Editor’s Note
I am so excited to share my mini-magazine with you! I have included some of my
top recipes for you to enjoy. This issue features crsipy golden beet tempura, Asian
turnip lo-mein (a unique twist to your original noodle bowls), and creamy kale
vichyssoise. In addition, we’ll tease your tastebuds with a sweet beet cocktail... and
don’t forget your best friend! We have included a creative K-9 recipe that will be
sure to please any pooch!
In Season...
“Check
out those
vibrant
colors!”
Kale
Our beautiful field guides will help you sort through all the varieties of seasonal
produce available at your local farmer’s market or grocer this Spring. These fresh
finds offer additional health benefits in the form of phytonutrients. Be sure to
check out how getting your daily dose of plant antioxidants can keep you healthy!
Next, we encourage you to travel around the world by using our World Flavor
Profiles, which will familiarize you with regional seasonings and ingredients used
in American, Asian, Mediterranean and Southwestern cuisines. We believe that
utilizing this technique will help you include those nutritious, seasonal vegetables
more frequently in your meals.You will reap the nutritional benefits and enjoy
eating them too!
