If you live in So-Cal you’re fully aware that Santa Ana season has arrived in full-wind! At the first sign of wind-cold-dryness-attack last week, I began downing bowl after bowl of my Chinese medicinal inspired stamina soup. Although I usually have a beef stock on hand, this time I was without, so I turned to a 12 ounce container of organic beef broth. Along with my vegetables, herbs and spices, it did the trick and I’m feeling great now!
Garden Eats has received a handful of requests expressing curiosities about the nutritive qualities of beets.

Magnus is joining us today from his UK kitchen to whip up his fave winter beet curry!

Meredith remarks that this is an, “amazingly soothing smoothie”- after taste testing today, we agree! Because carrots take time to juice, Meredith suggests adding extra milk to make it even smoother. After having it with the carrot, we think it’s worth the extra couple minutes required to juice them up!
