The Kitchen Diaries II – Nigel Slater

I found this and Volume III at the used book store for ridiculously cheap – a lovely holiday find.

I forget how much I like Slater’s writing style until I’m reading one of his books again. And yes, these are cookbooks you can read. The stories that go along with each recipe are just such a comforting snapshot of the changes in the season throughout the year. They’re also not terribly fussy recipes, which is a definite plus.
