300 Best Potato Recipes A Complete Cook Guide Kathleen SloanMcIntosh 8601421369367 Books Reviews

• I checked this book from a library and discovered this needed to be added to my little library of cookbooks. The recipes look mouth-watering scrumptious, the photos gorgeous, and the history behind this humble spud fascinating! Certain members of my family do not particularly care for this vegetable, BUT they raved over the "smashed" version of the mashed potato dish. It's a most edifying book I've ever come across and I definitely would recommend it to anyone who wish to expand their cuisine!
• This was a gift for a friend. She likes it.
• Was a gift from my daughter to someone who loves potatoes. They loved it
• Bought because I really wanted to learn what to do with potatoes instead of the same old mashed potatoes or baked….and it is okay, but wish they hadn't included all the dessert recipes and had focused on the appetizers and meals.
• The ultimate potato lovers cookbook with everything you ever wanted to know about every kind of potato in existence!
• every recipe has potatoes as one of the main ingredients!! I haven't tried a recipe yet but am looking forward to when I get a chance!!!
• I love love love potatoes ... especially red potatoes!
  
  So how could I resist a cookbook of recipes of potatoes??!!
  
  The book begins with an introduction of the author and her family's love of potatoes. Then comes the history of potatoes ... did you know that as early as 750BC, the Incas were cultivating this new food source? There is also a lesson about buying and cooking potatoes and growing your own. There are 400 to 500 varieties of potatoes in active production around the world and there are 20 pages describing them (what kind, where available, uses, etc.)!
  
  And then comes the best part ... the recipes!
  
  * Top twenty classics
  * A bowl of soup
  * Salads
  * Appetizers
  * Snacks, small plates & light meals
  * Sensational spuds on the side
  * Main courses with meat, poultry, fish & seafood
  * Vegetarian mains to satisfy
  * Breads, biscuits, scones, griddle cakes & more
  * Desserts & confections
  
  With each recipe (which look easy to follow), there is a description, the amount of servings and tips. What's missing, though, is the nutritional content ... it would be nice to know the calories, fibre, etc.
• After feeling like my improv was in a rut, I picked this book up after it was recommended to me. All I can say is Sloan-McIntosh is a improv genius. Some of her points really resonated with me. You might start out with a boring potato, but there is limitless possibilities - fries, latkes, wedge fries - the list goes on and on. So with an audience get, you might start out with something bland and boring, but soon you and your audience will be dining on delicious, delicious scalloped potatoes.
