Roots, a Compendium

First, I had no idea how little I knew about root vegetables until Roots: The Definitive Compendium With More Than 225 Recipes by Diane Morgan arrived on my desk. Second, would someone please whip up the Lotus Upside-Down Cake for me? Pretty please? For all those locavores who bemoan the prevalence of root vegetables in their diets come the winter months, Roots will provide plenty of inspiration, excitement, and delicious recipes.
