Potato by Andrew F Smith
Potato tells the captivating tale of a seemingly lowly vegetable that has changed - and continues to change - the world. Featuring lip-smacking images, the book also contains recipes for potatoes fried, puffed, scalloped, mashed and wedged, as well as potato cakes, tattie scones and Chinese potato chips.
'These are food memoirs, salacious and exotic, colorful, powdered, sweet, greasy and globe-trotting.. sharp and speedy little reads, spotted with off-kilter illustrations' - Chicago Tribune 'These little morsels of books are part of a delightful and new imprint known as the Edible series ... The history of each foodstuff is set out compactly and with erudition ... in each case, it's when the history moves closer to current day that revelation and delight meet.' - Diplomat magazine
