follow recipes from Nigel Slater's 'The Kitchen Diaries' in 2006

I did this last year as we have an allotment and I wanted to make more of the fruit and veg we were growing – like most of you, I got my favourites which are now part of my repertoire (sausages and lentils, black pudding and parnsips). But an even bigger effect is that I now think, plan and cook much more seasonally – I won’t buy stuff that’s been flown in/hothoused any more cos it just doesn’t seem right .. good on ya Nigel x
