A Cook’s Book: The Essential Nigel Slater by Nigel Slater is being released in the US this month having been published in the UK in October of 2021. My review from the October 2021 new cookbook review: This title was written at the author’s kitchen table during COVID but many of the stories and recipes have been milling about for years. Slater reminds us that there are no stylists or props in his photography (ever) and that if things (a plate, a bowl) look familiar that is because they are from his daily life and probably used in another title. I particularly love that fact. Nigel Slater has a calming effect with his words and his real imagery which is still stunning. If you have never purchased a Slater title before, now is your time.

Back to the book, the bakes are simple, yet elegant, and approachable for every level of baker. The tart chapter is filled with recipes that are calling my name – especially the Creamy maple tart. In addition to sweet bakes such as Sugar plum galette with halva, Citrusy cheesecake, and Chocolate sour cream poundcake; there is a delicious sampling of savory bakes. This book is our baking option in our EYB Cookbook Club in May. Events
