The Christmas Chronicles: Notes, Stories & 100 Essential Recipes for Midwinter

From the best-selling author of Eat, The Kitchen Diaries and Toast comes a new book featuring everything you need for the winter solstice.

Written as a diary, and starting in September, this is the story of Nigel Slater’s love for winter, its fables and its family feasts. Here are legends and folktales, myths and memoir, all told in Nigel’s warm and intimate signature style.

Nigel Slater’s new book will have everything you need to prepare for and survive midwinter, from a rundown of Europe’s Christmas markets and which books to read and films to watch, to where to go for a winter break and what candles to buy. And at the heart of the book are Nigel’s recipes, from quick fireside suppers to winter baking and marmalade making.
