62 Carrot Recipes From 41 Cuisines.

One third of the aromatic base that underpins French, Italian and much of European home cooking, and a workhorse everywhere else — pickled in Mexican taquerías, simmered in Japanese curry and nimono, grated raw into salads across Eastern Europe. Long cooking brings out real sweetness, which balances smoked meat and sour cabbage in winter stews. Do not peel away more than you must; flavor sits near the skin.
