New season beetroots have been gracing our veg boxes. Here’s the second edition of our ‘Staff Favourites’ recipe series and it comes from the boundlessly creative and energetic Jess, long-time friend of Regather and team member.  Alongside her packing room and delivery work, Jess always has lots of cool projects on the go and she co-runs the clothing exchange Common Thread .  Jess says: “The story behind this recipe was 5+ years ago when I was running a craft club at Regather on Thursday evenings. Veg box scheme was quite small then so I could oversee box collection at the same time. A lovely customer called Hannah (who is still a customer) came in with her then wee baby in a sling. She was over the moon about beetroots in her box, as her little one loves her beetroot and apple soup, and gave me this recipe which I’ve enjoyed ever since.”
