Bought a book and later realized that I don't have any of the ingredients. What a shame then. I gave an book of recipes from India to my brother-in-law, but I also included a bag of unusual ingredients.<br /><br />I'm glad that the postcard arrived. I sent a similar one to my hubby, which he really liked.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501259287565067209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340014329368678508.post-85816496484701154932011-06-13T13:28:35.456+02:002011-06-13T13:28:35.456+02:00One can never get enough sweet potatoes!

You mentioned some of the stuff I left out because my post was getting tooooo long, so we nicely complement each other. :) And I think our experiences with the book roughly amount to the same as well.<br /><br />Just wondering though... how did you LIKE the potatoes???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340014329368678508.post-70420289413965476692011-06-12T16:55:33.542+02:002011-06-12T16:55:33.542+02:00Genius!!!

I've planted sweet potatoes for the first time this year despite the fact that I don't like them *except* in sweet potato fries. Lovely with a spicy catsup. Since I don't like to fry things at home, I'd hoped to find a roasted/baked recipe...which you've thoughtfully provided.

If a cookbook requires too much substitution, then I'm not very interested in it.<br /><br />On the other hand, those sweet potato fries look great.Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.com
