Title: A good cookbook, but a GREAT read
Review: Nigel Slater's cookbooks make excellent bedside reading - except that you will find yourself sneaking downstairs to the dark kitchen to rustle up something from the fridge.... This is a super book for teaching newbie cook some excellent basics, without reading IN ANY WAY like a textbook.I would suggest Nigel Slater's books would make an excellent choice for the cook at ANY stage in their career - beginner right through to professional chef.Gread pictures too - even thought there isn't a picture for every recipe. A great example is the picture of him holding the bread dough, complete with floury hands, showing how it should be done - not just staged picture of dough rising in a bowl. The book and the pictures manage to inspire confidence in me as a cook.
