4.0 out of 5 stars A Year of Cooking and Eating, Mar 14 2007

By	Kelly Rossiter (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

When my son first started showing an interest in cooking in his mid-teens I gave him a cookbook by Nigel Slater. Slater's attitudes encompass all of the cooking things that make sense to me - use what you have on hand, understand simple ingredients that taste good together, toss things in and don't worry about it and if you make a mistake don't spend the whole dinner apologizing. Dinner is about sharing, not about showing off (although there are many who would disagree with that). This new book by Slater entitled Kitchen Diaries follows a year of his cooking and has the hallmark of those earlier books but with the added idea that he wouldl use local ingredients in season when he could and that he would avoid supermartkets as much as possible. Kitchen Diaries is a beautiful book filled with all kinds of insights about eating and cooking and thinking about cooking. Slater isn't a fussy cook and that is one of the great strengths of this book. There are a lot of recipes and most of them have very few ingredients. He does assume that the people who use his books know their way around a kitchen, so he doesn't go into exhaustive detail about how to do things, but that's okay - if you are a beginner, you can figure it out. Really. Unfortunately I don't live in the same place as Slater so I can't follow his dinner suggestions by the calendar. His March 19 diary exaults in the first alfresco dinner of the year - I live in Canada and March is still ski season. The photographs are beautiful and show simple food that looks like someone made it rather than some food stylist putting the photo together. My one quibble with the book is that the photographs aren't labelled so you don't know which recipe it is depicting, but that's a minor fault. I've tried a bunch of these recipes and they are simple, straightforward and taste great. What more can you as for at dinner time?
