Episode 27 – My favourite Christmas cookbook: Nigel Slater’s The Christmas Chronicles

This is a bonus episode, a small precious gift for you in the days waiting for Christmas. Today I’m going to share with you my favourite Christmas cookbook, Nigel Slater’s The Christmas Chronicles.

If I have to choose one book to keep with me throughout winter and during the festive season, Nigel Slater’s The Christmas Chronicles would be the book. I share with Nigel Slater the same fondness for winter months and for the magical atmosphere of Christmas. I love every single page of it, every recipe I have made, each description, emotion, memory. It is a book to treasure. Last year I made Nigel’s dried fruit drinks for winter: apricot, orange and anise with brandy, figs and maple syrup with vodka and muscat prunes and sultanas. I made them at the beginning of November and they welcomed us home for the months to come. Nigel Slater is currently my favourite cookbook author, I am avidly drinking his words and learning at each page.

Rate and review the show. It will help us to be found on line and build up an appetite for Italian food. Share with your friends, too!
