This book is a gorgeous and comprehensive review of twenty-nine vegetables that can be grown in a small space. It appeals to my gardener / cook's heart, and I am so glad that I bought the hardcover edition. My husband/cook was happy to try out the Hungary-inspired Stew recipe, and when he did we were highly entertained by these directions: “Bring everything to an enthusiastic simmer . . . “ and “Bake, unpestered, for a good hour and a half.” I can't wait to spring another recipe on him, and am only frustrated because I can't figure out how to chose which veggie to read about next. That, and I am not sure why Slater wasted his time on brussel sprouts. Lovely in tone, a bit vast in scope. Not for the vegetarian, what with the "better cooked with duck drippings" tone of many recipes. But, but, but . . . for a person who looks to add inspiration to eating locally, seasonally, and with meat playing a supporting role in most meals, you can do far, far worse than Nigel Slater. When I look at a cookbook for the first time, I do so with sticky notes in hand to mark recipes I’d like to try. I’ve never marked so many pages as I did the first time I opened Nigel Slater’s Tender: A Cook and His Vegetable Patch. Slater is a celebrated food writer in England, but relatively unknown here. He specializes in fresh, comforting, simple fare: while this is a book about vegetables, he doesn’t shy away from cheese, fats and carbs. He is not vegetarian, but his hearty vegetable-based recipes appeal to herbivores and omnivores alike. Tender is arranged by vegetable, taking inspiration from Slater’s enviably abundant garden. Each vegetable’s chapter is prefaced with an essay on its cultivation in the garden and its uses in the kitchen; Slater is such a charming writer that I was moved to read the book from cover to cover, more like a book of short stories than a cookbook. His evident love for plants and food alike make Tender a must-read, and the incredible food photography throughout makes it a mouthwatering treat even if you never cook a recipe from its pages (though of course you will). Schöne Übersicht über wichtige Gemüsearten - wie baut man sie an, was für Eigenschaften haben sie und wie kocht man damit. Teilweise sehr britisch ;) Ich habe das wie einen Roman gelesen, der Stil ist sehr persönlich, man lernt so eine Menge. Am meisten haben mich die Assoziationen gefreut, es gibt also nicht nur einfach Rezepte, sondern Abschnitte wie "Welches Gewürz passt dazu am besten" oder "Das ist man am besten zu...". Sehr schönes Kompendium, auch wenn es natürlich noch viel mehr Gemüse gibt als hier dargestellt. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Slater's book was informative, a very enjoyable read and all the recipes I've tried so far have been excellent. What more can a cook ask for? This one gets five stars! ( )
