That's right, The Ultimate Potato Book moves the versatile potato to the center of every meal. Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough offer up main course classics such as Shepherd's Pie, Cod Cakes, and Chili Fries, along with some surprising new ideas -- Lasagna (potatoes replace the noodles), Enchiladas, and Twice-Baked Potatoes with bacon, asparagus, and Cheddar.
Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough are the award-winning authors of nineteen cookbooks. They are contributing editors to Eating Well and columnists for weightwatchers.com, and they contribute regularly to Cooking Light, Fine Cooking, the Washington Post, and other publications. When they're not teaching cooking on Holland America cruise ships, they live in rural Litchfield County, Connecticut, with a fairly sane collie named Dreydl.

potatoes for dinner!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ultimate Potato Book: Hundreds of Ways to Turn America's Favorite Side Dish into a Meal (Paperback)
I bought this book because I owned others in this series (ultimate shrimp, ultimate ice cream)--and I'm not disappointed. All the recipes are for main courses with potatoes, so this is a book for real potato lovers. Great soups, really yummy stews, and some cool new things I've never seen before--potato casseroles that are way great. I love all the international dishes, Japanese, Chinese, Irish, French, German, African. It's so cool to make potatoes from around the world.

spud-tastic,
This review is from: Ultimate Potato Book: Hundreds of Ways to Turn America's Favorite Side Dish into a Meal (Paperback)
Here's a great set of recipes for every spud-lover in your life. Every recipe is a main course--some fudge a little, like "steak frites," but the authors claim it's not steak frites without the frites. Fair enough. But beyond those, there are a terrific set of international dishes, from Congolese to Japanese, from Chinese to Chilean. Who knew the spud was such an international favorite? And there are plenty of home-spun, American recipes, too. From latkes to hash, here's a book that will make the potato the centerpiece of any plate.

No pictures!,
By Shadow (Charleston, SC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ultimate Potato Book: Hundreds of Ways to Turn America's Favorite Side Dish into a Meal (Paperback)
Listen, this may be a completely nitpicky thing but this book has no pictures of the recipes. I HATE when cookbooks have no pictures and after speaking with some folks online I found I am not alone. The recipes "sound" good and we made two of them and they were okay. But there is more to the eating experience besides tasing, the visual is important. I also learn a lot from recipe pictures insofar as how to arrange the dish and to help to "see" if I have done things correctly, which is also part of the learning experience of cooking.
So, I am not saying this is a bad book (I would have to complete more recipes in it) but without pictures it just is not my thing. So I am hoping this may help someone else who feels the way I do.
