Mashed: Beyond the Potato

by Holly Herrick

Overview

This fresh take on classic comfort foods includes not only delicious variants on mashed potato dishes, but also gratins, soups, dips, sauces, guacamoles, pâtés, casseroles, panna cottas, and sorbets made with a plethora of vegetables, fruits, beans, grains, nuts, eggs, and even meats. Hot or cold, savory or sweet, classic or innovative, rustic or elegant, Mashed shows that mashing doesn’t need to stop at just traditional mashed potatoes.

Editorial Reviews

I admit, I did not think of mashed foods much beyond potatoes and making baby food until I began to investigate Herrick’s lovely volume. Her recipes have made me want to become a “mad masher” in the kitchen. She starts with potatoes, and in that same chapter begins with basic mashed white potatoes. Then, things just keep getting better and better .The recipes offer more complex flavors, but are not necessarily more difficult to make. Herrick moves into different varieties of potato to a chapter on vegetable mashes that for the first time made apparent to me why cauliflower is the new darling of mashed and riced vegetable dishes."
