6. Banana Coconut Strudel 

Strudel, an eastern European pastry, is typically filled with spiced apples, poppy seeds, or walnuts—flavors endemic to the region. For Ben Mims’ strudel, coconut stands in for the nuttiness of seeds and nuts, and is balanced by caramelized bananas and dates for a very untraditional strudel.

  1. I tried your coconut cake recipe in the latest magazine. The frosting had too much butter, but the cake was very light.
