The humble potato features in the cuisines of every continent as an inexpensive staple, but the recipes in Potatoes are anything but ordinary. For starters, food writer Annie Nichols brings us soups, salads and snacks such as Mini Potato Roti with Coconut and Mint Chutney from India, while Meat and Poultry dishes include Tortitas de Papa with Chorizo from Mexico. Potatoes also make fabulous One-Dish Meals like French Potato Gratin and great comfort food like Irish Champ.

Amazon.com Review

Sumptuously photographed and presented, Potatoes delights the eyes and the taste buds. Fifty recipes, literally from all over the world, use the good old spud to liven up even the simplest of meals.

New twists are given to classic recipes, and additional suggestions provide plenty of food for thought. Clear, concise instructions detail the preparation and cooking of a range of one-pot meals, accompaniments, and even desserts! To help even the most hapless beginner, 10 recipes are described in step-by-step photographs to ensure that everyone can make food look like the beautiful photographs of Peter Myers. From delightfully crispy roast potatoes to fusion delights like Thai-Style Fish Fingers (with frothy lime and lemongrass hollandaise) or the unusual golden potato scones with Parmesan and pancetta, Potatoes is a book to please vegetarians and carnivores alike. --Rebecca Loades, Amazon.co.uk

This review is from: Potatoes (Hardcover)

Simply outstanding in every respect - Wonderful and unique receipes for potatoes, simple to follow instructions, listed ingredients separate from receipes for ease of preparation, and great photographs. This book doesn't rely on the old standards for potatoes and offers many interesting and tasteful receipes for both non-dairy and dairy diets. I've purchased three cookbooks to date, 2 for gifts and one for myself. These people should be proud of producing such a nice cookbook - thanks.

2.0 out of 5 stars The tiniest version of the book, April 23, 2010

By 

Deborah (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Potatoes (Hardcover)

I have had the original version, which is much much larger, for years. My rabbits had chewed it up mercilessly though so I wanted to replace it. This book is about one quarter the size of the original. Cute. But not what I thought I was ordering. Who knew miniature versions of books are now available. ??
