British food writer, television personality, and memoirist Nigel Slater writes stylishly, and his fine performance is a happy surprise for listeners. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Alan Minskoff discuss this packed text with short chronicles of Slater’s experiences dining, cooking, traveling, and reporting from countries ranging from Lebanon to Iceland. But it may be his more homespun revelations of his own London home and interactions with the craftspeople who have created his plates and pots, wooden spoons, and cookware—along with his handmade paper and unusual inks—that remain with the listener.
