The heady days of the fall harvest are but a memory now, the last of the local apples picked and consumed. It's a time for turning inward - and inside - as we warm ourselves by fireplaces and with savory soups and steaming ciders. These are the post-holiday party days, when we seek out dear old friends for quiet company and conversation. In the kitchen, that can mean a return of the trusted, yet decidedly unglamorous root vegetables. Like those faithful friends, they provide satisfying comfort from the season's chill.
Stay warm, spring is around the corner.
