PRAISE FOR APPETITE: 'Nigel is a bloody genius.' Jamie Oliver 'The pick of the bunch is Nigel Slater's APPETITESlater 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 'Slater remains the reigning champion, a writer incapable of uninspiring sentences. Reading Slater is always a prelude to rushing off to the shops and cookingit's no exaggeration to say that Appetite is an instant classic.' Daily Express
Justly acclaimed for his excellent, easy-to-follow and imaginative cookery books covering every foodstuff under the sun, Nigel Slater now turns his attention to liquids, supplying a remarkable 98 recipes for fruit and vegetable drinks of all descriptions, from Mango, Ginger and Grapefruit Slush to Spinach, Carrot and Tomato Juice. All sound delicious, and Slater characterizes each one so that we know exactly what to expect - Nectarine and Mango is perfect for sunbathers, while Mandarin and Papaya is 'best drunk on a morning that follows some sort of overindulgence'. As ever, his instructions are painstakingly thorough and disarmingly chatty, and the sense of personality shining through makes the book an enjoyable read by itself. In his previous volumes, Slater has been robustly dismissive of health concerns, but he seems to have suffered something of a conversion (perhaps his famed devotion to sausages has finally taken its toll) and now waxes lyrical about the nutritional benefits of fresh juices, barely letting a page go by without some nugget of information about the antioxidants, beta-carotene or lycopene contained in his favourite smoothies. They certainly sound impressive, but it's hard not to feel a guilty sense of pleasure when reaching the final, 'Indulgence', section, which features less elevated but equally delicious-sounding treats such as Clementine and Lemon Fizz and Double Chocolate Milk Shake. Only one reservation - previous Slater books have been notable for their clear, attractive design, so it's a shame to see this one full of difficult-to-read typefaces, vast amounts of white space and gratuitous arty photographs. Slater more than any other contemporary cookery writer inspires the reader to action in the kitchen, and to see his accessible, exciting ideas repackaged into a trendy, coffee-table artefact would be a loss indeed.

Product Description
Food writer Nigel Slater turns his enthusiasm for the pleasures of eating to the pleasures of drinking fresh juices. His book, full of recipes and advice, celebrates the pleasures to be gained from the "nectar of the gods". He explains that once you reconcile yourself to cleaning your juicer you're hooked: the benefits of a glass of fruit and vegetable juice can be felt almost immediately. In this collection of juicing ideas, he suggests elegant combinations (pear and watercress), comforting old favourites (banana, milk & honey), and clean-tasting, revitalising ideas (pineapple mint shake). For Slater, the health benefits - which are clearly explained - are an added bonus, a "glorious freebie".
