WINNER OF THE FORTNUM & MASON AWARDS BEST FOOD BOOK 2018


From the BBC1 presenter and bestselling author of Eat, The Kitchen Diaries and Toast comes a new book featuring everything you need for the winter solstice.


Read by the author, this audiobook is accompanied by a pdf of the recipes from the Christmas Chronicles.

The Christmas Chronicles is the story of Nigel Slaterโ€™s love for winter, the scent of fir and spruce, ghost stories read with a glass of sloe gin, and beeswax candles with shadows dancing on the ceiling. With recipes, decorations, fables and quick fireside suppers, Nigel guides you through the essential preparations for Christmas and the New Year, with everything you need to enjoy the winter months.
Taking you from 1 November all the way to the end of January, The Christmas Chronicles covers everything from Bonfire Night, Christmas and New Year to Epiphany. Throughout the season, Nigel offers over 100 recipes to see you through the build-up, the celebrations and the aftermath. Here are much-loved classics such as goose and turkey (and making the most of the leftovers), mincemeat and the cake; recipes to make the cold months bearable, like ribsticker bread pudding with Comtรฉ and Taleggio, salt crust potatoes with blue cheese and goatโ€™s curd, and hot-smoked salmon, potatoes and dill; as well as bright flavours to welcome the new year, including pink grapefruit marmalade, pear and pickled radish salad and rye, linseed and treacle bread.
Packed with feasts, folktales, myths and memoir and all told in Nigelโ€™s warm and intimate signature style, The Christmas Chronicles is the only book youโ€™ll ever need for winter.

Nigel Slater is a bestselling and award-winning author, journalist and television presenter. He has been the food columnist for the Observer for over thirty years and is one of Britainโ€™s most highly regarded food writers. His memoir Toast won six awards and became a film and stage production. He lives in London.
