‘In case you were to only have one Slater cookbook on your life, That is it’ OFM, Books of the Year
‘He’s 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 achieve the Aga, through to what He’s cooking now, That is the ultimate Nigel Slater collection brimming with over 200 recipes.
He writes about how his cooking has changed from discovering one of the simplest ways to roast a chicken to the trick to smoky, smooth aubergine mash. He gives the tales in the back of 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 on a daily basis; the heart and soul of his cooking. Chapters include: a slice of tart, a chicken in the pot, on a regular basis greens, the solace of soup and the ritual of tea. That is the very important Nigel Slater.
