What’s inside
From the jam tart Nigel made with his mother to the smoky, smooth aubergine mash he now perfects, this collection is the essence of Nigel Slater’s cooking. Chapters such as “a slice of tart,” “a chicken in the pot,” “everyday greens,” “the solace of soup” and “the ritual of tea” guide you through more than 200 recipes designed for real life. Each recipe is accompanied by memories and techniques — the tale of first eating a baguette in Paris, his love of jewel-bright Japanese pickled radishes, and the slice of buttercream-topped chocolate cake that became a personal landmark.
