Tender: v. 1: A Cook and His Vegetable Patch

By Nigel Slater
Fourth Estate Ltd - 2009

I only bought it today, but I already love it! It's a brick of a book, with a beautiful layout, beautiful photos and lots of text. Well written text, in true Nigel Slater fashion. Informative text, even if you don't grow you own vegetables.

The book is sorted by vegetable. You'll get a general section with Slater's thoughts, then information on growing the vegetable, often including Slater's 'garden diary', then a text on cooking with that vegetable, useful ingredient combinations, trivia, and of course lots of recipes. And knowing Nigel Slater they are usually good.
