incorrect feedback - By: Mrs. Hazel Walker, 08 Sep 2010 
I must apologise for leaving a negative feedback for this supplier, it was not intentional, my misunderstanding of the system, sorry.
lives up to expectation - By: S. Bristow, 19 Aug 2010 I had hoped Father Christmas would deliver this last Christmas, but he didn't.
Having heard nothing but good about it I decided to treat myself now the price is lower.
It is very muchin the vein of Sophie Grigson's 'Eat your Veg' with the BBC shows about 20 years back, & 'The Fruits of the Earth' even longer ago.
For vegetarians & meat eater alike. A huge treat & feast for the eyes & stomach.
My sister loves it! - By: JJ, 16 Aug 2010 I bought this for my sister as a birthday present & she's been raving about it ever since ... well, big brownie points for me!
Tender. Nigel Slater. - By: H. AURELIUS-HADDOCK, 09 Aug 2010 We have been urged since time immemorial never to judge a book by its cover.
Not soin the case of this latest offering from Nigel Slater at Fourth Estate.
It is a quite beautiful book with a slip off sectionin the dust jacket to reveal the stylish binding & lettering below.
It gets better as you open up & scan the contents.
He is not about to lecture us as to the efficacy of self sufficiency.
He livesin a London town house with modest garden, which as he points out is hardly adequate for such grand plans.
Moreover, he attempts to woo us gently into the unparalleled experience of cooking vegetables fresh from the garden, or purchased from the market.
Much has been madein the last year about fresh produce, & his story has the same resonance .
He hasn't however, tried to emulate anyone else's ideas or for that matter, recipes.
He is, as ever an individual with an unique style of writing about the food he prepares.
He moves between the wistful prose & a high- five enthusiasm when his favourite veggies are converted into dishes.
The culinary staples of onions, potatoes & tomatoes are treated as the chieftains of the vegetable hierarchy, & the recipes can almost be tasted from his sumptuous recipes & photos.
He also gives due consideration to the more obscure, marrow & the like.
As this is book is referred to as "Volume 1" we are tempted with an excerpt towards its close with his take on Volume 2, on fruit.
Personally, I can't wait to get my hands on it.
Excellent value - By: 2tone, 30 Jun 2010 Book was described as "used" but lookedin mint condition. Excellent value & v prompt delivery.
