Peeling the layers of a remarkable success story
A survivor of wars, famines and political intrigue... and more recently the low carb diet frenzy, the potato is such a familiar staple, that we tend to forget its history.
Woman's Hour follows its journey from the mountain terraces of the Inca Empire and introduces some varieties you may not have heard - including one called "makes the daughter-in-law cry".
"Potato" by Lyndsay and Patrick Mikanowski, Grub Street, ISBN 1-904943-35-7
