Happy New Year!
The first vegetables in 2021 for our Good Friend Good Food Group are carrots.
I like carrots in cakes, bread and soups, sweet and savoury, candied, pickled or fermented.
The newsletter from Valentinas Kochbuch brought the recipe for
Carrot Risotto
Easy to make, if you use the grater from your KitchenAid. This version is vegetarian, but a few slices of boiled ham are also delicious.
Don’t miss the posts from Donna, Ellen, Kayte, Margaret, Nancy and Peggy.
In a fortnight we are using greens. Let’s see what the weekly market or the foodassembly offers.
