OverviewWith over 300 recipe ideas and many wonderful stories from the fruit garden, Tender: Volume II – A cook’s guide to the fruit garden is the definitive guide to cooking with fruit from the presenter of BBC One’s Simple Cooking. ‘When I dug up my lawn to grow my own vegetables and herbs I planted fruit too. A handful of small trees – plum, apple and pear – some raspberry, blackberry and currant bushes and even strawberries in pots suddenly joined my patch of potatoes, beans and peas. These fruits became the backbone of my home baking, the stars in my cakes and pastries and even inspired the odd pot of jam. More than this, I started to use them in new ways too, from a weekday supper of pork chops with cider and apples to a Chinese Sunday roast with spiced plum sauce. The hot family puddings and fruit ices we had always loved so much suddenly took on a delicious new significance.’ With over 300 recipe ideas and many wonderful stories from the fruit garden, Tender: Volume II – A cook’s guide to the fruit garden is the definitive guide to cooking with fruit from the presenter of BBC One’s Simple Cooking.

Table of ContentsReviewsReviews for Tender Volume I: 'Slater's writing, always a bit exquisite, has here been burnished a stage further into prose poetry!it is nothing less than a combined spiritual testament and devotional manual: a guide to the way of St Nigel!he's genuinely original!Nothing here is second-hand, let alone insincere. And that makes Tender a book to treasure, to read and re-read, as well as to cook from!it really is that rarity, a companion for life.' Evening Standard 'Slater applies his very evocative, sensual writing style to such topics as tomato varieties -- which ones he likes and why -- with impressive verve!it's an inspiring read; we are left feeling if he can do it, so could we.' Time Out 'A fine collection of honest, interesting, life-sustaining recipes that beg the reader to pick up a vegetable knife and start chopping.'
