Synopsis

With its unpretentious and simple food ideas, such as a cheap spaghetti supper or a spicy curry to make you sweat, it is the anti-recipe book. Offering suggestions and tips, it encourages readers to use their own judgement, giving you the confidence to experiment in the kitchen.Deliciously colourful and witty ‘Appetite’ puts the fun back into food and gets cooks thinking more instinctively, taking jaded food lovers back to the fundamental question: what do you want to eat today? ‘He’s a genius, his food is scrummy and his voice more personal than usual.’ Guardian‘Slater remains the reigning champion…Appetite is an instant classic. It’s comprehensive, inspirational and beautiful to look at.’ Daily Express 'Nigel is a bloody genius.' Jamie Oliver
