Natalie,
I just went to the store and horseradish was on my list. I thought I would try it from scratch if I could find a root and they never have horseradish roots at my store, so I expected disappointment. And there right there in front of me next to the devil (beets) was the elusive root. I am more excited about the roast beast now!

Karen,
Thanks! I prefer Gourmet and Saveur and haven’t read Food and Wine in several years. I think Bon Appetit is trying to be like the Everyday Food mag from Martha Stewart. It is a great one too, but I let my subscription lapse. Two months ago when BA came out with their “green issue” I just about flipped. They consider it fine to consider the environment one month a year and the staff starts recycling. International is my thing, so I will have to pick up a copy of Food and Wine!
I was chopping up the asparagus for a risotto a couple of weeks ago and it struck me that it was photo worthy and now it is asparagus week!

That photo is gorgeous! I agree about Bon Appetit magazine - instead, I’ve been getting Food & Wine, and I really like it. Tons of international recipes.

Looks great…especially the horseradish roast beef! I can’t wait for the farmer’s market - I think ours opens pretty soon in Raleigh.
