Nigel's Choice |

Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the cookery writer Nigel Slater.
The British public have taken Slater and his recipes to their hearts and -crucially - their kitchens in recent years, encouraged by his philosophy that cooking need not be daunting. Don't cook to show off, he says, or because you feel you should - cook for enjoyment, and comfort. Choose good ingredients, cook them simply, and above all - relax.
Slater's passion for food grew out of a lonely, neglected childhood in which his only comforts were culinary. Born in Wolverhampton in the late fifties, his mother died when he was just nine leaving a gap in his life which he tried to fill with comfort food.Against his father's wishes, he fantasised about being a chef, later leaving home to go to catering college and then work in a variety of restaurants around the country. After testing recipes for a new magazine, he first came to public attention as food editor for Marie Claire.
Currently food editor of the Observer, Slater's books are both popular and critically acclaimed. His 2003 memoir Toast won biography of the year at the British Book Awards, his cookbook Appetite won an Andre Simon for cookbook of the year in 2000, and Slater himself has won the Glenfiddich Trophy and Cookery Writer of the Year award.
