Back in the Nature’s Corner kitchen there’s always something going on. Here I caught Gerri, our resident food magician, Lauren, our illustrious produce manager and a very hungry Jude sampling Gerri’s latest creation:Roasted Sunchokes and Sweet Potatoes.

These tasty tubers have a distinctive artichoke flavor but actually come from that most familiar of plants, the sunflower.
