	Before ordering from Oregon Exotics in Medford, Oregon you might
be wise to read some of the comments at a site like gardenwatchdog.com.
It is apparently a one person operation, and he has more orders than 
plants.  I ordered from Oregon Exotics once--good plants, when they
finally arrived, a couple substituted without approval.

	Another source is http://www.nicholsgardennursery.com/, in Albany Oregon.
They presumably get their Oca from Dr. Alan Kapuler of Corvallis, Oregon--
at least he is pictured in the catalog, with his hands spread over a row
of oca.  Nichols price is 10 tubers for $9.95, spring shipment only.
You could email to nichols@gardennursery.com, and ask about recipes for
oca--they do include recipes for various vegetables in the catalog, and
I seem to remember that Rose Marie Nichols McGee offered a book of recipes
last year.
	Ken
