Brooklyn is where the Tuber grows???

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.
