The Kitchen Diaries II: Nigel Slater

I haven’t finished this book yet.  I shan’t till December.  But I’m enjoying reading Nigel’s Kitchen Diary one month at a time.  That way, there’s every chance I’ll be making some new seasonal dishes in the course of the month.  It was my new year’s resolution to make at least one, preferably two new dishes every week, to broaden my repertoire.  Nigel Slater’s writing is so good there’s no problem turning the pages and feeling as greedy and eager as he about the meals he has in mind, and that enthuses me to try them too.  I love the fact that he’s opportunistic, seizing upon ingredients that interest him, and only later wondering what he could do to bring out the best in them.  This book will be with me all year long.
