This week, a last minute Thanksgiving treat
Ever tried steamed desserts like dips and compotes? They are incredibly tasty, moist and soft. Steamed treats can surprise you ! Let them ! It’s all the more striking with fruit, which preserves an incredible amount of natural taste and texture after cooking in a steam cooker.
Try this steamed cranberry apple compote for the holidays! Or even for Christmas, why not? Sometimes, I use it as bottom layer in my apple pie. It is very light on sugar and full of taste and nutrition. You will love it with turkey, or on the side with apple pie, especially if you can’t eat or are too “stuffed” – pun intended – to have ice cream too.

But which one is the healthiest? Is eating vegetables always good regardless of how they are prepared? YES it's always better to eat some than none. However, you will learn here that the way you prepare it does matter a lot. And as you suspect, at least in the case of broccoli, steamed is a winner. Learn why.
