Making It Up Isn't Making Do

Food writer Nigel Slater creates a week's worth of simple, yet delicious meals. Using everyday ingredients, Nigel raids his cupboards, fridge and vegetable patch to rustle up sumptuous food that is both inspiring and achievable.

There is no need to write down complicated recipes as Nigel's unflustered style makes these feasts easy to remember. These are dishes you will love and meals you will cook time and time again.

Nigel encourages us to experiment in the kitchen and have the confidence to make dishes up as we go along. He also visits local allotment holders and creates a tasty feast from the fruits of their labour.
