Recipe Recommendations
  • Rotmos, anyone? Rotmos, or “root mash” is a simple & nutritious dish of Swedish origin, incorporating rutabaga, turnip, carrots, and potatoes. Wash and prepare one pound of potatoes; and two pounds total of rutabaga, turnip, & carrot. Peel the veggies and cut into even-sized pieces. Place the rutabaga, turnip, and carrot in a medium saucepan and lightly cover with well-salted water (you can substitute chicken or veggie stock here for a flavor boost!) Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes. Add your potatoes and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Strain & purée the mixture until smooth, and season with S&P and a dollop of butter. A good dish for the slow cooker if you’re pressed for time!

  • Kimchi fried rice is SUPER good and a great way to tone down kimchi if you're not always keen to eat it up. Simply fry it up with some leftover rice and top with any greens, shredded root veggies, and a fried egg. Yum!
