I have a love-hate relationship with pickled vegetables. I absolutely love pickles when they’ve been made by fermenting in brine, but I can’t bring myself to like pickles that have been preserved with vinegar. For example, when I was a kid in school, we’d often have slices of pickled beet as part of our school [...]

The other day I was just casually thinking about beets, and it suddenly dawned on me that fennel seed would be a perfect spice to roast them with. The moment I got the idea I knew it was a good one, and so I wrote this recipe down in a sudden burst of culinary inspiration. [...]
I am being pretty liberal calling this dish tandoori – I suppose the word refers to the method of cooking food in the tandoor oven as much as it does to the spices. And the spices used in tandoori dishes seem to vary a lot: it’s sort of like North Indian barbecue and everyone has [...]

Yet another beetroot recipe! This risotto is most delicious and simple to make, although the cooking time was a little long for an improvised lunch dish. Beets are in season so they’re especially nice and sweet this time of year, and there’s double parsley power in there as well: in the form of a root [...]

We needed a quick and effortless supper on Sunday, since I had a mean flu and Heikki was hurrying to meet some friends. I decided to resort to my trusted veggie soup recipe, but instead of carrots I used lovely beets and the cauliflower that had been sitting in our fridge for a day or [...]

My mom gave us some fresh beets from the summer cottage, and this is one of the dishes we used them in. I love quinoa, and my favorite way to cook it is like this: in a pilaf with just a few spices and a vegetable or two. The beluga lentils are delicious, and I [...]
Another famous Slavic dish, this delicious beetroot soup can be adjusted indefinitely. In Poland, borsch is liquid, like vegetable stock made with beet, served without the vegetable pieces. Our soup is pretty thick, loaded with shredded organic root vegetables and cabbage.
We enjoyed our borsch with a big dollop of plain soy yogurt, sprinkled with plenty [...]
This is a Russian dish that’s usually made with meat or sausages. We had Wheaty’s spicy seitan Frankenberger sausages, but I’ve made this with fried tofu before. Heikki said that the Wheaty sausages were a bit too dominant in this dish, and I kind of agree – tofu allows for other flavors to stand [...]
It might seem that all we have eaten lately is beets and arugula. Partly true, and here is another variation of the perfect combination of potatoes and beets. Here’s something we had on Saturday, and will have in the future since we still have a bunch of beets in the fridge.
There’s some fresh arugula and [...]

This is a perfect autumn soup. The intense color and the simple, earthy flavor of this soup made us feel all happy inside.
What we put in the soup:
about 10 smallish potatoes
about 8 smallish beets
1 onion
4 cloves garlic
1-2 teaspoons horseradish paste (or freshly grated horseradish, maybe a little bit less)
1 vegetable stock cube
1 dl (or about [...]
