Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I just tried searches in both Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble for " kudzu cooking " and found a wealth of resources for using kudzu. Maybe we can create a revolution with kudzu. After all, we are vegetarians. We have already helped change the diet in the United States.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 You know how I love to experiment. I almost bought some last month at Whole Foods. I'm sure I can make something tasty out of it. After all I made some good recipes out of the radish tops. Donna --- " Kathleen M.
