The Kitchen Diaries by Nigel Slater
‘The food in ‘The Kitchen Diaries’ is simply what I eat at home. The stuff I make for myself‚ for friends and family‚ for visitors and for parties‚ for Sunday lunch and for snacks. These are meals I make when I stop work‚ or 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. It is what I eat when I’m not phoning out for pizza or going for a curry. This is the food that makes up my life‚ both the Monday to Friday stuff and that for weekends and special occasions. And without exception every single recipe in this book is a doddle to cook.’
