A Cook’s Book (Deutsche Ausgabe)

Nigel Slater writes in his latest book about how his cooking has changed over the years, describing a developmental process during which he has gathered numerous tricks and experiences. He shares the stories behind the recipes, recalls the first time he had a wonderful baguette in Paris, and raves about the twenty minutes he takes each day for tea and biscuits to refresh himself, breathe, and get back on track.

As he has often proven, he manages to maintain a balance between down-to-earthness and poetry in his writing. Few authors can bring to life the moments that define a cook's life so vividly. From the first jam tart he made with his mother to the dishes he cooks today, this is the ultimate Nigel Slater collection with over 200 favorite recipes.

“Cooking is – at least for me – about making something to eat for yourself and sharing it with others, but it is also – whisper it – about the quiet moments of joy that one can experience along the way.” Nigel Slater.
