In this paean to the brightly colored root, April McGreger tells the multifaceted history of a fundamental southern food, praising its rich and diverse savory-to-sweet flavor profile, botanical varieties, and shockingly high nutritional value. Along with instructions for selection and storage, McGreger shares the fifty best sweet potato recipes in the world. Embracing but going well beyond the classics — from Sweet Potato Pone and Candied Sweet Potatoes to Sweet Potato Chiles Rellenos and Sweet Potato-Ginger Crèmes Caramels — McGreger's creations will delight and satisfy with their deliciousness and versatility.
McGreger relates a tale from a traveler in 1940s Mississippi who said he ate "sweet potatoes with wild turkeys and various other meats, had a potato pie for dessert and roasted potatoes offered to him as a side dish, drank sweet potato coffee and sweet potato home brew, had his horse fed on sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines, and when he retired he slept on a mattress stuffed with sweet potato vines and dreamed he was a sweet potato someone was digging up." The sweet potato is no less important to McGreger, the daughter and sister of Mississippi sweet potato farmers.

      Can't tell a sweet potato from a yam? No worries. Chef McGreger, a daughter and sister of Mississippi sweet potato farmers, elucidates in this addition to the Savor the South series; plus, she features historical and preparation information designed to woo. Her 50 dishes are distributed into four meal-related segments concerned with breakfast, sides and salads, main dishes, and desserts, promising many surprisingly tasty results. The day's beginning, for instance, is heralded with sweet potato-ginger scones and sweet potato donut muffins as well as the expected grits and hash. Not-to-miss sides include a sweet potato pone (pudding), with the note that native Louisianans call this carb candy from the field. McGreger artfully mixes into the best of different cuisines (e.g., a tarte Tatin, a New York cheesecake) the ingredient she and nutritionists call a superfood. Make ours the sweet potato yum-yum, please.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
