Advice for the type of wine to drink (and make!), what vegetables to grow and why, how to keep fruit fresh and the best way to make a sauce are all inside this delightful book. This will be a book I return to to make simple delicious meals!
This book inspired me to grow radishes this spring. I cannot wait to put in rows of various kinds, from the Easter Egg variety to French Breakfast and Round Black Spanish. Don't they sound delicious?
Here's my first recipe, inspired by the book.

Sounds really good! I've braised radishes with butter and honey, now I'm wondering about serving them over a plop of ricotta. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I've never thought of radishes and ricotta together, but I love fresh radishes with salted bread and butter, so I imagine this provides the same kind of creamy and salty contrast to the spicy crunch of the radish. I must try this soon!
ReplyDeleteI love radishes, especially on buttered bread lots of salt. This is a very unique take and sounds good.

ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting combination!! I'm sure the peppery radishes work really well with the smooth ricotta. Thanks for linking up to Dishing It & Digging It!!
ReplyDeleteI am growing radishes right now in our garden, so how perfect is this recipe for me:) We love radishes in our home, and they always, always go into our nightly salad, and now I have a new way to serve them!

I never would have thought to pair these items together! Thanks for adding it to the Get It Together link party!!
ReplyDeleteTerri I never thought about this pairing but it sounds delicious. Thank you for linking up this wonderful post on Thoughts of Home on Thursday. May you have a glorious Easter!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the book, Terri and glad to read it inspired to plant radishes. I wish you a plentiful harvest. I like also radish greens: they add a peppery note to a mix of leafy green vegetables. Thank you for your contribution to this edition of Cook the Books.
ReplyDeleteI need to go out and put some more radishes in the ground. The last ones didn't make it. But, what a great combination with the ricotta.
ReplyDeleteYour dish looks lovely Terri! Yum!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so fresh and delicious. The peppery radishes combined with the creamy cheese sounds perfect. Glad that you enjoyed the book, I had a difficult time seeing past the authors personality.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! And I'm glad I wasn't the only one who really enjoyed this book!
ReplyDeleteWe grew radishes last year and were so pleased to find how easy and rewarding they are! No room this year, we've planted loads of garlic.
Thine radishes look beautiful. What an inspiring dish, Terri.
ReplyDeleteIt's taken me a while to become a radish fan but as I worked my way there I found roasting them and combining them with cheese were big helps. ;-) I like them with feta but now you make me want to try them with ricotta, I love how simple and elegant this is--what a great way to start a dinner.
ReplyDeleteI think radishes are under-rated and loved seeing this recipe. And I loved the book once I got to the 2nd half.
