We love the nuts in our lives—at a baseball game, on an airplane, at the circus, in a bar, or at a cocktail party. But nuts go far beyond snack food. They are a traditional pastry and dessert ingredient, complementing other flavors of citrus, fruit, and chocolate or taking center stage. And we are just beginning to discover how versatile they are in side dishes, entrées, soups, stews, and sandwiches.
