Making the Ginger-Coconut Chayotes (page 86) was a learning experience. I didn't know what a Chayote looked like but I found a picture in order to tract one down in the grocery store. Miriam says they are often called "vegetable pear" and Google says they are available in late summer to early fall. This recipe mixes Chayotes with fresh ginger and coconut milk and it tastes fantastic. Since I was completely unfamiliar with the chayotes I had to monitor the cooking time carefully. It turned out to be about 20 minutes on med-low heat. I will definitely try chayotes again.
