Carbs : From Weekday Dinners to Blow-out Brunches, Rediscover the Joy of the Humble Carbohydrate

You know that plate of fresh, fat fettuccine you ate on holiday in Rome? And the box of cheesy chips that saved you at 3am in a muddy field? And all the slices of buttery toast you've eaten on dark, damp mornings? They have something in common. Carbs.

We''ve tried to hide it, shoving carbs aside for cauliflower rice and zucchini noodles, but we''re not fooling anyone. Carbs are what we want – what we really, really want. We love them because they make every meal better. And anyway, global medical guidelines now say carbohydrates should make up 50% of our daily food intake, and that skipping them could lead to long-term health issues. What have we been thinking? It''s definitely time to embrace carbs in all their guises. Macaroni and cheese is (practically) a medical requirement.

Whether you''ve always been a die-hard carb lover, or you''d like to learn to love them again, this book has the recipes you need. There are rice bowls, pizzas, pastas, tacos, muffins, loaves, and oh-so-many ways with the glorious potato, king of the carbs (including all the fry hacks you can shake your salt at). It''s time to put carbs back on the table.
