Bestselling cookery writer Nigel Slater's mantra is 'recipes don't rule'. 'Appetite' is the revolutionary book that will help all cooks to have fun making anything from a baked potato to Christmas dinner. Inspiring and irresistible, 'Appetite' takes a hundred simple classics and casts aside the insecurities of normal recipes. Ingredients are listed, followed by a suggestion of how much you might need, i.e. 'double cream - start with 100 ml then see how you go'. Readers will be liberated to use their own judgement, indeed actively encouraged to skip half the ingredients for pared down versions that will teach them the essence of a dish. Recipe titles reflect this approach - 'a cheap spaghetti supper', 'a big pork roast', 'a curry to make you sweat'. Slater's typically unpretentious style and ready wit put the fun back into food in this beautifully illustrated book. The first half of the book is packed with instructive, funky photographs and covers all the basics - from 'getting rid of the three-course-meal tyranny' to 'why is junk food so delicious'. A long and helpful section will tell you where to get hold of everything worth eating. Written partly for the non-cook, this will be varied enough to attract more experienced cooks and people who bought 'Real Food' and want another helping.… (plus d'informations)

Fantastic resource cookbook, all about starting points and where you can take a 'recipe' from there. Encourages thinking and being more involved with your cooking than just measuring/mixing/cooking. It is a cookbook but it is also wonderfully readable.

This was a library read but I'm pretty sure I'm going to order my own copy of this one. ( )

My new top favorite. Food, Italy, Florence, Love and Conflict. A brilliant first novel by Kazan. I hope there will be more. My favorite quote:
'I've never touched a coin, ' she said proudly. 'What good would money do me, eh?'
'When you go to market ... to sell your incredible cheese,' I said. 'You must sell cheese, surely?'
'If I sold it, what would we eat, my girls and me? I'd have a hard time chewing silver.' She opened her mouth, revealing gums planted here and there with brown, crooked teeth.
'Buy other food!'
'Sell food to buy food? I can see why the bankers do so well in Florence, if people are that stupid'

This is what a cookery book should be, not a collection of recipes that one is supposed to follow to the letter, but a guide to cooking with recipes offered as a basis with which to work; Nigel Slater positively encourages you to adapt them to your taste or whatever you have in your kitchen store.

He talks about food and cooking, and dispels many of the traditional myths. He suggests keeping things simple - not too many ingredients, not too many herbs or spices (with a few stated exceptions); he is not afraid to speak his mind nor express his likes and dislikes.

The book is beautifully illustrated, almost every page has a full colour photograph or photographs on the facing page showing the completed dish and sometimes the various stages of its production. The quality of the photographs is first class. The recipes are clearly described and invariable each has a few words of introduction or explanation highlighting particular aspects of the recipe or its ingredients.

For me this is the perfect cookbook, I've always tended to vary recipes, sometimes to the complaints of others who say that the resultant dish is cannot be authentic! Well, now I have an excellent precedent. ( )

This is my favorite cookbook and I often turn to it for inspiration. It’s a book one can sit down with for hours - it's so well-written! His food is yummy, the pictures mouth-watering, and the attitude relaxed and enjoyable. The recipes are easy to prepare, and there are lots of alternative suggestions, which I find useful but also stimulating! ( )
