A much needed riposte to our obsession with instant gratification. Gizzi Erskine helps us appreciate slower cooking and emphasises that good food takes time. Taking it slow is likely to make you happier, as well as resplendently well-fed.
Erskine covers braising, baking, poaching and roasting and how to make the most of every flavour. Relish her versions of a comforting stew, homemade noodles and dumplings, irresistible roasts or indulgent puddings. Slow captures Erskine's sense of fun and passion for food.
