"i saw the show & immediately cooked it up that night. I served as a side fresh collard greens with cubed turnips as well. I had never seen Claire as I'm not a foodie chanel watcher but am soo glad I watched her episode. I did use some fresh mushrooms. I think most cooks would know to add a few other items if they wanted The whole purpose in her recipes is showing people they don't have to have alot of items and time to prepare a delicious home cooked meal. So the idea that she is too limited misses the point. Tonight I'm making the BORSCHT! ;-}
