There is provided an apparatus (100, 200) and method (300) of cooking starch-containing foods having a fibre containing outer layer. The starch-containing foods are milled (306) to at least partially remove the fibre containing outer layer from the starch-containing food to form a mixture of debris from the partially removed fibre containing outer layer and milled starch-containing food. The mixture of debris from the partially removed fibre containing outer layer and milled starch-containing food is then cooked (308) in situ.
