From left to right, that's julienned turnip, red storage radish, and carrot. The turnips are surprisingly crunchy, light, and sweet, when they're raw. Tossed in with lettuce and vinaigrette, it was quite lovely.

About Me
- Tall Kate
- In J.D. Salinger's Seymour: An Introduction, Buddy re-reads a letter from his brother Seymour. He writes: "You've been a reader long before you were ever a writer. You simply fix that fact in your mind, then sit very still and ask yourself, as a reader, what piece of writing in all the world Buddy Glass would most want to read if he had his heart's choice. The next step is terrible, but so simple I can hardly believe it as I write it. You just sit down shamelessly and write the thing yourself." That's my approach to cooking, in a nutshell: I cook what I'd most like to eat. And I'm blessed with a spouse who's happy to eat whatever I make, and kids who do make an effort, most of the time . . .
