Some great vegetarian recipes using beets and their leaves.

I saw these at the local organic market on Wednesday. They called out in their little 'beetrootie' voices - "please buy us!". What is a girl to do? I have a girlfriend coming for dinner on Saturday night so lets hope she likes beetroot. I think that beetroot and smoked fish are a match made in heaven. A light salad of some bitter salad leaves and a little smoked trout - just pulled apart into nice fork size chunks, jumbled together with the roasted beetroot.

Learning how to cook gnocchi, a favorite Italian food.

On this occasion the gnocchi were accompanied by a rich & delicious beef ragout, on the side a kraut Salat (white cabbage salad seasoned with fennel seeds). Totally delicious. There is no comparison between this light and tasty meal and the stones of stomach-ache gnocchi from the supermarket. I can't wait to try it again and am really thankful to 'Frau C" for sharing her secret with me.
