Unfamiliar foods farmer's market challenge!

Hi there. I'm starting a small farm in Kingston, NY that is going to focus on specialty varieties of vegetables and herbs, including little know varieties and varieties with an ethnic heritage. I would like to give out recipes with certain produce so the buyers aren't too afraid to try the unfamiliar. So here's my request for recipes. If you'd like credit, let me know and I'll put your name with it. Anything that tastes good and sounds enticing is fine by me.
Here's a list of some of the more unfamiliar items:
chervil
garlic chives
flowering mustard (gai lon)
salad turnips
escarole
epazote
shungiku (chrysanthemum greens)
lovage
mitsuba (Japanese parsley)
cippolini onions
cardoon
green shiso (perilla)
french breakfast radishes
roma (flat) snap beans
yardlong beans
kousa squash (Middle Eastern summer squash)
treviso radicchio
phoona keera cucumbers (russeted Indian variety)
okra (not too unfamiliar, but definitely needs help)
parsley root
corno di toro peppers
red meat and green meat Chinese winter radishes
pardon peppers
kamo (Japanese eggplants)
Thai green eggplants (these are mottled green and slightly longer, more egg shaped than the now-familiar little round guys)
