Pears bring natural sweetness and the best texture to both sweet and savory dishes. Whether crisp or buttery-soft, they shine in recipes like my Radicchio Salad with Pear and Blue Cheese, Italian Pear and Almond Cake, and Pears Belle Hélène. Their delicate flavor pairs beautifully with bold cheeses, toasted nuts, and warm spices, making them a versatile ingredient for everything from fresh salads to elegant desserts.
