Marlena Spieler: For the Love of Potatoes
In the April 9, 2008 issue of the San Francisco Chronicle, renowned foodie and accomplished author Marlena Spieler just couldn’t stop raving about her undying affection for potatoes.
“Writing a book about potatoes has been a voyage of discovery and progression,” Spieler said about her most recent cookbook, “Yummy Potatoes” (Chronicle Books, 2007). “Though I started the project thinking that anything a person does with potatoes is delicious, after I finished writing the book, I loved them even more.”

Hello fellow Potato-niks!
So pleased to discover your website and to find my very own column and love of the tasty little tubers included!
Am off on Thursday to Peru for the official UN Year of the Potato conference and international recipe competition. I shall be on the jury and am so excited. I noted that there are 2,300 different types of local potatoes, at least, and I aim to try each and every one!
Your sister-in-spuds,
Marlena Spieler
