‘Nothing was ever going to come close to Nigel Slater’s “Eat”. An instant classic’ Cookbook of the Year, The Times

This year’s smallest yet fullest cookbook is from Nigel Slater … ‘Eat’ reminds us that he remains the UK cookery writer who breaks new ground as regularly as a mole.’ Rose Prince, Daily Telegraph, ‘Books of the Year’

‘There’s nobody better than Nigel Slater at making cooking seem a relaxed, modest and wholly enjoyable affair … This chunky, easy-going book continues that approach in 400-plus pages which never run out of inspiration’ Daily Mail

‘It may look ‘little’, but this is a great thick chunk of a book, beautifully produced, containing more than 600 recipes’ Carolyn Hart, Telegraph

‘Eat is the most beautiful yet … You could cook from this book for years, needing no other, and the dishes are so delicious you might not even want another’ Elfreda Pownell, Spectator

‘This isn’t a book about practicality, or a new concept, or seasonal eating, even though it embraces all these things. As with his wonderful “Kitchen Diaries”, this book is about what we love to eat – whether it’s ‘thickly cut salmon, generously-spread cream cheese, a golden chewy bagel’ or a salad of apple, ginger and endive. Buy this if not as a present for yourself, at least for your kitchen’ Harper’s Bazaar

‘This is fast food in the best sense; and the bright yellow, cloth-bound volume could quickly become your everyday go-to cookery book’ The Times, ‘Books of the Year’

‘A stout little stocking-filler enticingly bound in saffron cloth … dense with Slater’s signature, hearty-modern recipes, suggestions for variations and appetising photographs. A book to keep in a drawer at work, for mid-week meal inspiration, or for a guilty afternoon exercising your appetite when the boss isn’t looking’ The Sunday Times

‘It's a pleasingly chunky book that's full of simple delicious ideas to inspire us to cook something good when time is short’ Sainsbury’s Magazine
