What a fun and inspiring book! Slater's website introduces him as a "cook who writes," and he can write. This book is worth the time for his stories and culinary adventures (I'm envious of the international offerings readily available near his home) as well as the legit-for-home-cooks recipes. I'm excited to focus more on seasonal cooking (getting produce at the height of its goodness), try new things, and have fun experimenting with whatever I discover in shops or my own pantry.

A pure delight.
