Potatoes

Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 2006

A fun book to read and re-read time and time again.

Kathleen DesMaisons

Simon & Schuster, 1999

Life saver
I wish I'd stumbled across this book years ago! I knew I had a problem with sugar that was unlike other people, but no one really believes in sugar addiction or sugar sensitivity, so I received no help, or even empathy, elsewhere. Some weight loss gurus suggest there ...

Colcannon, Pierogies, Vichysoisse, and Samosas oh my
