   I was given a box of beetroots at the weekend, i love a bit of beetroot 
but ive always used it as more of an accompaniment. A goats cheese 
beetroot salad hits the spot but i need more than a salad for an evening
 meal. Im going to pickle some at the weekend but in the meantime any 
suggestions for recipes where the beets are the main ingredient? I need 
to reduce my glut and possibly gut.

	Hmm, that sounds marvelous! Only probs we don't have a blender ive probably got one of those mini hand-held things we used to make baby puree lurking somewhere at the back of a cupboard.

	Blending is for making soup smoothies - a new invention for a very old recipe. Use good stock and don't blend for a better soup IMO.

	You're a craftsman. You've worked with all sorts of mixtures, dyes and whatnot. I'm astounded that a simple beet has you - erm, beat . . .

	Should my red wee-wee be cause for concern?

	I may be a bit late to this beetroot discussion, but...a surprisingly nice (at least to me) salad is lettuce, betroot, walnuts and Persian feta. Have been eating it quite a lot lately.

	These recipes are OK but a bit standard fayre. You should look for something a little different, off the beaten route. Alternatively I would agree with pickle, pickle and thrice pickle, the only way to make beetroot remotely palatable.
