Award winning writer Nigel Slater has gathered together a superb collection of recipes that warm, satisfy and please. Real Cooking is not about fancy stocks, sauces and spun sugar baskets, but understanding the little things that can turn a simple supper into something sublime. This is real cooking. The roast potato that sticks to the roasting tin; the crouton from the salad that has soaked up the mustardy dressing - these are the things that make something worth eating. And worth cooking. - Nigel Slater.
