You might check Asian markets rather than high-end stores. It is popular in Chinese cooking as well. Thanks for stopping by Bill. You might check Asian markets rather than high-end stores.

I'm writing just because here in frigid Boston, I was on a hunt for amaranth leaves. I had set our family an eat-more-vegtables projects of cooking every food in Alice Waters, Vegetables, in order. Got stumped by about half that were unavailable here... even people in high end grocery stores didn't know about amaranth. sounds good... and different. And Karin, failure is good... if you never fail, it just means you aren't trying. I have a friend who says you have to cook something three times before it's yours... first time, it's good, second time you mess it up somehow, third time you've got it. cheers, bill lattanzi Hi Darya – Happy to find your site through the 31DBB.

Sorry to hear that Karin. Good job on trying something new, although I was hoping to encourage people to eat different vegetables and fruits ;) The nice thing about produce is it is usually so cheap, the money doesn't matter much. Also, if your pantry is well stocked there are probably other options you can dig out. Another thing you can try is to always make extra side dishes when a substantial part of your meal might not workout. This way you have leftovers or enough other things on your plate to make up the difference. Hope this helps! D’oh! Sorry to hear that Karin.

I decided to take your advice and try something new, and I started with gnocci. Lets just say things didn't turn out so well. What do you do when you try something new and it turns out, well, not so good? Hi Darya. I decided to take your advice and try something new, and I started with gnocci.

I think I did something similar the first time I thought to cook beet greens. Everything you ever wanted to know is a Google search away. How did we ever live without the Interweb...?
