The food in The Kitchen Diaries" is simply what I eat at home. The stuff I make for myself for friends & family for visitors & for parties for Sunday lunch & for snacks. These are meals I make when I stop work or when I am having mates over or when I want to surprise seduce or show off. This is what I cook when I m feeling energetic lazy hungry or late. It is what I eat when I m not phoning out for pizza or going for a curry. This is the food that makes up my life both the Monday to Friday stuff & that for weekends & special occasions. Much of it is what you might call fast food because I still believe that life is too short to spend all day at the stove but some of it is unapologetically long slow cooking. But without exception every single recipe in this book is a doddle to cook. A walk in the park. A piece of p***. Fast food slow food big eats little eats quick pasta suppers family roasts & even Christmas lunch. It is simply my stuff what I cook & eat every day. Nigel s food
