.. 'The Christmas Chronicles'
I'm late to discovering Nigel. I've just bought this audio book & I absolutely love the way he passionately describes the seasons & ingredients in detail. Has anyone read this? I can see me probably working through his other books!

I haven't got that one, but I've accumulated most of his cookbooks over a 20 year period. He's my food idol. His autobiographical book is good too..."Toast"...and also "Eating for England ", a fascinating ramble through our favourite foods.
I recommend anything by him.

Hi pasta! x
I cant believe I've missed his books, heard of him of course but never read his stuff. So enjoying reading this book. Yes I googled his other titles, I'll certainly be adding them to my collection. It's been nice to sit & listen with a coffee pasta.

I've never gotten into audio books. My mind wanders enough with reading even though I'm better remembering what I see rather than hear.
I hope you enjoy his books...and it should be easy to find second hand ones on Amazon. Xx

I remember seeing Toast on tv, it was fascinating.
I used to think his cooking was a bit too pernickity for me but actually I now really enjoy his cookery programmes. And his quiet thoughtful approach.

I like the way he often uses home-grown or seasonal produce and also tries to support local shops - that may be because he lives in a nice area of London with good greengrocers, butchers, and delis!

Toast remains one of my favourite books, being in the age group that remembers all the things Nigel writes about.

His recipes are very cookable too......

This sent me off on an inventory of the books I have...and what I'm missing. Have now added to Amazon wish list and eBay watch list...thanks Eleanor!
