About Root Vegetables

Below the tidy surface of the kitchen garden lies the real treasure, roots swelling quietly in cool, dark soil. Pull back a little earth and a carrot or parsnip emerges blushing with color, still warm from the sun above. These humble vegetables have fed families for centuries, roasted by the fire, mashed for supper, or tucked raw into a lunch pail on a crisp autumn day.
