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

Product Information

Mrs Woolf, wife of the manager, is a very celebrated author and, in her own way, more important than Galsworthy. Every time Nigel Slater announces a new book, I quickly make a spot next to all his other books that sit on my bookshelf. 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. 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.

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. It is just a recipe, a suggestion for something you might like to make for others, but it is what I do. Each one a letter to a friend, a story of something I have made for dinner, the tale of how it came to be on my table.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.

We use Google Analytics to see what pages are most visited, and where in the world visitors are visiting from. But I also enjoy those that are more than just cold instructions, those that are more than simply ‘do this, do that. With over 200 recipes, each with its own story of how it came to be part of my life, the collection is a mixture of my personal favourites and many new ones. From the first jam tart he made with his mum standing on a chair trying to reach the Aga, through to what he’s cooking today, A Cook’s Book is the ultimate Nigel Slater collection.

The independent-minded quarterly magazine that combines good looks, good writing and a personal approach. I think it’s his best one, and I say that because every single recipe is something you’d make tonight, for supper, with no fuss or stress . There are chapters on vegetarian suppers and meat-feasts; cakes for everyday and special occasions; bread, everyday suppers and the ritual of tea. It is accepted by you that Daunt Books has no control over additional charges in relation to customs clearance. The best recipes are those that not only work but a delight to read, contain a useful tip or two, and guide the reader to a useful result with ease.

Chapters include: a slice of tart, a chicken in the pot, everyday greens, the solace of soup and the ritual of tea.
