Quick Tip
Beans made from scratch have better flavor, but the cooking can take hours. Canned beans are a solid alternative, if you rinse
and drain them well.

FRESH PICK
Turnips
Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it
is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
