Item Description...
Moving beyond the usual crops of potatoes and yams, this sourcebook offers up a feast of tropical and hardy tubers that are easy to grow, great to look at, and delicious to eat. In addition to being a fascinating culinary history, it provides detailed tips for buying, growing, harvesting, and cooking each of the featured vegetables. Tropical giants like elephant ears and yautia provide exotic accents in a summer border or container, then easily move indoors when the days get cooler. Hardy plants like North American Natives spring beauty and Jack-in-the-Pulpit can stay in the ground all year-round, providing an appealing floral display in spring and hearty nourishment in fall. The dozens of inspired recipes make this a must-have for adventurous gardeners and gourmet chefs alike. |

 | Brooklyn is where the Tuber grows??? Jan 18, 2008 |
Not really (LOL!) but this little book is PACKED with information of the tasty and helpful kind.
From Purple Potatoes (which I have enjoyed eating from the first day I found them stocked at my Food Co-Op) to household plants that also bear edible tubers -- to cooking instructions (some with warnings-- not all tubers are initially benign) and recipes, as well as a list of places where you can buy these tubers to plant and grow -- this is a fine book, great for anyone who has a green (purple, in this case?) thumb and loves gardening. | | | Write your own review about Buried Treasures: Tasty Tubers of the World (Brooklyn Botanic Garden All-Region Guide)
