Nigel Slater's Simple Suppers - Specials (2010)

Nigel Slater transforms Christmas leftovers into scrumptious meals which make the prospect of festive entertaining a treat rather than a terror. After the pressure cooker of preparing the main Christmas meal is over, Nigel shows that nothing in the kitchen need be as stressful again. He creates simple dishes from leftovers and seasonal veg, ensuring that nothing from the most expensive food shop of the year goes to waste. As he prepares his garden for a whole new year of vegetable and fruit growing, Nigel also raids his wintery plot, local allotments and the kitchen garden at Chatsworth House to show how to get the very best from seasonal vegetables.

As many people reluctantly consider having a healthy start to the New Year, Nigel Slater proves that even things that are good for you can taste amazing. Nigel prepares a week's worth of sumptuous dishes from seasonal produce that will delight and brighten any winter table. All the dishes are delicious, hearty and incredibly easy to make.
