Seasonal Cooking: This is where we began. Great cuisines aroround the world developed through human ingenuity when there was only that pile of root vegetables in the root cellar on a cold winter day. We are not restricting the use of onions and garlic, and a hearty winter stew can still call for a carrot. But fruits and vegetables that star in a recipe have their seasons. Salads are made with summer vegetables, not with parsnips and rutabagas. Please see that the star ingredient is accompanied by seasonal friends. Any season is fine. And if you can, buy local produce and be kind to the planet.
