Williams Sonoma Potato (Williams-sonoma Collection)

Description

Layered in a creamy gratin, shaped into rustic gnocchi with pesto, or puréed into a comforting soup, potatoes are a versatile ingredient in any cook's kitchen. As a light summer dish or a hearty winter supper, potatoes lend themselves to nearly any means of preparation and can be served at any time of year. Williams-Sonoma Collection Potato offers an array of more than 40 recipes for time-honored favorites as well as delicious new ideas. Whether you want to make perfectly crisp, golden French fries or try spicy roasted fingerling potatoes dipped in a tangy sauce, there are dishes in these pages to please everyone. A chapter of potato salads will help you find an innovative version of this classic using artichokes, feta cheese, or red bell pepper to take along on your next picnic. And, a chapter devoted entirely to breakfast will make your mornings brighter with offerings such as hash browns and sweet potato pancakes with orange-honey butter. Enticing photographs help you decide which dish to prepare, and photographic side notes highlight key ingredients and techniques, making Potato much more than a fine collection of recipes. An informative basics section and extensive glossary round out all you need to know to make the versatile potato a delicious part of any meal. Review: Tempting recipes, beautiful photos, easy to prepare - Wow, I own quite a few of the Williams Sonoma cookbooks, but this one is the best I've purchased. I read one of the non-glowing reviews about this book and am really perplexed that the person stated there was not a good selection of recipes. I'm shocked because I just received the book a few days ago, and sticky-tagged all the recipes I'll be making for my family in the next month or so. There are side-dish recipes, potatoes for breakfast recipes (delicious looking oven roasted hash browns that look yummy...), potato pancakes, Thanksgiving accompaniments, and all sorts of beautiful recipes, yet they seem easy to prepare. Photos are gorgeous too. Potatoes are a staple at my home and we don't eat a huge portion of them at dinner, but do like a little potato side dish at our meals. I usually cook them at least 3-4 times a week, so this book is really going to come in handy for my family. This book is great and since it's been out a while, you should be able to pick it up for the phenomenal price of 1 cent (which is what I paid), plus $3.99 for shipping. Book was in great condition (actually better than advertised condition). I don't hesitate to purchase books for a penny anymore because they're in good to great shape. Why pay more? Review: Si te gustan las patatas - Me gustan mucho los libros de Williams-Sonoma, este está dedicado por entero a las patatas, muchas recetas apetecibles y muy variadas con las patatas como ingrediente principal, ademas con muchas fotos. Está muy bien.
