The title says a lot really, there are some nice ideas in this book but they arn't very original (beef burgers arn't original, but nice to have some advice on them). I havn't tried many recipes yet but neither was hardly impressive (to me, hot choc made of 70% cocoa just tastes a bit bland, dark Galaxy though is much better) & the pasta with goat's cheese & garlic was alright though was much longer to prepare & make & nowhere near as nice as Gordon Ramsay's recipe with pancetta, leeks and mushrooms. There are some recipes that looks nice (chicken in pesto gravy will be tried at some point) though sometimes he is just not specific enough, like assuming that everyone knows he is referring to a frying pan when he says ...

I adore Nigel Slater, not only does he write very readable books but an added bonus, his recipes are absolutely foolproof, demonstrating how easy it is to prepare delicious nutritious food without breaking the bank. I first discovered Nigel's 'Real Fast Food' 10+ years ago. Many cookbooks later, I've yet to find a duff recipe. All of his books are brilliant, but this is the one I use most, it has a good range of recipes that satisfy both me (mostly veggie)and my (confirmed carnivore) hubby. Tonight we had the mushroom and spinach lasagne - scrummy!!

I used to really like Nigel Slater's food page in the Observer when I was a student in the 90's, so I decided to pick up a book of his. I must say I was pretty disappointed - Nigel still writes with an undiminished passion about ingredients and flavours, but the recipies in here are frankly lame. If you cook everything in butter and double cream of course it's going to taste good! And thanks for the recipe for a baked potato. What really turned me off was the recipe for a rump steak sandwich in which Mr Slater admits that he "loathes brown beef". What cook in their right mind "loathes" brown beef for god's sake? Doesn't that discount half of the classic French and Italian dishes amongst others? You're a fake Nigel, go back to journalism.

Some years ago, I gave up buying cookbooks. I had shelves of them, and as friend said to me recently, '"People only ever get round to making five recipes from every new cookbook they buy.'" But a few months ago, feeling the urge for something new, I treated myself to Kitchen Diaries. Now, even if you didn't make a single dish from it, Nigel Slater is a great writer and this is going to be one of the great foodie classics. You can settle down on the sofa with Nigel like you settle down with Elizabeth David. But I'm finding that I'm using this book to cook with three or four times a week. These are great, practical, seasonal, cheap, easy delicious things to cook every day. Tonight, it was sausages and squash (must have taken all of five ... Read More:

I have several Nigel Slater books and, crucially, he has alternative ingredients and options for each recipe. That's what makes this book so great for a fussy eater like me. For many of these there are 7 or 8 alternatives, perhaps to make a meat dish vegetarian, or change the spices or key ingredients used. The most versatile recipe book I own, and really acknowledging that people have different tastes.

7.Eating for England: The Delights and Eccentricities of the British at Table by: Nigel Slater June 02, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.99 You Save: £4.00 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.94
"Eating for England" is a Pick n' Mix of a book. Read it all in one go and it gets repetitive and downright indigestible. But there are a few sweet and well-written little pieces within that make the book worthwhile. I would not really recommend this to anyone under 30 or over 65: and if you are the sort of person who is quickly bored by 40-somethings reminiscing about BBC children's programs of the 1960s or long-vanished crisp flavours, then you should give it a miss, too. Where Nigel Slater's book rises above the standard nostalgia-trip, it does so because he can write well on occasions and his genuine love of food comes through. But there were far too many instances when a well-written piece was followed by yet another push for Farmers' Markets ... Read More:

8.Real Fast Food: 350 Recipes Ready-to-Eat in 30 Minutes by: Nigel Slater October 18, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.46
For the past few years I've found myself cooking the same sorts of dishes, spending a couple of hours in the kitchen, making something that would last a few nights. But they weren't particularly exciting; not the 10th time around, at least. The odd take-away or pre-packed meal got me through the end of the week when I was too tired to cook. A friend bought me Real Fast Food a month ago. What can I say? This is transforming my cooking. Truly inspirational. Without a doubt the best and most practical cook book I own. I can't recommend it enough. The book has a great "store cupboard list" of ingredients that will help ensure you are always able to make something that hits the spot - tasty, varied and and quick dishes that never fail to delight.

Writing your autography in terms of the food you ate is a neat idea, and it was great to read about so many different types of food I remmeber from my youth. The book is a little inconsistent though: in the middle section the food takes a back seat to the goings on in his family life. Also, the book got weirder towards the end, as though he was running out of steam. He tantalises us with brief glimpses of his love life and then leaves us wondering. And the book ends very abruptl

This is the most useless recipe book if you are wanting receipes for slow cooking, basically there aren't any in the book. I am sure its a good book for normal cooking but that is not what I wanted and if you are after slow cooking/croc pot cooking, do NOT buy.
