Potato: The Definitive Guide to Potatoes and Potato Cooking

Imagine stumbling upon a culinary time capsule, gifted by a kind neighbour, filled with recipes from over two decades ago. Intrigued, I decided to dive in and see what delicious discoveries awaited me. At first glance, I wasn't sure if this book would match my vibrant, flavour-packed cooking style. The photos are nostalgic, and some recipes have a heavy hand with the vinegar. But that's where a little creative tweaking comes in!

My favourite section? Hands down, the breads and scones! I'm already dreaming about whipping up the ‘Three Herb Potato Scones' soon, and tonight's menu features the adventurous ‘Potato Skewers with Mustard Dip'.

This cookbook might need a modern twist – think more veggies, less oil, and a few personal touches – but it's a delightful starting point for any home chef. Is it worth paying full price? Maybe not. But snagging a second-hand copy? Absolutely! Happy cooking!
