It's not difficult at all; just steam a taro root for about half an hour, peel it and mash it. Stir in some water until it reaches a nice creamy consistency. I added salt and a few other spices but it was still pretty bland. The taro leaves are edible (after they've been cooked - don't try them raw!) and quite good. They bring a warm, salty, sea-food-ish sort of taste to the party. The ti leaves are definitely not edible. They're more like the foil package for the stuff inside.
