This is a generous and lovely book about the wonders of the potato. A goodly chunk of the text is devoted to different varieties of potatoes and potato preparation technique, so you can spend lots of time reading and looking at pictures. Don't forget the recipies, however. I've tried at least a dozen of them and havn't been dissapointed yet.

This book is *the* book to get if you're a potato fan. It has great recipes with gorgeous pictures, just looking through the book will make you want to cook and eat it right there. Many great classic recipes, although sometimes they are not the original, authentic ones, but that doesn't stop me from raving about this book. There are also very informative chapters at the beginning of the book about the history, different kinds (you would never guess how many there are) and preparation methods of potatoes. I love this book, you will, too!

I am a potato lover and found this book to be informative and useful in the variety and preparation of potato cookery. The pictures are gorgeous and helpful. Also, the recipes are simple, easy and delicious. I'm quite happy with this book!!!

This is a well-produced, profusely illustrated and very informative book not simply giving many great recipes, but with an introductory section on the history of the potato,its many different varieties and methods of cooking. Quite the best!

If your looking for information, recipes, suggestions on what type of carbohydrate to add to your Menu, this is the Book for you. The authors have included extensive research about the Potato's family history. Given the task of providing a complete guide about the subject, they have created the absolute "definitive" book. As for my own use of the book, I was given the task of producing one of the recipes, the "Herbed Potato Bake", pg.142. Rave reviews from the Guests. Get this book. Lots of ideas that we all have a tendency to forget about.
