SF Edition, Toast (No. 71)
Nigel Slater, OBE, is perhaps Britain’s most treasured food writer, loved by cooks the nation over for his comfortingly do-able recipes and his colourful writing, the companionable tone of his bestselling cookbooks and his longstanding column in the Observer. In his funny and poignant memoir Toast he describes the ingredients that combined to make him the cookery writer he is today – a childhood that certainly had very little that was comfortable about it.
