Appetite

Nigel Slater"s inspirational guide to home cooking."I want you to take in the spirit of the recipes and to deviate according to your ingredients and your feelings. I urge you to break the rules. I want you to follow your appetite."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.
