In Praise of the Potato: Recipes from Around the World

Lindsey Bareham

4.9/5 (11438 ratings)

Description:Deliciously versatile, the potato can be exotic, elegant, plain or traditional. It marries perfectly with any number of herbs and spices and with very different results. It is comforting, cheap and ubiquitous: in Britain we now eat an average of 242 lb/110 kg each per year. Its nutritional qualities have at last been acknowledged. And, not least of all, it is extremely tasty - as this host of recipes from all over the world shows.Lindsey Bareham gives definitive versions of all the cooking methods - boil, steam, mash, roast, sauté, deep fry, bake and au gratin - and numerous unexpected variations on the themes. Then, turning to potato recipes, she offers a feast of appetisers, soups, salads, lunch, side and dinner dishes, ideas for using leftovers, stuffings, sauces, buns, cakes, breads and drinks. It is an exhaustive anthology ranging from time-honoured and nursery favourites to more esoteric, positively surprising foreign concoctions from such far-flung corners as the Lebanon and Tunisia, Thailand and Peru. Among the collection are recipes directly from famous restaurants, adaptations of ones by such masters as Elizabeth David, Jane Grigson and the Roux brothers, and dishes using the more unusual strains of potato that are becoming ever more readily available. In Praise of the Potato grew out of Lindsey Bareham's work as a restaurant critic, which brought home to her the astonishing adaptability of this staple vegetable. Full of information about the history, folklore, buying, storage and different varieties of potato, this delightfully lively book truly has something for everyone.Lindsey Bareham has written extensively about restaurants, food and food shops, cooking, wine and hotels for fifteen years, in the Observer, Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, Caterer and Hotelkeeper, Design and the London Daily News. She is the author of Mood Food (with Stan Hey), the Time Out London Shopping Guide, and A Guide to London's Ethnic Restaurants, as well as contributing to numerous other books on London restaurants. She was Time Out's food and restaurant editor for ten years and editor of their consumer section for fifteen years, and is now the restaurant critic for Taste magazine. She also writes a weekly consumer column for the Sunday Telegraph and is a regular contributor to BBC Good Food. She lives in London with her two sons.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
