Winter

Long cold nights and frigid snowy days send us burrowing into our homes with warm comforting foods. Winter means hearty root vegetables, deep dark greens, in long slow braises, stews and roasts.
It's February, and a warm one at that, here in Nashville. So far, no snowy days to cozy up in the kitchen with soup and molasses cookies. But alas, I've still been doing lots of cooking. Sparse monk food using root and cruciferous vegetables accented with the bright notes of citrus (also in season)marks my cooking this month. Enjoy.Oh yes, and red velvet cake for the kids on Valentines day.
