Review # 1 was written on 2014-05-18 00:00:00 Ruth Gilligan Potatoes were cultivated 8000 years ago in South America but did not reach the rest of world until 400 years ago. Today they are a major crop in both China and India. The variety of recipes in Hill's little cookbook is highly international, reflective of how widely the potato has been adapted to many local cuisines. Unlike some Eurocentric cookbooks, hers includes several interesting East Indian recipes using potatoes in a leading role. The recipe for pommes de terre dauphinoise works well but, like others in the book, could be a bit more detailed in its instructions. One remains unconvinced by offered potato deserts, e.g. potato gingerbread and potato rum truffles. There are several other potato cookbooks which are generally available and worthy of consideration for inclusion in a home cook's library.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-10-26 00:00:00 Shellina Rush This is one of my most treasured Christmas books to read over the holiday season, particularly on Christmas Eve. I believe most people already know the classic poem “Twas the Night Before Christmas” by Clement C. Moore, and I just reviewed another vintage edition that we read every year, but this version is also grand. This picture book contains beautiful illustrations that are lifelike and enchanting. It's one to keep. 5*****
