One of the many problems I have with supermarkets is that they try to persuade me that any fresh fruit and vegetable I want is available all year round. I can eat fresh raspberries in January, green beans in February, leeks in June, asparagus in October and strawberries for Christmas dinner. The problem is that they'll have been flown half way round the world and taste of little more than wasted money. What I needed was a book to flag up when food is at its peak and give me some hints as to how it can best be used..
Nigel Slater is an obliging man. For more than a decade he's written a food column in The Observer. I've read him slavishly and he's had more influence on the way I buy and prepare food than anyone else. I think I've read just about everything he's written and when I thought of a book I needed he wrote "The Kitchen Diaries"
