Bestselling cookery writer Nigel Slaterâs mantra is ârecipes donât ruleâ. âAppetiteâ is the revolutionary book that will help all cooks to have fun making anything from a baked potato to Christmas dinner.

Inspiring and irresistible, âAppetiteâ takes a hundred simple classics and casts aside the insecurities of normal recipes. Ingredients are listed, followed by a suggestion of how much you might need, i.e. âdouble cream â" start with 100 ml then see how you goâ. Readers will be liberated to use their own judgement, indeed actively encouraged to skip half the ingredients for pared-down versions that will teach them the essence of a dish. Recipe titles reflect this approach â" âa cheap spaghetti supperâ, âa big pork roastâ, âa curry to make you sweatâ.

Slaterâs typically unpretentious style and ready wit put the fun back into food in this beautifully illustrated book. The first half is packed with instructive, funky photographs and covers all the basics â" from âgetting rid of the three-course-meal tyrannyâ to âwhy junk food is so deliciousâ. A long and helpful section will tell you where to get hold of everything worth eating. Written partly for the non-cook, this will be varied enough to attract more experienced cooks and people who bought âReal Foodâ and want another helping.
