    I like anything that is cooked with beets and their greens, so I would try all of the beet recipes.

  • MelMM  on  March 23, 2017

    So many from this book… overripe bananas and coffee grounds? I'm all ears. All the beet recipes, radish recipes.

  • IslandgirlOK  on  March 23, 2017

    Pumpkin flour ravioli with shaved chestnuts & roasted pumpkin seeds

  • Siegal  on  March 23, 2017

    Fennel pesto sounds yum

  • Nancith  on  March 23, 2017

    the Cauliflower core, leaves & Brie would be fantastic; I have always hated throwing all of that cauliflower in the compost.

  • sgump  on  March 23, 2017

    I'd try the carrot top pesto–I've never done anything productive with carrot tops and would love to try.

  • jr0717  on  March 23, 2017

    The cauliflower core cacao e pepe – even though the whole index looks tempting! This is how I cook anyhow, and the index is a trove of inspiration in itself!

  • maestra  on  March 23, 2017

    Several ideas on page 6 of the index made me want to start prepping and cooking right now. I would start with Coffee-grounds-and-salt-baked sunchokes (oh, I wish I could have thought of that!) and also put up a batch of chamomile whiskey for a an old-fashioned down the road. I've been wanting a reason to stop and pick some of this spring's fragrant chamomile flowers, which I would use instead of tea.

    Spruce needle marshmallows. Though spruce needles aren't the sort of thing I waste regularly.

    It's the first recipe listed, but I love beet greens: Beet Top & Stem Salsa – it sounds interesting with the blueberries!

  • monique.potel  on  March 24, 2017

    i am really intrigued by the concept of using peels and adding a layer of flavor so i would try Pumpkin skin powder

  • nexttotheblues  on  March 24, 2017

    Roasted ugly garlic!

  • skipeterson  on  March 24, 2017

    Cabbage cores & leaves in broken-rice risotto. Love risotto, especially roasted cauliflower so this recipe might point to a way to use cauliflower cores and leaves.

  • lgroom  on  March 24, 2017

    I think beet tops are better than spinach or swiss chard. I love a platter of them. So any of the beet top recipes sound great to me.

  • gjelizabeth  on  March 24, 2017

    I'm not sure if I'd cook it first, but the first one I want to read is Carrot "Raisins".
