Radish Roses
Description
Perfect for the table and with drinks. For some reason, our homemakers seem to think there’s no need for this kind of kitchen fuss and that you can simply cut radish into matchsticks. Then those same homemakers wonder why their children, for example, won’t eat radish. Because you have to serve it the right way, my dears :) Try making radish roses—I’m sure no one will turn down radish served like this. The step-by-step description with photos is here to help you :) Serve with greens and sauce.
