Meet the Cook: Generally, I start this dinner early in the morning or right before church. It originated with my Pennsylvania Dutch mother and grandmother., When I first served it to my husband, he enjoyed the hearty root vegetables so much that he asked me to make the dish more frequently, even during the summertime. We've been married 38 years and have two sons and two granddaughters. -Arlene Oliver, Bothell, Washington

I have made this several times (each time with ham) and it never ceases to be great. I use the Horseradish Sauce (I found it in the Complete Guide to Cooking by Taste of Home) every time. Thank you so much.

Wow! I was making it and thinking it was so simple and quick. I was beginning to worry that it would not be good. Never had rutabaga before and missed the part about my pork being smoked. So I added some liquid smoke. Very good. Ate it with the horseradish and that gave it a wonderful flavor.
