Nicole Hadley (380 KP) rated Smashed, Mashed, Boiled, and Baked--and Fried, Too!: A Celebration of Potatoes in 75 Irresistible Recipes in Books

Jun 18, 2018

Smashed, Mashed, Boiled, Baked - and Fried, Too! by Ragavan Iyer is a beautiful. It has wonderful pictures, beautiful fonts. It has section at the end that lists the recipes out by categories including entrees vs sides, apps etc as well as by allergens.

This cookbook outlines potato appetizers, soup, main entrees, side dishes, and desserts from a full spectrum of cuisines and cultures, plus each recipe is beset with 'Tater Tips' or details pertinent to the history, procurement, variety, storage, and perishability of the potato being used. Iyer is cheeky, yet endearing and incredibly informative, like a friend that you adore grocery shopping with after a hearty cafe lunch.

Overall, I want to make everything in this cookbook, and I also think that by making Iyer's, "ultimate mashed potatoes" I will become everyone's favourite person over the holiday season (they look SO yummy!). Unfortunately, I worry that with so many people on strict diets, or low-carb diets, this cookbook may not sell as as much as it should. However, if you have a potato lover or carb queen in your life, get this cookbook for them - they will love you for it!

I received this book from Workman Publishing Company via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a film that I would say is okay. I've seen it advertised so many times and as I'm not a Christmas fan it wouldn't have been at the top of my "to watch" list anyway. However, for some reason the front cover just irritates me. Anyway, my boyfriend put it on the tele so I thought I might as well give it a go. It had some good comedic points in it but I wouldn't really say it's anything special. Willy has been playing Santa in shopping malls for years and on Christmas Eve, he helps to rob the mall by breaking into the safe. He is drunk and probably the worst Santa ever. Not anyone you would want near your children that's for sure. One kid in particular seems to touch a nerve with him and eventually he discovers that this kid is not being looked after once he decides to stay with him. The kid is being bullied and is the most kind-hearted child. The film takes you on a journey of bad Santa turning into okay santa. I would say that it is a watch for it's comedic value but other than that, I don't think I'd watch it again!
