Carrots

In 2 weeks, I went from excitement to anxiety. I'm a new gardener, and have always relied on starts from the nursery. We bought a few seed packets last year for direct sow in the garden (peas, ca...

What is the most time-efficient way to matchstick/julienne (are those two terms interchangeable?) carrots? I need to julienne/matchstick about 1.5 lbs of carrots each week to use in salads thr...

I just opened a can and used one jalapeño. But I don't want to waste the rest. I need some ideas for what to do with it. Help my tired brain, would you?

So, I had a corned beef in the freezer that we made up in the crock pot for dinner. Well, I made way too much cabbage, potatoes and carrots to go with and now we have no left over meat but a lot of...

Eating a delicious heirloom carrot right now and the outside is darker than a beet and the inside is a lovely orange. Made me wonder, when they always say to eat a variety of colours, if there are ...

I love carrots and usually buy local or organic ones now, but recently I was lured into buying some non-organic ones at my local supermarket due to a sale. As soon as I pulled them out of my shoppi...

So, upon years of thought, I've decided to ask the question: what does a Mirepoix actually add to a recipe? I get the onions. That's easy. The carrots? Sure, why not? Celery? No. No, I do ...

There is a restaurant in San Bruno, CA, called La Paloma Mexican Restaurant, that has the most delicious Al Pastor I've ever had. I've tried Al Pastor at other restaurants and they've all fallen s...

I'm not a vegavore--far from it! But I confess to a love for most things carrot. I make a Mexican carrot and cumin soup, adulterated with crema, that is superb. The Khantessa does a broil of scalli...

The macrobiotic folks make tempura--but anyone know any other good ways to use fresh carrot tops? The wonderfully fresh carrots from the local farmer's market come tops on, and I hate to see the...
