A Cook’s Book: The Essential Nigel Slater with over 200 recipes

Product Information

Good-humoured, unpretentious and a bit eccentric, it's more like having a well-read friend than a subscription to a literary review. Each one a letter to a friend, a story of something I have made for dinner, the tale of how it came to be on my table. I like to hear the voice of the cook who tempted me to follow their recipe, to feel they are beside me in the kitchen as I cook, a guide and a friend. Chapters include: a slice of tart, a chicken in the pot, everyday greens, the solace of soup and the ritual of tea.

But I also enjoy those that are more than just cold instructions, those that are more than simply ‘do this, do that. Sharing food with those at your table - passing round a bowl of late autumn raspberries or a slice of sugar-encrusted blackberry and apple pie – is heart-warming enough, but a recipe posted in a newspaper, ephemerally on social media or in more lasting form in the pages of a book, has the chance to be shared even more widely.

A salad tossed together with broad beans, salted ricotta and the first white-tipped radishes of spring; a roast chicken, its crisp skin served with a fat jug of its roasting juices on an autumn day or a gloriously messy platter of grilled aubergines, hummus and torn flatbread shared with the best of friends.
