I bought this book having read the other online reviews. I have to say, it was a grave mistake. I found it cloying and patronising in the extreme, and was profoundly irritated by the faux friendly tone. I gave up about three quarters of the way through and sent it to a charity shop, together with 'Family Happiness' purchased the same time, which I forced myself to finish.

Every vegetable is available in a number of different varieties. But which varieties to choose? In the case of most veg, choosing is fairly simple and is fun; it usually takes a couple of evenings going through the seed catalogues when preparing next season's seed order. But potatoes are special. Knowing - really knowing - about the different varieties available, along with their strengths and weaknesses, is necessary, fascinating, fun, rewarding and strangely addictive. And of course this reseach really pays off come harvest time. The best way to learn about potatoes - the varieties available, their characteristics, the difference between 1st earlies, 2nd earlies, maincrop, the growing techniques, etc. - is to read this invaluable book. ...

I was advised to read this by a chef, best piece of advice I have had for ages.
If there was a book like this for each area of interest, you wouldn't need many books!

It took me a while to get through this encyclopedic epic, but it was well worth the read. Like a fine wine, it wasn't heavy going, but a revelation of 'fact stranger than fiction' mini histories. Hysterically funny in parts, it was as hard to put down as a good cocktail, and just as intriguing and enjoyable to digest. I now consider myself - a bit like the author- educated in the art which controls so much of most people's everyday life.

We take an off season break (ie when it's raining but inexpensive!) in Catalonia each year with friends. I bought this book after one such and it now comes with us on each trip.

Jenny Chandler has filled the book with some excellent, often very straight forward, recipes ranging geographically from Galicia on the Northwestern tip of Spain, right across to Barcelona. She does a good job of explaining regional differences in ingredients and technique and enlivens the book with plenty of relevant anecdote.

In addition, the illustrating photos are of very high quality and Chandler provides a clear and concise guide to the wines of the region that makes a very welcome change from just buying Rioja.
