A new book titled “Feeding the People: The Politics of the Potato” made its debut on Amazon as an e-book and in print in late June.
In the 308-page book, author Rebecca Earle explores the history of the potato, illustrating how potatoes played an important part in wars and the ways in which yesterday’s peasant agriculture has contributed to the food security of today. The book traces the potato from obscurity to ranking as one of consumers’ favorite vegetables. Unusual potato-centric recipes are also included in the book.
