Nigel Slater.his budget, his kitchen, his food, him, rumble grump

[Minimammoth]

It had to be done. A Nigel Slater thread just to get it off your chest.
Do we really have the time that you have Nige?
Does he ever cook for more than one?

I never thought he was making love to the camera or that he is sexy.

I think he's just passionate which comes across nicely.

not like Nigella, with all the dripping and licking and velvety smoothness and eye lash fluttering. FFS!
I want to tell her: " it's just melting chocolate, woman, not a seduction training course!"

If that's "making love" I feel sorry for his partner :o

I love Nige's voice, I find it ever so soothing. I'd love him to read me a bed time story. If he wanted to bring some grub round too wouldn't say no.

The programme Is a little over worked. How ever his passion for food does shine through.

I remember seeing him in the allotment, catching a glimpse of him giggling. Seemed less effected.

@ soup

We have git two p&ms but will now use the small one for pepper and chuck away the useless grinders

I love Nigels voice and often put on one of his DVDs when I feel a bit in need of comfort
I went down the garden and picked about a kg of redcurrants and blackcurrants today, combined with raspberries and I just used Nigels recipe for summer pudding.
Its in the fridge with tins of catfood weighing it down
Will scoff it tomorrow with a ton of thick cream.

I could listen to his voice all day.

I like Nige, and his books are actually far less pretentious then the vast majority of other celeb chefs. And they work better too.

However, the 'left over' giant chicken breast in the fridge (about £5 worth, was pretty hilarious.

Though in this house, the most hilarious episode ever voted by moi, is the one where he goes to his GIANT fridge to take out a 1kg punnet of 'left over' strawberries. WTF!?

I don't think they are "left overs" as such, just stuff he fancied in the shop but hasn't got round to using in something specific.

Love Nige's recipes,they always taste gorgeous(but then I guess they would).

Less brown paper and string would be a huge bonus though,now I'm into my Lidl years with the dc eating me out of house and home it does grate a tad.

Nigel Slater is a feathery stroker and literally makes me shudder. He has oddly hesitant hands and his hair is very unhygienic.

He just looks so greasy I'm
Not sure I could bring myself to eat what he's made.

But he refers to them as 'leftovers' Soup! I'd love to see what he starts off with, if that's what's leftover

Well this is what he used to look like if that helps? [warning: dodgy facial topiary]

They are left over insofar as he hasn't used them by the end of the week.

"They are left over insofar as he hasn't used them by the end of the week."

You can't really accuse him of meal planning

I love him, I would kill for that kitchen and his gorgeous saucepans.

As Diddl says - he really needs to work on his menu planning if he 'just happens' to have all this food lying around at the end of the week

Oh god. I would kill to cook like NS, the way I did pre-kids...I used to buy all this random stuff from the market, anything that was massively reduced, and eat like a queen. I particularly remember a whole shoulder of lamb for £1 from a posh butcher, a whole salmon for £5 if I gutted and scaled it myself, and a brace of partridges from the market, 2 for £2.

DH was commenting the other day that we ate fancier stuff when we were students and had no money than we do now, simply because we had time to go shopping every day and hoover up the bargains.

Lovely Janice Turner interviewed him once for the TImes. IIRc she said he was rather fernickity

I like Nigel. I absolutely cannot abide the barefoot fucking contessa though.

He looks dirty to me. Also I can't stand- I could use basil, I could Rosemary, I could use Parsley.. Just pick one and be fucking done with it you tit..

God yes, I ate amazingly as a student.

I washed dishes in a Soho restaurant as a student and ate better than all of you. Ha ha

I love Nigel! Have you read his book 'Toast' - absolutely brilliant. His cake recipes are insanely good. Nope, not a bad word to say about the man...!
