  Nigel Slater's classic guide to comfort food 'Real food means big-flavoured, unpretentious cooking. Good ingredients made into something worth eating. Just nice, uncomplicated food.' Based on Nigel Slater's absolute favourite food, whether it be The Stickiest Ever Chicken Wings or Baked Goat's Cheese and Pesto in Filo Pastry, Smoked Mackerel Dauphinoise or the classic Bacon Butty, this classic has gone a long way in at last creating a nation of food lovers. In typically unpretentious style, Nigel finds good things to make using mass produced white bread to the finest Italian loaves, or with standard English confectionery to real chocolate made from cocoa solids. With Nigel's unerring understanding of flavours, irresistible, simple recipes, and passionate lively writing, 'REAL FOOD' deserves its place on everyone's kitchen shelf.

  Observer columnist Nigel Slater has chosen his eight favorite foods--potatoes, chicken, sausages, garlic, bread, cheese, ice cream, and chocolate--and sculpted a sensational cookbook around them. For each of the eight he offers a selection of recipes, some from friends and colleagues, including Alastair Little, Rowley Leigh, Peter Gordon, and Nigella Lawson. The book is peppered with short essays on ingredients that bear Slater's trademark dry wit. He is definitely one of Britain's best food writers and his collaboration with photographer Jonathan Lovekin makes this book stand out from the crowd.
