Book description
The beloved author of Eat and Tender presents 150 satisfying and comforting recipes based on his favorite childhood food memories and culinary inspirations, accompanied by reflective personal essays. A collection of more than 150 delicious, easy, and gratifying plant-based and meat recipes, A Cook's Book is the story of famed food writer Nigel Slater's life in the kitchen. He charms readers with the tales behind the recipes, recalling the first time he ate a sublime baguette in Paris and the joy of his first slice of buttercream-topped chocolate cake.
