I think it’s his best one, and I say that because every single recipe is something you’d make tonight, for supper, with no fuss or stress . There are chapters on vegetarian suppers and meat-feasts; cakes for everyday and special occasions; bread, everyday suppers and the ritual of tea. A salad tossed together with broad beans, salted ricotta and the first white-tipped radishes of spring; a roast chicken, its crisp skin served with a fat jug of its roasting juices on an autumn day or a gloriously messy platter of grilled aubergines, hummus and torn flatbread shared with the best of friends. The Hogarth Press where I’m working, is in the heart of the literary world, with authors coming in all the time.Mrs Woolf, wife of the manager, is a very celebrated author and, in her own way, more important than Galsworthy.

From the first jam tart he made with his mum standing on a chair trying to reach the Aga, through to what he’s cooking today, A Cook’s Book is the ultimate Nigel Slater collection. A longtime food columnist in the UK and the author of fifteen previous books, he cooks food which is sometimes unmistakably British—Cumberland sausage with cheddar roasted-potato mash; smoked haddock and mussel pie—and a page or two later he’s suggesting food which is resolutely, nimbly not of any single tradition: broccoli with pumpkin seeds and bread crumbs; ground lamb with lime and cilantro.

Chapters include: a slice of tart, a chicken in the pot, everyday greens, the solace of soup and the ritual of tea. Receiving no public funding, the RA depends on the continuing generosity of our supporters and Friends. But I also enjoy those that are more than just cold instructions, those that are more than simply ‘do this, do that. Each one a letter to a friend, a story of something I have made for dinner, the tale of how it came to be on my table.
