From Sweet to Savory: The Delicious Underground World of Root Vegetables

In this demonstration class let’s do the unexpected and fall in love with root vegetables for so many reasons! They are nutrition powerhouses; they are inexpensive and store well—perfect for family budgeting and timesaving shopping; and they can be dressed up and spectacular wintertime entertaining.

From juicing carrots for a “nutritious” cocktail to using the tops of radishes to make an emerald-green pureed soup, this class explores the sweet and savory side of root vegetables. We’ll see parsnips turned into a savory puree and then grated for a sweet three-layer cake.
