    A joy to read, and a joy to cook from.

  • kleins99 on January 15, 2010

    I love the loose nature of this book, that the recipes inspire, are simple, but mostly it makes me take things less seriously, knowing, if I follow my appetite, it will taste extraordinary. Not just to me, but to those around me. I love the way Slater doesn't just offer a recipe for steamed mussels, but offers 6 or 7 ideas for flavor profiles that work with steaming mussels.

    Great general cookbook. Everything works and most recipes are ideal for every-night dinners.

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • A gutsy, piquant sauce to serve alongside grilled lamb, chicken or fish

    • ellee on June 08, 2011

      This has to be tasted to be believed, it is gorgeous! And don't be put off by the anchovy, I have fed this to professed anchovy haters and not heard a MURMUR of protest.

  • An earthy, meal-in-a-bowl-type soup

    • ellee on June 08, 2011

      Doesn't look great in the bowl (all that spinach) but is super tasty.

  • A creamy smoked fish and potato supper

    • rainbowmaker on August 15, 2011

      Didn't have any cream to hand so I used a tin of condensed mushroom soup and then made it up to 500ml with semi-skimmed milk. Oh, and I used half potato and half sweet potato.

  • A pork roast

    • Jane on May 11, 2011

      This was really easy, suitable for a weeknight dinner as well as a Sunday roast. I did the bay leaf and garlic marinade though he suggests other alternatives. Make sure to allow an hour for marinading on top of of the 1.5 hours for roasting plus resting time. I put the pork on the oven shelf as he suggested with the fat dripping into the pan of potatoes below though this meant when I removed the potatoes to turn them, the fat dripped onto the oven floor (lots of black smoke) so make sure to put another pan in when you take the potatoes out.

  • A sausage and mash supper

    • MelMM on August 04, 2010

      An outstanding version of a classic supper.
