Violet Lassi  Dandelion Fritters

Every week, chef/activist Daniel Klein and cameragirl Mirra Fine of The Perennial Plate are sharing the videos and recipes from their cross-country real food road trip with us. The latest dispatch from the road: Violet lassis and dandelion fritters -- and the Iowa dairy farm they came from.

In the video below, Daniel and Mirra pack up for their 6 month road trip, hit their first stop: Radiance Dairy in Fairfield, Iowa (where retired milking cows roam free), learn hard truths about morel season, and make a wild violet lassi -- in the strangest of places.

Making the lassi in the car is hilarious.
