Greenfeast

Nigel Slater is one of Britain's most highly regarded food writers. His beautifully written prose, warm personality and unpretentious, easy-to-follow recipes have won him a huge following. He writes an award winning weekly column in the 'Observer' and edits their 'Food Monthly' supplement, and he is a regular contributor to Sainsbury's 'The Magazine'.

'There's a zen-like calm reading Greenfeast, the latest from Nigel Slater. Perhaps it's the simple, yet graceful way he describes a dish: greens, coconut curry is "vibrant, verdant". Or the brushstrokes by artist Tom Kemp that punctuate pages throughout the book. Or simply that Slater writes so beautifully about how he - like so many of us - is eating less meat. But ultimately it's the recipes. I dare you to open the book at any page and not say to yourself, "Yes, I'd fancy that for dinner tonight"' Independent
