This review is from: Real Fast Desserts: Over 200 Desserts and Sweet Snacks in 30 Minutes (Hardcover)

Another of Nigel Slaters great books - the others are Real Fast Food and 30 minute meals from throughout the World. Funny, opinionated, advocate of good ingredients and very easy things to make. I really dont make a lot of puddings - we usually just have fruit but if you want a quick way of spicing up a supper or dinner this is a godsend. Beware - not a low fat type but you can adapt a lot of these to be very healthy. He understands true greed - and is full of good advice about things like getting the gooey crunchy bit round the edge of your crumbles! Probably not the first book of his to buy - one of the others would give you a huge repertoire of main quick dishes but once you have one you'll want them all.

I have 100s of cook books but if I had to go down to a few they would be Nigels 3, Nigella Lawsons How to Eat, Sue Kreitzmans Low fat one (to balance the excesses!) and Delia Smith for things like Christmas cake and puddings.
