When it comes to sweet potatoes, most people think of eating it just three different ways:
roasted, fried, or in a pie. But Mary-Frances Heck, a recipe developer who has spent years in the test kitchens of many prestigious magazines, is hoping to change all of that with her new cookbook. Called, well, Sweet Potatoes, the book is an ode to the underrated versatility of the orange root vegetable.
“Sweet potatoes are the perfect food,” Heck says. “You can cook them pretty much any way. You can do everything with a sweet potato and I wanted to explore that.” And explore it she did. The book is filled with recipes that transform the humble, nutrient-dense sweet potato into everything from a creamy cacio e pepe to fluffy biscuits to hearty, meat-free tacos. https://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/sweet-potato-best-ice-cream-sundae/food-and-drink
