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

Product Information

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. p>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.

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. For younger bookworms – and nostalgic older ones too – there’s the Slightly Foxed Cubs series, in which we’ve reissued a number of classic nature and historical novels.

The Hogarth Press where I’m working, is in the heart of the literary world, with authors coming in all the time.There is something - and this is the point really - that goes hand-in-hand with making something to eat, that transcends putting the finished dish on the table.

These are the favourite recipes Nigel Slater cooks at home every day; the heart and soul of his cooking.
