I have added five new recipes to my repertoire in the last two weeks and they're all fab. Especially the orange and lemon cheescake - yum!

What else have you made? I love reading Nigel Slater but haven't made many of his recipes as they always strike me as being very carnivorous.

Oh good!

(Did I recommend it to you? I recommend it to most people )

Janeite - we are fish-eating vegetarians and there's plenty of good recipes in the Kitchen Diaries.

It's wonderful isn't it?
What else did you cook?

I did his "real" spaghetti bolognese which was truly delicious.

Also his sausages with salami and lentils (but without the salami - still lovely though)

Chickpeas with chorizo (off his website, not from the book)

Lamb stew, which I wasn't bowled over with at first. But I froze half of it, and when I reheated it added a little cinnamon. He says eat the day after cooking, and it was certainly better the second time around.

Finally, his smoked mackerel on toast, where you mash smoked mackerel with cream and parmesan. I've never had smoked mackerel before and wasn't sure if I'd like it, but it was gorgeous.

People say there's a lot of cream in some of his recipes and it's true, but I used about a third of the cream he recommends in the mackerel recipe. Also, when I made the cheesecake (my first ever!) I substituted half the mascarpone with cottage cheese (because I accidentally didn't buy enough of the other ), but it worked really well.

I love the man. To eat food that tastes, well, like real food not something knocked up at home - that's really satisfying.
