Cristelle [my daughter] asked me to pick up a taro cookbook because she wanted it as a gift for a friend. To my surprise, there were no taro cookbooks, although almost all island cookbooks had a few taro recipes. So, I began to collect them and in the process found that breadfruit can be used instead of taro and that potato can be used for the island flavor if neither taro nor breadfruit are available. Hence, the title, Taro & Breadfruit (or Potato!). I hope these recipes bring as much joy to your table as collecting them has brought to me.
