‘Tis the season for roots and with the sometimes busy & chaotic nature of the holiday season it is always nice to have a dish that is meant to be served at room temperature.  We first made this dish several years ago as part of a Tapas Farmhouse Lunch we served to a group from […]

As if to egg us on, Laura clicked on a NYT op ed by Jacques Leslie entitled Soil Power! The Dirty Way to a Clean Planet. Quoting Dr. Rattan Lal, it read “Putting carbon back in the […]
