Thirst - Nigel Slater

Paperback.  Very good condition.  2006

Bestselling food writer Nigel Slater turns his trademark enthusiasm for the pleasures of eating to the pleasures of drinking fresh juices.   Packed full of recipes and advice, he celebrates the pleasures to be gained from the `nectar of the gods.'

In this inspiring collection of juicing ideas, he suggests elegant combinations (pear and watercress), comforting old favourites (banana, milk & honey),  plus clean-tasting, revitalising ideas (pineapple mint shake).   For Slater, the health benefits - which are clearly explained - are an added bonus, a 'glorious freebie'.

The recipes are all there because they are delicious.   Full of advice on what fruit tastes best , he also tells you what goes into the blender instead of the juicer, and whether something tastes better or is more beneficial with the skin on.
