From the best-selling author of Eat, The Kitchen Diaries and Toast comes a new book featuring everything you need for the winter solstice. Written as a diary, and starting in September, this is the story of Nigel Slater's love for winter, its fables and its family feasts. Here are legends and folktales, myths and memoir, all told in Nigel's warm and intimate signature style. Nigel Slater's new book will have everything you need to prepare for and survive midwinter, from a rundown of Europe's Christmas markets and which books to read and films to watch, to where to go for a winter break and what candles to buy. And at the heart of the book are Nigel's recipes, from quick fireside suppers to winter baking and marmalade making. Gold title * Combining Nigel's love for winter with the easy-to-dip-into diary entry style of A Year of Good Eating, the new book will appeal to everyone who looks forward to preparing for the winter season, as well as anyone looking for enjoyable rituals and routines to help them survive the midwinter period. * As with Kitchen Diaries III, Nigel's new book will be innovatively produced and really stand out, with a beautiful selection of images and carefully selected recipes. * Nigel Slater's books have phenomenal sales: Eat - over a quarter of a million copies; The Kitchen Diaries II - nearly a quarter of a million copies ; A Year of Good Eating - one hundred thousand copies; The Kitchen Diaries - nearly a quarter of a million copies; Toast - half a million copies.
