Inspired!
I love it when local meals come together — and become this delicious, and this beautiful.

Still waiting for my kohlrabi boat to come in!!!

I’ve yet to stumble upon kohlrabi but I have this old cookbook that is all about kale, kohlrabi and cabbage that I want to try some recipes out of. It’s called Of Cabbages and Kings Cookbook by Charlotte Turgeon

Believe it or not (and you may not, after having heard about our bocce party!) Matt’s the one who introduced me to kohlrabi. He loves it straight-from-the-garden raw. This sounds like a delicious recipe!

Corinna, the sunflower sprouts came from the farmer’s market but I’ve made them before too. That is, grown them. I used black oil seeds from the feed and seed (as in bird seed), but often times you can find a farmer that sells “human grade” seeds as well. They’re fast, ready in about five days, but I’ve found it best to sprout them on soil. I just line a large cookie tray with soil, sprinkle it with seeds and wait.

I’ve had kohlrabi cooked and raw and love it both ways. But I’ve never had the sunflower sprouts. Where do you get them and what are they like? I love this recipe and really want to try it just as its written!

Kat — what a lovely dinner, and a lovely description too. Food at its best — almost the way you’d find it in the garden!

I had kohlrabi with dinner tonight! I boiled the greens until they were tender and slowly cooked slices of the bulb in butter, tossing in the tender greens at the end. With a bit of freshly ground pepper on top, it was simple yet decadent. I do love raw kohlrabi though, I say it has the flavor of a broccoli stem with the texture of a radish.

What a pretty salad! I love the colors. I’ve only eaten kohlrabi raw. I’ll have to try it cooked sometime.

I love kohlrabi, but it falls into the category of vegetables I only like raw (endive, cabbage, carrots, etc.). And it’s just gorgeous.

I think kohlrabi is the most beautiful vegetable — I saw some growing at a living history farm and fell in love. I’ve not had much success yet trying to grow it, but I am still working on it. I love your website, Becky; very inspiring.
