Ripe: Orchard Cook

In the sequel to his acclaimed volume on vegetables, Tender, Britain’s foremost food writer Nigel Slater returns to the garden with Ripe. This book, focusing on fruit, serves as a cookbook, a guide to produce and gardening, and a loving tribute to the source of inspiration for the book--Slater’s forty-foot backyard garden in London.

Ripe combines intimate, delicate prose with recipes beautifully showcased in lavish photographs. Slater presents over 300 delicious dishes, both sweet and savory, including Apricot and Pistachio Crumble, Baked Rhubarb with Blueberries, and Crisp Pork Belly with Sweet Peach Salsa. With a personal and almost confessional approach to his own culinary experiences and appetites, Slater has created a masterpiece that will gently lead you from the garden to the kitchen, and back again.
