Description

From the best-selling author of Eat, The Kitchen Diaries and Toast comes a new book featuring everything you need for the winter solstice.
Written as a diary, and starting in September, this is the story of Nigel Slaters love for winter, its fables and its family feasts. Here are legends and folktales, myths and memoir, all told in Nigels warm and intimate signature style.

Nigel Slaters new book will have everything you need to prepare for and survive midwinter, from a rundown of Europes Christmas markets and which books to read and films to watch, to where to go for a winter break and what candles to buy. And at the heart of the book are Nigels recipes, from quick fireside suppers to winter baking and marmalade making.
