"A thoughtful food writer who deserves to be better known." Review
for The Missing Ingredient, The Sunday Times Culture magazine.
Discover the best potato recipes the world has to offer in 65
delicious recipes from soups to samosas; croquettes to chowders;
curries to quesadillas; and pies to pierogi. Potatoes are an
inexpensive, versatile and much-loved food. A staple in cuisines
worldwide, the number of dishes that feature them is infinite. They
are lower in calories than bread or rice yet satisfying to eat, are
gluten-free in an increasingly wheat-intolerant society and an
excellent source of fibre, vitamins and minerals. This
celebration of the humble potato traces its journey from
cultivation 2,000 years ago in Peru to its introduction by the
Spanish to the rest of Europe and its eventual spread to the
colonies, including India. From the cult of the chip to the recipes
of Mrs Beeton, from the modern-day Jersey farmer to the Irish
potato famine, the potato has its place in both our history and our
hearts. Offering 65 recipes featuring potatoes – from the
classics to modern twists – this book presents a dish to suit
every taste and occasion. Â
