I love that Nigel Slater’s books are read through cookbooks. I enjoy the recipes, but the atmospheric intros make his books for me.
This book is really more about the entire first part of the winter season, which just so happens to include a lot of Christmas traditions. Since that’s pretty much how I’ve landed for how I deal with December, it was completely up my alley. Definitely not a must read if you can’t stand any mention of the holidays, but if you’d like some low key inspiration for getting through the darkest days, it’s great.
