My mission is to introduce more people to the joy and pleasure of cooking. It doesn't have to be time-energy-money consuming. With a little kitchen makeover and practice, you can make healthy-tasty-easy dishes w/o recipes. I also like to introduce "good things" from my country, Japan.

Warming Foods for Cold Winter --- Gobo
Burdock root or gobo, has been used for a medicinal purposes in Asia for centuries.
In Japan, people enjoy the earthy yet nutty flavor as comfort food for everyday dishes.
Gobo can grow up to 4 to 6 feet under ground, and it is so strong that if a rock is in the way, the root can penetrate it and continues to grow!
So eating gobo is considered to give you an extra strength, especially when you are sick.
Also, it gives you a sense of groundedness.
You can find them at health food store or Asian groceries.
Soup, stew or even stir fry and simmer with stock, and enjoy!
