Summary

Classic cookery writing from the award-winning food writer and author of the best-selling autobiography Toast.

The food in The Kitchen Diaries is simply what I eat at home. The stuff I make for myself, for friends and family, for Sunday lunch and for snacks. These are meals I make when I am having mates over or when I want to surprise, seduce or show off. This is what I cook when I’m feeling energetic, lazy, hungry or late. This is the food that makes up my life, both the Monday to Friday stuff and that for weekends and special occasions.

Much of it is what you might call fast food, but some of it is unapologetically long, slow cooking. But without exception every single recipe in this book is a doddle to cook. A walk in the park. A piece of piss.

Fast food, slow food, big eats, little eats, quick pasta suppers, family roasts and even Christmas lunch. It is simply my stuff, what I cook and eat, every day.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

An absolute delight.

Nigel Slater's way with both food and words is pure magic. I love how his daily cooking oscillates between indulgent feasts and quick and simple meals and always puts the ingredients at the heart of the meal. Nigel Slater's books are tomes of joy and love for food and cooking.
