the recipe sounds great this one I think I will try out… Btw I know Im late but Dandelion and Burdock soda is available at grocery stores in England (not sure about other parts of the UK) as if it were orange or grape here… not every store has it but most… I had both a nice brand (equivalent of Boylans here) and the no -frills store brand to try…

Believe it or not, we bought burdock twice at the farmers market. Then forgot about it,twice!,in the fridge. We’ve wasted burdock way too much . Your reminder will have to force us to give it another delicious try!

I haven’t eaten burdock root since I first started studying Oriental medicine back in the late 80s! Back then we used to stir fry it with carrots. I remember loving it. Thanks for the reminder — can’t wait to try this one out.

Ben – I’ve had dandelion burdock soda over at ChipShop here in Brooklyn. It is pretty good. Burdock dandeline wine sounds wonderful!

James – Yum indeed.

MissGinsu – We should all work together to bring burdock back! And thank you.

Cakespy – It is!

Helen, Aran – I can’t wait to hear what you think of it!

Yvo – Well, I’m not pregnant. ;P Oh, and no, this dish I purchased, but I forget where. Are you going to the 10 year reunion? I didn’t bother to go to the 5th.

I have never heard or seen burdock root. I will definitely have to look for it because when I read about something that tastes like a “nutty artichoke”, I must try it! Wonderful! I am so curious to read about what your new project will be. Exciting!

Hmm, is it what I think it is? ;) Is that another one of your dishes btw? It’s gorgeous, I love the bright color of it, though orange is traditionally (I guess?) more of an autumn color, to me it screams “spring, spring, where art thou, spring, spring, come on already!” Maybe because that’s what I was thinking this morning…

PS catching up a bit, congrats on starting the wedding planning, always exciting and daunting. Oh and speaking of planning large parties – word is no one is planning our 10th year reunion. I was laughing as I told someone “Uh, that’s the biggest party to plan for ever- bigger than your average person’s wedding even! Who wants to do that?!” *shrug*

I have heard of burdock root but never seen it or tasted it. I will look into where I might be able to buy some and try out your recipe. That is one of the most interesting ideas I have seen for a while. Thank you.

Ben’s comment gave me one of those “duh” moments. I’ve always considered burdock a very Asian ingredient, but it’s a classic in root beer, isn’t it?

So I just skimmed the Wikipedia article on Burdock and it turns out to be native to Europe but out of favor as a cooking ingredient there. Food history is fascinating…

And congrats on your certification! I’m looking forward to finding out what you’re up to…
