I think I'd buy a book about paint drying if Nigel Slater wrote it.

One of my most used cookery books. You can tell coz the pages are mostly stuck together with all sorts of yumminess!

The recipes are alright, but they seemed to me very similar to ones in other Nigel recipe books (from both before and after this one was published). The concept is comfort food focusing on 8 different key ingredients, and the recipes are appealing, but I felt like it just wasn't as good as [b:Real Fast Food: 350 Recipes Ready To Eat In 30 Minutes|2378598|Real Fast Food 350 Recipes Ready To Eat In 30 Minutes|Nigel Slater|http://www.goodreads.com/assets/nocover/60x80.png|69664] which has a similar concept but is packed full of far more recipes and variations, and less slightly sexual food writing - 'the pleasure I get from squashing a naked, virginal steamed potato' is one such corker..... If you want atmospheric, seasonal and delicious food writing, read [b:The Kitchen Diaries: A Year in the Kitchen with Nigel Slater|13588445|The Kitchen Diaries A Year in the Kitchen with Nigel Slater|Nigel Slater|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1348531059s/13588445.jpg|69663] (which I loved) or if you want good recipes, and lots of them, read Real Fast Food, which I linked above.
