Strictly speaking, not all! vegetables that grow underground are' roots—white potatoes are tubers; on-j ions are bulbs. But for cooking pur-' poses well call them all roots.

For older roots, have enough boiling wa- 1 ter to cover. j To keep the flavor of onions and turnips mild, leave the kettle uncov-j ered. To speed the cooking of others, i put on the lid. ! Boil root vegetables whole in their skin unless too strong or too tough.
