Reader Reviews:Wonderful book (0/0 people found this helpful)This is a great book, part food diary, part recipe book. It has loads of ideas for meals, some are vague descriptions of what Nigel ate (but interesting nonetheless) others are more formal recipes. Although as with all Nigel Slater books he is sometimes vague about timing/temperature/quantity; but this is a good point for me. It allows you to play with the recipes and take them as inspiration rather than a straightjacket. Even if you take out all the slightly vague bits there are still loads of very good recipes (worth buying still).
The Kitchen Diaries by Nigel Slater - Used (0/0 people found this helpful)Originally ordered a new copy for a birthday present for my wife from Amazon which was no longer available from the publisher. Decided to purchase a second-hand copy which arrived promptly and as described, without book jacket and a line through the price, otherwise in very good condition. This Nigel Slater cookery book was first published in 2005 but it does not disappoint as it has good recipes based on fresh seasonal produce. We were first made aware of this book when a friend we visited recently, cooked one of the recipes for supper. Very happy that I was still able to obtain a copy - we also have other publications by this creative and intelligent cook. Fantastic (0/0 people found this helpful)Great seasonal recipes. We loved the bean and tarragon soup. The mackerel is great on a summer's evening. Also the best coffee cake recipe ever.
Disappointed (0/1 people found this helpful)I normally like Nigel Slater's recipes so was really looking foward to this book coming out, particularly as it deals with seasonal produce, something which I was interested in learning more about.
Lovely Seasonal Cooking (0/0 people found this helpful)I like the fact that you can get ideas on what to cook with in season products. I have tried new recipes with vegetables I have never used before and with great success. My family love the food, it's no nonsense, easy to cook and full of flavour. I now flick through before I go shopping for inspiration. My only downside is that I wish I had bought the hardback edition as it is quite a thick book and difficult to keep pages open in my book holder but that doesn't reflect on the content.
