Rating: - More Than 150 Things To Do With A Potato...
I never knew you could do so much with potatoes! This book is really interesting. Firstly it dispels the myth that potatoes are ‘nothing but carbohydrates’ and it points out that civilisations lived healthily on a main crop of potatoes for centuries. It provides not only information on the nutritional benefit of potatoes however but the history of potatoes, different types available and what they are best used for.
The recipes are really original – from sweet potato bread to potato pizza. There is something for everyone here too – vegetarian meals, potatoes with meat, fish and potato salads.
It shows the reader how to make potato croquettes (a favourite with my husband), and even describes how to make the perfect roast potato or crispy potato skins. It’s not all simple recipes though (although the perfect roast potatoes beat any I’ve made previously) but there are much more unusual and complicated recipes also.
I agree with the title that this is the ‘definitive guide to potatoes and potato cooking’ and with more than 150 recipes you will be cooking potatoes for weeks!
