I always get excited when I hear a new Nigel is coming. Most of his books I’ve read cover-to-cover many times over and this will be the same. Reading this is like curling up on a couch with an old friend and catching up on all their news – what they’ve eaten, where they’ve been, what they bought at the market – the small moments in day-to-day life that make it worthwhile. The only thing better would be sitting in Nigel’s heavenly kitchen while I read it.
