In case you have not followed along from Wednesday’s
post, Overlook is publishing Nigel
Slater’s Real Fast Food
and Real Fast
Desserts in paperback next week.
I’ve sliced, mixed, braised, and baked my way through four simple
recipes starting with “Chicken with Olives and Oranges” and “Bulgur Wheat with
Mango and Mint.” Real Fast Desserts, a
follow-up spawned

Nigel Slater, prolific
cookbook author, food
writer, cook, and film
muse, has been hailed in the U.K. as a “national treasure” and is indeed a
proper Brit himself, yet I’m convinced that he wrote his book Real
Fast Food while living in a tiny NYC apartment, complete with galley
kitchen, shallow cupboards, and approximately two square feet of counter
We're off for Thanksgiving weekend, but will sign off with a couple of post-Thanksgiving sandwich ideas from the great Nigel Slater, author of
Real Fast Food, just released in a new paperback edition with an introduction from Nigella Lawson:
Roast Turkey, Apple, and Cranberry Sandwich
Slice the cold roast turkey into pieces about as thick as a silver dollar, which is probably thicker than you would expect. Grate an apple or two, skin and all, and stir in a dollop of cranberry sauce. Scatter in a few walnuts and add a drizzle of nut or sunflower oil. Season the sliced turkey, being enthusiastic with the salt, then pile onto unbuttered brown bread with the grated apple and cranberry.
Roast Turkey, Hot Bacon, and Chutney Sandwich
Now we're talking. Butter two slices of hot toast. Cover one thinly sliced cold roast turkey. Spread the turkey with mango chutney. Cover the mango chutney with baconthat is both hot and crisply fried. Slap on the second piece of butter toast.
Nigella Lawson has written a new introduction to Nigel Slater's culinary classic Real Fast Food, releasing next month in a beautiful new paperback edition. Slater, the bestselling author of Toast, is one of the world’s most accomplished food writers.
"An instant classic . . . Anyone who loves food should have this book. If my kitchen should ever - God forbid - catch fire, this is the book I would grab from my shelf and run out with. I don't say I 'couldn't' live without it, but I wouldn't want to. And nor, once you've read it, will you." - Nigella Lawson, from the Introduction to Real Fast Food.
HALFWAY DOWN THE DANUBE has an interesting discussion going on about the democrats and McCain. (Click this 189. blog post title for link.) A view from western-Asia, eastern-Europe.
Definitely worth checking out, and definitely worth clicking on the links provided -in the HDTD blog, and in the comments.
I love the videos on HDTD--both the Obama one (linked) and the "McCain" take-off (embedded).
Right now, I'm still rooting for Hillary Clinton, but if Obama wins the nomination, I'm going to add those videos to my blog, too.
yum....
What a delectable dessert which is so tempting. Thanks for the lovely giveaway and the photos are great.saubleb(at)gmail(dot)com

The computer just asked me to prove that I wasn't a computer by typing in the words sevence ampons. Then it discarded me. All I did was a bit of whinging about how all I had for afters was crushed biscuits and instant custard. Now it wants me to write lededa iskereld: I feel like Tolkein, staring at the ceiling whilst biting on his pencil.<br />I really wish I was Nigel Slater, or his dog.
That looks delicious & decadent. I have never been bold enough to make a souffle..maybe this will inspire me to do so... @anniemos on twitter
Thanks for the reminder, I almost missed the chance to win one of these books. They look like really good ones.
