Running Round-Up: Fennel
"The fennel is beyond every other vegetable, delicious. It greatly resembles the largest size celery, perfectly white, and there is no vegetable that equals it in flavor ... indeed I prefer it to every other vegetable, or to any fruit." - Thomas Jefferson, Garden Books (quote source, Vegetarian Celebrations ) Many thanks to NYC photographer Tara Harnad for permission to use her fennel photograph! In February 2006, A Veggie Venture and other food bloggers cooked our fill of fennel!
