Knopf 1995 978-0-307-82840-8 To be honest, this hasn't been my Garden of Eden year. The lettuce turned bitter and bolted.

(Actually for years Roman vegetable vendors called it broccolo romano and only romanesco recently.) Calling it simply romanesco is like calling French fries 'French.' This is serious because romanesco is needed to modify artichokes and zucchini, for which it indicates both local cultivation and a specific variety of vegetable – striated, firm zucchine romanesche and the large globe artichokes known as carciofi romaneschi. en Geoff Stebbings Growing Your Own Fruit and Veg For Dummies Chichester, W.

The curds are nutty and tasty, and romanesco is worth growing just for its good looks.
