Nigel Slater, a year of good eating

What a lovely start to a cook book, here is a man so passionate about food. I look forward to trying some of the recipes soon. 

Introduction

We are not here for long. So let's at least make ourselves something good to eat.

A lovingly kneaded loaf; a casserole of beef, garlic, thyme, stock and onions you have left to it's own devices in a slow oven; a salad that crunches and crackles  with young, spring leaves and sprouted seeds. A sandwich maybe, it's hot filling of roast pork and crackling peeking tantalising from between two pieces of bread. A fool. A tart. A sticky rib. The possibilities are infinite.
