There's something unique & always enjoyable about a Nigel Slater book.

It's so much more than just ideas of what to cook & which seasonal ingredients to use, but, why food can make us so happy & bring back wonderful memories of childhood meals & beyond.

I'm currently revisiting The Christmas Chronicles. Notes, stories & 100 essential recipes for midwinter.

There's one chapter titled: 'Eating Winter - The food of fairy tales' - Here he writes of snow, stars & shadows & being out in the cold.

Within the pages & already catching my eye for meals across Christmas & New Year are ..

Pot-Roast Partridge with Parsnips & Smoked Garlic

Leeks, Beans & Italian Sausage

Seeded Cheese Biscuits

Potato & Feta Pancakes

I find something new to enjoy reading in this book every year.
