Sugarbeet Salad with Dill and Feta Dressing

Like sugarcanes, sugarbeets are primarily used to produce sugar and molasses. But they are also great to serve as a winter vegetable, just like their relative red beetroot. You usually won't find sugarbeets in the grocery store, some farmer markets might carry them though. Use parsnip, parsley root or kohlrabi for the recipe if you can't find them.
Sugarbeets can be consumed either roasted/stirfried/pureed or raw when young and are grated or sliced into salads. They have white, fleshy root with a unique taste. Great to serve with game and you can also make latkes with sugarbeets in place of potatoes.

Compared to typical wheat bread, rye bread is considered more nutritious, lower in gluten, more in soluble fiber and have less of an impact on blood sugar. This recipe uses coarsely ground rye meal and light rye flour to create a deliciously crispy, healthy and rustic bread with chewy texture and depth of flavour.

Gluten Free Pumpkin Persian Love Cake

There is a story behind the name that once upon a time there was a Persian woman madly in love with a prince. To make him fall in love with her, she baked him this cake, filled with magical love powers. The prince returns her love and they live happily ever after. Another version of the story is that the prince swooned over the cake but rejected the girl and she ended up eating it all herself.
There are a few variations of the Persian love cake. Typically it's baked with semolina flour, almond meal or rice flour, or even with regular white flour. But all versions will flavour the cake with cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon, rosewater and saffron.
I decided to bake a gluten free version with pumpkin, adapted from DELICIOUS. It is a moist and rich cake made with almond meal, pumpkin and Greek yoghurt, scented with cinnamon, nutmeg, and rosewater, then finished with a tart lemon glaze and a final sprinkle of rose petals and finely chopped pistachio, that make it extra decadent and flavourful.
