A pretty typical Nigel Slater book: Bold, non-fussy food, packed with flavor. This one is sorted according to the main ingredient (or the result): potato, chicken, bread, ice-cream... Some of it is healthy, all of it is good, some of it is great.
Nigel Slater is my food god! Other food writers may come and go but my love for the slate man will never die. From what i understand hes only well known in my home country of blighty, but hes well worth searching out. what makes this man so great is that hes a home cook who knows exactly the sort of food you want to eat. Unfussy, easy to do food wich packs a punch with the flavours. He also encourages you to use your own common sense whilst cooking, think of hes recipies as a guide rather than as a strict set of instructions. In this book nigel has taken some of hes favourite ingredients and given us lots of ideas to play around with. The chapters are potatoes chicken sausages garlic bread cheese ice cream and.. chocolate! Need i say more? Get cooking! (The only warning i shall give is that this man is terible if your trying to lose weight.)
