Opposites Attract

Food writer Nigel Slater looks at ingredients that provide a real contrast on the plate, as he creates a week's worth of simple yet delicious meals.

Whether it is sweet and sour, hot and cold, or spicy and cool, the right flavour combinations can create great results. Many people don't have time to follow cookery books and in this series there is no need to write down complicated recipes, as Nigel's unflustered style makes the dishes easy to remember. Nigel also visits local allotment holders and creates a tasty feast from the fruits of their labours.
