I was born in California, and have fond memories of homegrown tomatoes and freshly caught crawdads. My family moved a lot when I was growing up. I even lived on the East coast for a while. More about Leslie

I am in my late 40's and single and a bit selfish. Having no children and no spouse has allowed me to pretty much explore life in a much different way than most families would. More about Scott

What's in season?
Posted at 6:59 PM on January 9, 2009 by Paulette Thompson (1 Comments)
Winter is upon us. There is little to find at the store as a result of the bad weather. If you go to the farmers' market or the local food co-op, you'll find the cabbage family in full effect along with root vegetables galore.
I like turnips and rutabagas. Kale salads, cabbage salads (grate the cabbage, make a vinagrette with citrus juice and oil, then throw in a chopped chili pepper or red pepper flakes. Toss with toasted nuts) and other dishes made with greens are on my list for table time.
Potatoes are there, yes indeed. I am going to try parsnips; I saw a recipe for pureed parsnips in our Sunday paper. I love carrot salads. There is a cooked Moroccan carrot salad I love at this time of the year.
Hmm, time to go home to cook for the weekend!

cut parsnips into 2"x1/2" portions, toss in olive oil and heavily season with kosher salt. Roast at 400 degrees until tips are caramelized. It really brings out the sweetness.
