What do you guys think of Nigel Slater?

>> No.7016194

sometimes, when i turn on the television, i have a pretty good idea of what i'm going to watch. But sometimes, when the first freckles of autumn rain are blooming on the skylight, i just like to press 'channel up' and see where the night takes me. Occasionally in those crepuscular moments i stumble across his programming.

Lots of people like to eat meat and two veg for supper, and they truly go out of their way to make that happen every night. But - for me - sometimes it's far more satisfying to just shop according to what looks good, what looks right for me in that moment. Then, over the course of the week, I have to improvise. This makes me a better man than most other men excluding Nigel Slater.

At the end of a long and grudging week of sitting at my sturdy lovable desk with my sturdy lovable miniature schnauzer by my side penning columns for the guardian with a dinky ristretto from the gaggia never far from my earnest lips, it comes to Friday afternoon and i'm beginning to wane. It is in these moments when I am forced to raid my pantry for something - anything - sweet. But all i have is the entire range of ingredients for every traditional cake I could imagine. This simply won't do for me, as I like to have a bit of fun with my cooking. Fortunately, with a quick flick through one of Nigel Slater's works, I can find cakes that involve beetroot, or pomegranate molasses, or tahini, or any number of other things I am never far from in my life. He enriches my experience during those trying times.

Actual recipes are fine, could do without being sandwiched in foamy layers of airy-fairy whimsical bullshittery and musings about how special this little supper is, how dearly it is held to his fey little heart.

His shows seem cosy but he's probably loves talking about climate change and thinks multiculturalism is wonderful.

I want you to know that only three things in my life have ever moved me to tears: when i confessed my love to a beautiful mormon boy I had chased across the world to his mission in Peru and was rebuffed; when my maltese-dachsund cross Ralph ran out into the road and had his quick heart trampled by a brutish white van; when I saw the Laurent-Perrier Chatsworth garden at RHSChelsea, its romantic colours hypersaturated by the gently overcast light of British Summer. I won't be adding your opprobrium to that list. I see no point in apologising for the quiet joy I take in living my life as a humble epicure, just as I wouldn't deny you yours in savaging me with cruel words.
