Product Description
Product Description
With over 300 recipe ideas and many wonderful stories from the fruit garden, Tender: Volume II – A cook’s guide to the fruit garden is the definitive guide to cooking with fruit from Britain’s finest food writer.
‘When I dug up my lawn to grow my own vegetables and herbs I planted fruit too. A handful of small trees - plum, apple and pear - some raspberry, blackberry and currant bushes and even strawberries in pots suddenly joined my patch of potatoes, beans and peas. These fruits became the backbone of my home baking, the stars in my cakes and pastries and even inspired the odd pot of jam. More than this, I started to use them in new ways too, from a weekday supper of pork chops with cider and apples to a Chinese Sunday roast with spiced plum sauce. The hot family puddings and fruit ices we had always loved so much suddenly took on a delicious new significance.’ (Nigel Slater)

Not just about baking and cooking, Nigel's informative and personal narration about his garden is fascinating
(even for those like me who really enjoy looking at gardens more than getting dirty). Each chapter focuses on one fruit so its very good for seasonal cooking. His quick look ups in each chapter about what tastes good together throws up some suprising and enjoyable combinations. I have never tried a recipe that did not work from Nigel Slater's books and so far tender ii is turning out to be just as reliable. The lamb and apricot recipe is especially warming.

What more can I say. I already have Volume 1 Tender: Volume I, A cook and his vegetable patch
& this is obviously the second half of one book.
As a grower of fruit & veg this is a pure delight, as I can just delve in & find something delicious to make with whatever is to hand.
Well done Nigel!

(What's this?)
If you are familiar with Nigel Slater, you will have a pretty fair idea of what you are going to get here. If you have already seen/ already own Tender Vol 1, you will have an even clearer picture of what to expect. In common with Slater's other books you get infectious enthusiasm, beautiful writing, inspiring recipes, and encouragement to innovate. In common with Tender Vol 1, each chapter is dedicated to an ingredient with a bit about how to grow it, the varieties and Slater's experience of growing it in his own garden, as well, naturally, as the recipes. The difference, of course, is that this time his topic is fruit rather than vegetables.
In addition to the inevitable inclusions - apples, blackcurrants, gooseberries, plums, rhubarb etc, there are some less common fruits, figs, quince, whitecurrants, medlars.
As you might expect there are a lot of puddings in here (in fact you could probably cook a lifetime of puddings from this one book), plus a number of meat recipes, including a significant number of pork and game recipes. Less anticipated, the book also has quite a few salads, and through the inclusion of chestnuts, walnuts, amongst others, the recipes stretch to some interesting vegetarian options as well.
Some example recipes which give an overall feel for the contents of this mighty, 1200 page volume are:-
Pheasant with apples and cider
A deep cake of apples, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Spiced apricot couscous
Roast partridge with blackberry pan juices
Casserole of parsnips, chestnuts and mushrooms
Figs with gorgonzola
Celeriac and grape salad
Goats cheese and thyme scomes to accompany a pear
Mackerel with rhubarb
What else to say? It's a Nigel Slater cookbook, it's excellent, I recommend it.
