Cooking potatoes is arguably as much an art as any other aspect of
cookery, and it is often said that is one can cook a potatoes to
perfection, then they can cook anything! This classic guide contains
step-by-step instruction and expert tips on how to cook potatoes in a
range of styles suitable for many different types of dishes, written by
the master of the cook book, Charles Herman Senn. Charles Herman Senn
(1862 - 1934) was a German writer of cook books. He wrote profusely on
the subject, producing cook books for all manner of people and
situations, but was particularly well-known for his vegetarian and
confectionery recipes. Other notable works by this author include:
"Breakfast and Supper Dishes" (1898), "A book of Salads: The Art of
Salad Dressing" (1922), and "British Red Cross Society Cookery Manual"
(1915). Contents include: "The Cultivation and Cooking of the Potato",
"Potato Cookery", "Potato Soup A La Parmentier", "Potato Soup, Geneva
Style", "Potato Soup with Green Peas", "Potato Soup A La Victoria",
"Potato Soup With Niokis", "Potato Soup with Raviolis", etc. First

wisdom and classic techniques back to life, as we have so much to learn
from 'the old ways' of cooking. Not only can these books provide a
fascinating window into past societies, cultures and every-day life, but
they also let us actively delve into our own history - with a taste of
what, how and when, people ate, drank, and socialised.
