Food to Nourish & Sustain

Winter ...
Time of hibernation, to plant the seeds of next seasons dreams!
A time of rich, hearty, long cooked meals,
With a sprinkle of nourishing raw courses to keep you healthy! 

Simple Treasure  

BEETROOT, from the Goosefoot (Chenopodiaceae) family
... known also as mangel-wurzel in some areas of Europe...   
"The Beet is the most intense of vegetables. The radish, admittedly is more feverish, but the fire of radish is a cold fire, the fire of discontent not of passion. Tomatoes are lusty enough, yet there runs through tomatoes an undercurrent of frivolity. Beets are deadly serious." 
Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins
