sweet winter squash or pumpkin roasted with bitter greens topped with roasted pumpkin seeds or nuts is one way to temper bitter greens if bitterness is seen as a barrier.

I like to shred lacinato/tuscan kale, toss it with salt and olive oil, maybe a touch of sour, and place it under a hot piece of fish, or at the bottom of a bowl of pasta, and let it wilt in the residual heat. Just warmed Tuscan kale seems more tender to me than just cooked kale, that is cooked over direct heat.

Because of Hetty's comments about her celery salad, I made it for dinner last night - it was AMAZING! I want to start at the front of Tenderheart and make every recipe!

Another Aussie, and I’m in Melbourne and even though I’m a meat eater, I love vegetarian food. Melissa, you must live just up the road from our son..

In the country there are lots of wild greens to pick. Miner's lettuce, purslane, shot weed, dandelion greens, etc

Born a New Yorker but live in the Pacific NW on Whidbey Island. I wrote a children's vegetable cookbook and wonder if you ever bring kids into your beautiful world of veggies and healthy eating?

Mache is mild, buttery, v juicy. Sort of an anti-peppery cress.
