Octover Culinary Adventure Results

Happy November everyone! Here are my results for the

October Culinary Adventure- Perplexing Produce.

The challenge was to choose something from the produce department that you hadn’t cooked before. I chose to bring home a handful of taro root which are knobby hairy tubers, hoping they would taste better than they looked.
