Review

‘You could eat sublimely for a year using only Nigel Slater's 'Tender’ Guardian

‘If you want to start growing your food this is a lovely reference book of vegetable varieties…it is also packed full of Slater's relaxed, unfussy and very workable recipes' The Times

'Nigel Slater has brought out another indispensable food book. 'Tender' is a hymn to his back garden allotment and makes vegetables the star of the show' Independent on Sunday

'A strikingly beautiful artefact…lavishly illustrated…Slater's book is a melange of memoir, cultivation manual and cookery book…a fine collection of honest, interesting, life-sustaining recipes that beg readers to pick up a vegetable knife and start chopping' Telegraph

'Slater's writing, always a bit exquisite, has here been burnished a stage further into prose poetry…it is nothing less than a combined spiritual testament and devotional manual: a guide to the way of St Nigel…he's genuinely original…Nothing here is second-hand, let alone insincere. And that makes Tender a book to treasure, to read and re-read, as well as to cook from…it really is that rarity, a companion for life.' Evening Standard

'Slater applies his very evocative, sensual writing style to such topics as tomato varieties – which ones he likes and why – with impressive verve…it's an inspiring read; we are left feeling if he can do it, so could we.' Time Out

'Nigel Slater invariably hits the mood of the moment, and here he turns his poetic prose to gardening, growing and eating vegetables…recipes and photography brilliant as always…the book is perfect for everyone' Country Life

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE THIS !!! 29 Jan 2012
By Kate
Format:Paperback
Magnificent! Beautifully presented books, excellent recipes. I'm not a natural cook, cooking is not my greatest skill. This book is great for me as it's nice and simple, no fuss. I have only had this a few weeks and I've used it loads. Great for finding delicious recipes for winter veg (i.e. the stuff still lingering in the veg box at the end of the week!) We have an allotment and it's got great tips for growing too.
Look forward to using this all year round. Love it and recommend it to anyone.

Our son fancies himself as a bit of a gourmette chef, so it was an easy present to get for him. I just hope he doesn't dig up his back garden to plant his own herbs and vegetables... Read more
