slurry into the strawberry sauce. Cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat to cool slightly. You should have about 1 1/2 cups of strawberry sauce.
- For the caramel walnuts: Add the walnuts to a medium saute pan set over medium heat. Cook, tossing frequently, until toasted, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool. In another medium saute pan, combine the sugar with 1/4 cup water over medium heat; simmer, swirling the pan, until dark amber in color, 10 to 12 minutes. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream until smooth. Once the bubbles subside, stir in the butter and toasted walnuts. You should have about 2 cups of caramel walnuts.
- Use the foil overhang to help lift the brownie out of the pan. Break or cut the brownie brittle into roughly 2-inch pieces. Scoop the vanilla ice cream into a sundae dish, then top with some of the brownie brittle, strawberry sauce and warm caramel walnuts.

Yield 8 to 10 servings
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Whisk the butter and the chocolate over low heat in a heavy medium saucepan until the chocolate is almost melted. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Whisk in the sugar, then the eggs, one at a time. Stir in the flour and salt with a flexible rubber spatula. Stir in the nut pieces. Scrape the batter into the prepared Biscotti Crumb Crust. Press a ring of walnut halves, if using, into the batter around the top edge.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake until the outer 2 to 3 inches are slightly puffed and dry looking and the center is set, 35 minutes. A wooden skewer inserted into the center should come out with some moist batter still attached. Cool the pie completely on a rack.
- Cut the pie into wedges and serve with ice cream or whipped cream, if using.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Blend the biscotti, butter and sugar in a food processor until the crumbs are moist and stick together when pressed. Firmly press the crumb mixture over the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch glass pie dish, building up a high rim. Bake the crust until golden and feels firm to the touch, 15 minutes. Cool the crust completely.

Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Using a small ring mold just a little bit larger than the size of the figs, cut the pastry into 40 individual portions. Line up the puff pastry pieces on a baking sheet.
- Slice off the base end of the figs. Arrange a fig base in the center of each puff pastry round and reserve the remaining fig tops. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a fork to make an egg wash. Brush the pastry with the egg wash and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Bake until the puff pastry is crisp and golden brown, approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the tarts from the oven and immediately put a teaspoon of goat cheese into the center of each tart to soften.
- Remove the stems from the fig tops. Cut the figs and strawberries into small slices, put them into a medium saucepan, and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar. Cut the vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Using the back of a paring knife, scrape the seeds out of each half of the vanilla bean and add the seeds and the vanilla bean to the fig and strawberry mixture. Add the vinegar and clove. Put the pan over medium-low heat and cook until the fruit is warmed through. Remove the vanilla bean and discard.
- Arrange the tarts on serving platters and spoon a small amount of warm fruit compote over each tart. Garnish with micro greens and serve.
WALNUT & FIG GOAT CHEESE LOG
Here's a simple spread that calls for only a handful of ingredients. The tablespoon of honey is optional, but I think that touch of sweetness nicely complements the tang of the goat cheese. -Ana-Marie Correll, Hollister, California

CARAMEL WALNUT BROWNIES
The brownie recipe is "Brownies Cockaigne" from the Joy of Cooking. I had to adapt the directions a bit to make them more readable in this format. They are absolutely the BEST brownies I've ever had. They're more fudgey and dense than cakey. I've added all kinds of things to this brownie recipe and it's always turned out good. The addition of caramel was all mine, though, so I feel like I can take a bit of the credit!

Steps:
- This recipe has appeared in Joy since the original edition. Have all ingredients at room temperature. Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat oven to 350* F. Line a 13 x 9- inch baking pan (I always use Pyrex) with greased aluminum foil, allowing it to overhang the 2 narrow ends of the pan by 2 inches.
- In a large, heavy saucepan over very low heat, melt butter with chocolate, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and set butter and chocolate aside until completely cool.
- Once cool, stir in sugar and vanilla.
- Stir in eggs until well-combined.
- Add flour and walnuts and stir until just combined (be careful not to overmix!).
- Scrape the batter into the pan and spread to the edges.
- Once level, drizzle caramel ice cream topping over brownies in a swirly pattern or zig-zag. Be careful not to get too much syrup in one spot, or it'll make a delicious, gooey hole in the finished brownies. The syrup will make a slight indentation into the brownies as they bake.
- Bake until the center of the pan is almost firm when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean but still moist at the bottom, 23-28 minutes.
- Remove the pan to a cooling rack and let stand several hours until completely cool.
- Using the overhanging foil as handles, lift the brownies to a cutting board, peel off the foil, and slice into pieces.
- **Helpful hint: Using a plastic knife will keep the brownies from sticking to the knife!***.

STRAWBERRY, GOAT CHEESE AND ROASTED WALNUT SALAD WITH STRAWBERRY
I was inspired by the delicious salad with strawberry balsamic dressing that my favorite local pizza restaurant serves. Feel free to make changes to your liking. For example, you could use apples instead of strawberries, a different kind of cheese instead of goat cheese, or add blueberries. You can use 4 Tbsp of olive oil instead of the olive oil/flax oil combination, but the dressing solidifies if you store it in the refrigerator.

FIG AND HONEY JAM WITH WALNUTS
I recently made a meat and cheese board for my family and wanted to make a jam/preserve with it that we normally wouldn't have. Figs came to mind and, after searching around a little and getting a few ideas, I came up with this. It was such a huge hit that I decided to share it. I hope that everyone enjoys it as much as we did! It will last for up to 30 days if you do not can it.

- Preheat the oven to 200 °C or 390 °F. Cut off the stems and make an X cut in the top of each fig half way through.
- Stuff the figs with soft goat cheese using a teaspoon. Sprinkle some chopped walnuts and sage over your stuffed figs and drizzle them with honey. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. I used Le Creuset rectangular baking dish for this recipe and it was just the right size.
- Broil for about 5 minutes or until they look soft and release juice. Serve them warm or cold with a glass of wine. Enjoy!
