Polpettone: Italian Stuffed Meatloaf

I daydream a lot about cooking during the week, especially when I’m on the train.

Wintertime Tomato Sauce

Let’s face it — fresh tomatoes you buy in the grocery store during the wintertime are awful. They’re usually shipped in from factory farms in far off lands, and more often than not have a mushy…

Long time no see! The recent Modern Beet silence has been due to the fact that I made an international move and have been adjusting to life in Germany. What a change it has been!
