CASHEW CREAM
MAKES 500 ML/2 CUPS
CASHEW CREAM
This is a lovely accompaniment for a celebratory roast dinner. I love beetroots/beets. So did Tom Robbins, it seems. He wrote a series of weird and wonderful books in the ’80s and ’90s (remember Even Cowgirls Get the Blues and Uma Thurman with her giant thumbs for hitchhiking?). One of my favorite of Robbins’ books had an entire chapter dedicated to the wonders of beetroots/beets: ‘The beet is the most intense of vegetables. The radish, admitedly, is more feverish, but the fi re of the radish is a cold fire, the fire of discontent not of passion. Tomatoes are lusty enough, yet there runs through tomatoes an undercurrent of frivolity. Beets are deadly serious.’ Jitterbug Perfume (1984). According to Tom, it could be the secret to immortality. I’m not sure about that, but I have noticed its resurgence on dining menus.
