Would James have sued if you'd gone for "50 Shades of Spuds?" You might have attracted an entirely different audience.

*sigh* that was my working title. After some thought, yes, they would've sued. Google it, there's bloomin' loads of people being burned at the Grey stake.

Just bought and read half the book. Quite annoyed as it is 11.00 at night, and I am inspired to do the Bombay potatoes immediately, as they sound completely awesome, but I have no spuds left, so I now have to go to frigging tesco, get some and start cooking.

 

Great read, and great recipies. Looking forward to wibbly hot oil!

Confession time. I love cooking and have been a reader of big spud for years.....but I'm not the biggest fan of potatoes. Unless they're chips or a gratin, I rarely eat them and most roasters I can't eat as they're too "potatoey". It probably comes from my parents feeding us them 6 days a week (Monday was curry night).

 

Nonetheless I've bought the book and can't wait to try and fix the above problem.

Just seen this - thanks Si. I hope you've had a chance to try some stuff out.

 

Is there a good chip method in this book?

No and I address it in the intro. Deep frying is the only way to make them but I chose not to do any deep fried recipes in the book.

 

I have blogged the ultimate Heston method though:

I've already tried just about every method there is on the internet but I still haven't found the chip for me :(

Describe what you want and I'll write that recipe for you.
