Hi
Just got back from the lottie with a few roots of Alexandras, took the leaves off the top washed and peeled the root grated it not very nice as it is bitter, but you could add to a salad,sliced some root and put in boiling salted water for about 25 mins mashed with butter salt and pepper quite a nice flavor a little like celery I would eat it again. The leaves I took off the main stem and steamed them for about 15 mins choped them up fine added butter, salt and pepper,the taste is like asparagus but a little bitter I will be having this again at the week-end
