ⓘ About Nigel Slater
Nigel Slater is a British writer that specializes in writing about food. Born April 5, 1958 in Wolverhampton, England, he is perhaps best known for his 2004 novel Toast, a journey into his past largely remembered through the food in his pantry and his desire for home-cooked extravagant meals while his mother attempted and generally burned dinner, serving as the back-up plan toast instead. Slater has not only written about food extensively but has also worked as a broadcaster and a journalist. He wrote for The Observer Magazine and penned a regular column that had a memoir style. He writes for the Observer Food Monthly supplement, something he fell into after five years writing about food for the magazine Marie Claire (and putting out a cookbook for the magazine too).
