'If you were to only have one Slater cookbook in your life, this is it' OFM, Books of the Year 'He is king among food writers' Nigella Lawson 'Slater's best book' Diana Henry, Sunday Telegraph A Cook's Book is the story of Nigel Slater's life in the kitchen. From the first jam tart Nigel made with his mum standing on a chair trying to reach the Aga, through to what he is cooking now, this is the ultimate Nigel Slater collection brimming with over 200 recipes. He writes about how his cooking has changed from discovering the best way to roast a chicken to the trick to smoky, smooth aubergine mash. He gives the tales behind the recipes and recalls the first time he ate a baguette in Paris, his love of jewel-bright Japanese pickled radishes and his initial slice of buttercream-topped chocolate cake. These are the favourite recipes Nigel Slater cooks at home every day; the heart and soul of his cooking. Chapters include: a slice of tart, a chicken in the pot, everyday greens, the solace of soup and the ritual of tea. This is the essential Nigel Slater.

Nigel Slater - A Cook's Book

Actually, I bought this book and the ones that came with it as Christmas presents (getting in early). I have done significant Christmas shopping at The Book Grocer for a number of years now (and will still do more this year). But I don't think I should read my family's Christmas presents before I give them!

So I Cooked

I love this book. Cooked one recipe from virtually the beginning and so enjoyed the result. Easy, ingredients from my pantry, can’t wait to cook more.
