... however, reduce me to yelling "HE'S JUST MADE EGGS ON TOAST!" at the TV. It's good music, don't get me wrong, but the grandiose crescendos of all these hot indie tracks culminating as he serves up a stuffed mushroom has started to give me the giggles.
And he needs a hair cut. But I can't criticise on that front.
Anyway, on to his book.
***TOAST***
A while ago I popped into an Oxfam bookshop near work and was surprised to see not one but two copies of an autobiographical work by Slater. I had no idea it ...more

A while ago I had a "one day..." aspiration to work for a TV chef. As I have now changed my mind, and as I try to be as anonymous as possible on here, I suppose I can now speak the truth about them. So I shall. First off, I love to cook. Not in a poncy, French sort of way (no offence if that's your sort of thing!) but in a homely, healthy, showing-how-you-love-someone sort of way. I like to reduce wastage as much as possible and cook from scratch whenever I can, time and work-related exhaustion allow. Or commuting based exhaustion more to the point! So I love Nigel Slater's shows. His half hour offering for the BBC show him trying to make ... Read the complete review

For example, the pink wafers were a big no-no! ***Bit rude in places *** I must mention the odd ... Read the complete review

Excellent This book will take you back in time with every morsel of each sentence and transport you to the tastes, essence and emotions attached with each food type had as a child. It entices you to remember smells such as going home from school and walking into freah baked bread, the smells you smell as an adult and remember that time when you were a child. It immediately throws you back in memories and thoughts, ones which the majority of people would have forgotton, but it is only specific food types that allow your brain to be taken back. Items of food such as battenburg, artic roll, rice pudding, over boiled vegetables and jam spread onto hot ... Read the complete review
