 The Guilty (and Healthy) Pleasures of Yuca By Grace O
When talking to friends and colleagues about new, healthy foods to try, I sometimes have to assume a professorial role and do some explaining. This is the case with yuca (pronounced, yoo-kah ), also known as cassava and frequently confused with yucca (yuk-ah ).Yuca is a plant that is grown and eaten in Latin America, Africa, South Asia and the Caribbean. It has a starchy root that among other things, can be made into tapioca.Yucca , on the other hand, is an ornamental plant with spiky leaves and tall clusters of white flowers. It grows in the Southern and Western parts of the U.S., including Florida, New Mexico, and California. Yuccas don't have the edible root of the yuca. Read More

Turkey in Turmeric Sauce
By Grace O
Turmeric, an anti-inflammatory, is a main ingredient in Indian curries. With its bright yellow color, turmeric pairs beautifully with poultry and fish. Its mild flavor goes well with garlic. Coconut milk has been much maligned for its saturated fat, but new research has revealed that its medium-chain fatty acids increase HDL, or "good" cholesterol, not LDL, or "bad" cholesterol. The fat in coconut milk supports the flavor of turmeric very well. For this recipe, I use only the thick liquid at the top of the can of coconut milk. To get double the turmeric benefits, serve it over Grace's Turmeric Rice. Get The Recipe!
