Theres a zen-like calm reading Greenfeast, the latest from Nigel Slater. Perhaps its the simple, yet graceful way he describes a dish: greens, coconut curry is vibrant, verdant. Or the brushstrokes by artist Tom Kemp that punctuate pages throughout the book. Or simply that Slater writes so beautifully about how he like so many of us is eating less meat. But ultimately its the recipes. I dare you to open the book at any page and not say to yourself, Yes, Id fancy that for dinner tonight Independent
