Newly reissued, the classic 'Appetite' frees foodies from the tyranny of the cook book, as the brilliant Nigel Slater gives voice to his guiding philosophy: 'recipes don't rule'. Inspiring, irresistible, 'Appetite' takes 100 classic dishes and then throws caution to the wind. With its unpretentious and simple food ideas, such as a cheap spaghetti supper or a spicy curry to make you sweat, it is the anti-recipe book. Offering suggestions and tips, it encourages readers to use their own judgement, giving you the confidence to experiment in the kitchen. Deliciously colourful and witty 'Appetite' puts the fun back into food and gets cooks thinking more instinctively, taking jaded food lovers back to the fundamental question: what do you want to eat today?

Nigel Slater is one of Britain's most highly regarded food writers. His beautifully written prose, warm personality and unpretentious, easy-to-follow recipes have won him a huge following. He writes an award winning weekly column in the 'Observer' and edits their 'Food Monthly' supplement, and he is a regular contributor to Sainsbury's 'The Magazine'.
