The best cookery books of 2013

A brilliant new brick from Nigel Slater, and the other cookbooks you should want for Christmas

issue 23 November 2013

Nigel Slater’s books lead the field in cookery book design, but his latest, Eat: The
Little Book of Fast Food
(Fourth Estate, £26, Spectator Bookshop, £20), is the most beautiful yet. The size of a large paperback and twice as thick, the single word Eat is embossed in black on a mustard-yellow cloth cover.
