Product Description
Review
Praise for ‘Kitchen Diaries’:
‘The recipes sound uniformly delicious, rustic and tasty…but they’re also straightforward: easy to follow, easy to cook.’ Independent on Sunday
‘Slater wants his food, above all, to be uplifting. As a cookbook “The Kitchen Diaries” succeeds brilliantly.’ Observer
Praise for ‘Appetite’:
‘Nigel is a bloody genius.’ Jamie Oliver
‘The pick of the bunch is Nigel Slater's “Appetite”…Slater has made this a something-for-everyone feast, bubbling with ideas, suggestions, hints and personal opinions that genuinely help you to make your own mind up about how and what to cook.’ The Times
‘I am getting fed up with writing nice things about Nigel Slater’s books. Why can’t the fellow be human like the rest of us and do something duff for a change? Perhaps because he’s a genius.’ Matthew Fort, Guardian

Format:Hardcover
A fantastic book. Will have you rushing out to the supermarket for bags of fruit. There are two very different reasons to buy Thirst.
Firstly - if you own a juicer this book is a must. Recipes are brilliant - practical, delicious, innovative. And the style is great.
Secondly - if you are a fan of Nigel Slater this book is equally a must. Be warned though, you'll be rushing out to buy a juicer (or two) once he gets your mouth watering with the recipe ideas.
One thing not to expect from this book is any sort of prescriptive health plan involving juices. If you want to know which juice contains which vitamin or mineral, etc, you would be better off with a book like 'Power Juices'.

I?ve used this book almost every day since I bought it last Xmas and I'm still discovering new treats, learning and becoming ever more passionate about fruit/juice. Almost everything about this book is great. Splash proof cover, Nigel's writing which is witty, informative and above all honest. Deign, photos and layout is cool. Proof of the pudding is in the recipes which are GREAT. My wife and family all enjoy the end results. Well done Nigel. If you buy just one juice book make it this one.

Format:Hardcover
With its shiny, yellow plastic cover, printed in bold red letters, at first glance this book is reminiscent of the life jackets stored under the seats of aircraft for use in the event of landing on water. The introductions to each chapter are not only in very bold print but the type is tinted with a different hue for each page, which at first appears rather quaint but becomes more appealing as the reader progresses through the book.
The recipes themselves have clearly taken a great deal of thought and messing about on the author's part and on the whole are well presented and workable. He made me want to ressurrect my juicer and get cracking on a few of his drinks without delay.
His chapter on cleaning the juicer, which is a mammoth task and one which makes users tire easily of the machine's existence, whilst entertaining and head-noddingly correct, adds no secret tips to make cleaning easier. The author could be forgiven for this, as the job is boring and arduous.
My one real criticism is that the author does not suggest a use for the pulp left in the machine after juicing. Anyone who is serious about using the book would therefore be advised to prepare a large compost heap to accommodate the pulp wasted in the juicing exercise. A few recipes for cakes and biscuits made with the offending matter may have been a good idea. (Unless, of course, I have missed something and the recipes are there all the time.) Perhaps the publisher is hoping to have a spin-off on the subject!
Would I buy the book again? Yes, I think so.

No moaning and whinging from anonymous here!!
Strange yet practical cover (Ahh!). I found the lay-out a little odd at first but once I'd worked out that if you leave a bookmark in the index then it's much better to use. Read more

Great recipes, shame about the design
I adore Nigel Slater's books and have them all - apart from this one. I can see that the publisher wanted to do something different with the packaging but the result is... Read more
