Eating Local Year-Round Means White, Red, Blue in Scandinavia
January - It's all about roots.
Root veggies can be intimidating and a bit bland. But in Scandinavia quite a few organic chefs have taken up the government's efforts with climate-friendly foods as a crusade, and have tried to bring back roasted root veggies and root soups on daily menus. Here are the three big Scandinavian "white" root stars - rutabaga on the right, parsnip below, and celery root (makes a good salad if painstakingly cut into julienned strips) at upper left.
