I have been toying witht the idea if Eric Ts book bit after reading a review I changed my mind. I do know many of the veggies mentioned won;t grow here.

The person who told me about the runner beans said they have a huge solid root, like a tuber, which allows them to store a lot of energy, which is why they start growing early in the season.
I borrowed T's book from the library and came to the same conclusion! But vegetables from the Andes such as acocha sound interesting and would grow here.
