Slow is a book about the unashamed enjoyment of cooking and eating delicious food. Bringing a sense of real pleasure back to the table, it encourages us to source good, seasonal ingredients that are produced as locally as possible, and making the effort to create a meal for family or friends in a relaxed, loving way. These irresistible recipes are simple to prepare, so their outcome is not dependant upon having special cooking skills, but rather on the desire to find the best possible components and then taking the time to do them justice. These are recipes to relax into and to enjoy making as much as eating!
