Soups Starters and Salads

What could be more satisfying than a potato soup? Nutritious, warming and comforting, it can cost next to nothing to prepare (the White Bean and Potato Soup, for example) or combine the earthy with the extravagant - like my Chilled Potato and Watercress Soup with Caviar Chantilly. Potato salads, too, vary from the humble to the luxurious. They are staples of cuisines all over the world, whether you choose a spicy Aloo Chat from India, a Provençal-inspired Grilled Potato and Fennel Niçoise or a Moroccan Sweet Potato and Coriander Salad. Indeed, for potato salads almost anything goes - the one firm rule is to use waxy rather than floury potatoes so they keep their shape.
