a winter gratin

Amid the wintry desolation I was happily surprised yesterday to find this array of vegetables, L to R: cabbage, chioggia & golden beetroot, parsnip, kholrabi and celeriac.

And thanks to my great big Global cleaver, together with the cavalier approach to peeling that it enables, was able quite quickly to transform the muddy roots into a tasty gratin.

    Haha, thank you – though it’s more greed than anything else 🙂

  3. Love this colourful and eccentric bunch of underground creatures. They must have made a memorable gratin.
    What’s this great big Global cleaver? I have a French peeler with a swivelling blade that slices very thinly. Any similarity?

    Thank you Ashen. And the cleaver is a big knife made by a brand called Global. Horribly expensive but excellent for the job. https://globalknives.uk/vegetable-chopper-g5
