Kumquats
Would love to get some of your recipes for the best use of these little guys. I've usually had them as a garnish or candied.

King Trumpet Mushrooms
Also know as king oyster mushrooms, these are some of my favorite fungi. From cap to stem the texture is slightly firm and a little chewy, in a good way. They have a decidedly meaty flavor and are absolutely wonderful sauteed or broiled in a little olive oil and garlic. You can even broil them to crispness and each them like chips. Oh so good.

Beets
Beets can be found in the market year round, but that doesnt mean you should put off cooking with them! A Summer time salad of beets, goat cheese, fennel and citrus is my favorite way to enjoy this sweet vegitable.

Sweet Potatoes
This the season for sweet potatoes and yams. I prefer the more savory sweet potato, roasted till a little brown and caramelized on the bottom, sprinkled with salt and EVOO. I leave the marshmallow covered dished to the sweet tooth type.

Brussel Sprouts
Still on the stock or loose and ready to cook, brussels are a great source of Vitamins A and C, folic acid and fiber. They taste wonderful sauteed with shallots and tossed with sun-dried tomatoes.

Sunchokes
I have to admit this is one of my favorite roots. Like celery root, sunchokes are a great substitute for potatoes: roasted, pureed, or in a gratin. Thier flavor is a cross between artichoke and potato.
