I'm on a beet kick

by IsaChandra

You're welcome for not making a beat/beet pun. In anticipation of fall I've been cooking with beets a lot. I didn't truly learn to appreciate this root until a few years ago and then I had to wonder what my problem had been before.

My two latest creations are beet cakes, sort of like potato pancakes but with beets, carrots and sweet potatoes.  And tonight I invented Gazborscht. It's either an earthy take on gazpacho or a piquant take on borscht. Feast your eyes.

    I second Sara… would you share the recipes?

      These are old posts before I put up every recipe. They’re both in Veganomicon and I bet if you googled them you’d find ‘em!

    Well then the veganomican is organized in an obnoxious way because when you look up “beets” in the index you only get two results, neither of which are these recipes.
