“The Holy Grail of home cooking is food that is quick to make but not thoughtless or compromised. Nigel Slater’s recipes achieve this in such a skillful and satisfying manner that you may begin to wonder why you’d even bother with longer format cooking again.”
—Deb Perelman, author of The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook
“Nigel Slater is such a joyful writer. But what I love best about his books is the way he thinks about flavor, dreaming up combinations I’m eager to taste. He’s done it again: I want to make every recipe in this book.”
—Ruth Reichl, author of Delicious!
“Nothing [is] ever going to come close to Eat. An instant classic.”
