February is American Heart

Month. Show your ticker
a little love with these
heart-healthy seasonal
foods. By Natalie Rizzo, MS, RD

y ou might already know that

the fats in olive oil and salmon
may do your heart good. But don’t
overlook nuts, citrus, and leafy greens;
they’re all powerhouse ingredients for
your cardiovascular health.
Nuts also contain heart-healthy fats.
A six-week randomized controlled trial
demonstrated that eating 1½ ounces of
almonds per day reduced LDL (bad)
cholesterol and abdominal fat, two
risk factors for heart disease. Another
randomized controlled trial in people
with high cholesterol showed that
eating 1½ ounces of pistachios per day
for 3 months reduced LDL cholesterol
levels and improved heart function. And
adding a small handful of unsalted nuts
to your daily routine can help you reap
the benefits.
Winter’s bright citrus fruits are also a
good choice. While oranges, tangerines,
grapefruits, and clementines are known
for their immunity-boosting vitamin C,
they also boast heaps of potassium, a

mineral known for its role in regulating
blood pressure. A meta-analysis in
the Journal of the American Heart
Association (AHA) concluded that
consuming 3,500 milligrams per day
of potassium may help lower blood
pressure. Drink 1 cup of pure orange
juice to supply 500 milligrams. Just
be sure to avoid juice sweetened with
added sugar, which can be detrimental
to heart health.
Another heart-healthy mineral—
magnesium—is found in dark leafy
greens such as kale, Swiss chard,
and collard greens. A study in the
Journal of the AHA observed more than
9,000 participants for eight-plus years
and found that low magnesium levels
were associated with an increased risk
of death from coronary heart disease
and sudden cardiac death.

NATALIE RIZZO, MS, RD is a New York-based dietitian,

Try drizzling kale with olive oil and
roasting it in your oven to make kale
chips. Shred Swiss chard and collard
greens to make a nutrient-packed slaw
for a natural magnesium boost. Or

with citrus segments and crunchy
toasted nuts—for one heckuva heart-

botanically speaking
Although they typically grow from 6 to 15 feet tall,
papaya plants are technically evergreen herbs. Unlike
trees, the plants’ trunks are hollow and don’t develop
a woody bark. And papaya fruits are technically
berries because each produces many seeds.

WHY I LOVE
COOKING
When I moved
to Italy,
I really began
to enjoy
cooking. Here,
it’s a way to
heal and care
for people.
I love that!

ALLRECIPES.COM 36 FEB/MARCH 2022


About me: I’m a proud Texan
who has lived in Italy since 1997.
I’m a mom to three beautiful girls,
stepmother to four wonderful kids,
and wife of Giuseppe Giovenzana,
a former fighter pilot in the Italian
Air Force and recently retired airline
captain. I’ve been lucky enough to
live throughout Italy—Milan, Rome,
Cervinia in the Italian Alps, and most
recently we have retired to Sardinia.
I love experiencing new cultures and
the foods that define them.
My day job: Casalinga (that’s Italian
for housewife), wife and mom, and
finder of all things lost.
Side gigs: Part-time aviation-English
instructor/examiner and aeronautical
technical writer. I quit working full
time in 2015 to take care of my family.
Some insights about Italian food:
• The simplicity of Italian food and
the genuineness of the ingredients
are the most underestimated.
• How Italian food is eaten: Italian
food takes time to prepare. It is
eaten at the table with family and/or
friends. Think “slow food.”
• Outside of Italy, I see pizza
and pastas. But pasta is just the
beginning! Italian meals are served
in two to four courses, depending
on how much you eat. They start
with a primo, or first course (a pasta,
gnocchi, or risotto); secondo (some
sort of protein); and contorno, or side
dish (a vegetable or salad). The foods
in Italy aren’t overly seasoned either.
• La pastasciutta (pasta with tomato
sauce) is pasta with a simple mix
of fresh or canned tomatoes, garlic,
basil, and a pinch of salt.
• Pizza should only have puréed
tomatoes without any seasoning at
all. With meats and fish, there is no
condiment other than raw oil, lemon,
and parsley. Italian steak is served by
itself; there is no sauce.
• Also, Italians weigh ingredients and
don’t go by volume. And they love
their bread. Each city has its specialty,
but it’s eaten at a certain time and
with certain foods. They never eat
pasta with bread in their hands or
near their plate.
Kitchen tool I can’t live without:
I would be grumpy—very grumpy—
without my handheld immersion
blender. I use it to make smoothies,
soups, sauces, hummus, and pretty
much anything that needs puréeing.
Rare talent no one will pay me for:
I seem to be really good at cleaning
up after people, which in my house is
a talent only I possess.
If I had a superpower, it would be:
To heal people.

Have your cake and cannoli, too—minus the
frying and any fiddling with fragile shells.
There’s plenty of cannoli spirit and flavor in
this orange-scented, ricotta-cream-filled cake.
5 eggs, yolks and whites separated
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp. white sugar
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup cake flour
4 Tbsp. Cointreau or Grand Marnier liqueur
1 Tbsp. water
1/2 cup plus 3 Tbsp. powdered sugar, plus
more for sprinkling
11/4 cups whole-milk ricotta cheese
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp. miniature semisweet
chocolate chips
3/4 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup chopped pistachio nuts
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 10x15-inch jelly-roll pan
and line with parchment paper. Beat together egg yolks,
1 tsp. vanilla, and ¼ cup white sugar in a large bowl with
an electric mixer at high speed until very thick and lemon
colored, 4 to 5 minutes.
2 . Wash and dry mixer beaters. In another large bowl, beat
together egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt at high speed until
soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Gradually sprinkle in ¼ cup white
sugar; continue beating until stiff peaks form, about 1 minute.
3. Gently fold egg white mixture into egg yolk mixture, a
third at a time, with a rubber spatula. Sift in flour, one-third at
a time, folding into egg mixture after each addition. Spread
batter evenly in prepared pan.
4 . Bake until top is evenly browned and springs back when
lightly touched, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, stir together
2 Tbsp. Cointreau, the water, and remaining 1 Tbsp. sugar in
a small bowl until dissolved. Sprinkle a clean cloth towel with
powdered sugar.
5. When cake is done, immediately invert onto prepared towel.
Carefully peel off parchment paper and discard. Brush cake
with Cointreau mixture. Roll cake with towel, jelly-roll-style,
starting from a long side. Cool cake, seam side down, on wire
rack until completely cool, about 1 hour.
6. Meanwhile, blend ricotta cheese, cream cheese, ½ cup
powdered sugar, ½ tsp. vanilla, and the cinnamon in a food
processor until smooth. Transfer filling to a bowl and stir
in ¼ cup chocolate chips. Cover and chill.
7. Gently unroll cooled cake and remove towel. Evenly spread
ricotta filling over cake with an offset metal spatula almost to
edges. Roll cake starting from the same long side. Place cake,
seam side down, on platter.
8. Beat whipping cream and remaining 3 Tbsp. powdered
sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed
until soft peaks form. Fold in remaining 2 Tbsp. Cointreau and
remaining ½ tsp. vanilla with a rubber spatula. Frost cake
with whipped cream mixture; chill at least 2 hours. Sprinkle
cake with chopped pistachios and remaining 1 Tbsp.

Choux au Craquelin (Crackled Cream Puffs)
HANDS-ON 30 MIN TOTAL 2 HR, 30 MIN MAKES 8 SUBMITTED BY CHEF JOHN
28 REVIEWS
Draping cream puffs with a sugary, cookie-like dough before baking gives the
delicate buns a crisp, crackled top that’s worthy of The Great British Baking Show.
See the step-by-step video and bake along at armagazine.com/choux-au-craquelin.
For Crackle Coating
6 Tbsp. flour
¼ cup packed brown sugar
3 Tbsp. softened unsalted butter
Pinch salt
For Choux Pastry
½ cup cold water
¼ cup unsalted butter
Pinch salt
½ cup flour
2 eggs, at room temperature
4 oz. bittersweet or dark chocolate
(60% to 70% cacao), chopped
Vanilla Pastry Cream (at right)
Make Crackle Coating
1. Stir together flour, brown sugar, butter,
and salt in a small bowl until a soft dough
forms. Put mixture between 2 sheets of wax
paper; press or roll into a 6¼-inch square
about ¼ inch thick. Freeze until firm.
Make Choux Pastry
2 . Bring water, butter, and salt to a simmer
in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in
flour using a wooden spoon until a
smooth dough forms and pulls away from
bottom of saucepan. Transfer to a bowl;
let cool 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat
oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with
parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
3. Stir eggs into dough, 1 at a time,
mixing well after each. Transfer dough to
a pastry bag or a zip-top plastic bag with
a corner snipped off. Pipe eight 2-inch-
wide mounds onto prepared baking sheet.
Smooth out tops with a dampened finger.
4 . Cut frozen crackle coating into eight
2-inch circles. Place 1 circle on each choux
mound. Pat lightly to adhere.
5. Reduce oven to 350°F; bake choux
until browned and fully puffed, 35 to
40 minutes. Let cool completely on baking
sheet on a wire rack. (Unfilled choux can be
stored, frozen, in an airtight container up to
1 month. Thaw before filling.)
6. Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl
1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 15 seconds. Dip
bottom of each choux bun into chocolate.
Let stand or chill until chocolate is set.
7. Put Vanilla Pastry Cream in a pastry bag
fitted with a ¼-inch tip. Cut a small hole in
the side of each bun. Fill with pastry cream.
Serve immediately or chill in an airtight
container up to 8 hours.
