I love reading newly acquired cookbooks. I was especially excited when a friend recently made me aware of this fantastic cookbook - 50 best mashed potatoes (365 series ways) - a cookbook all about making mashed potatoes!
The book is full of terrific and simple mash recipe ideas, all of which have both clear and concise instructions. There is a nifty little introduction as well as some interesting potato facts (using potato cooking water in bread etc). There are also recipes for using leftover mashed potato and a chapter dedicated to mashed potato combinations with other vegetables (carrots, broccoli etc…). It now stands proud amongst my (growing) cookbook collection.
The 365 50 best mashed potato series ways cookbook is essential in any mash lovers kitchen!
If your interested, by the way, you can buy it here.
