GREEN DREAM

I have always hero-worshipped Nigel Slater: I love his food, his writing, him.  Now, I don't have a vegetable patch, I don't even have a garden, but I am so wonderfully, greedily inspired by Tender, the book that chronicles his own love for the vegetables he grows, picks and cooks.  This is not a vegetarian book by any means - I am mad for a man who can write a recipe entitled 'Broad beans, herbs, bacon and its fat' - but it celebrates the vegetable kingdom as only a true prince of the kitchen can.  It is a huge, huge book - running to over 600 pages and weighing in at over one and three quarter kilos - and all of 
it is a delight.  Sad to say, as someone with no soil to her name, I have begun to look very longingly at my Seeds of Italy catalogue indeed.

Buy TENDER: A Cook and His Vegetable Patch by Nigel Slater from Amazon.co.uk for just £15.00 and from Amazon.com for $41.38.

Have a look at the SEEDS OF ITALY website.
