Cauliflower Cheese & Mustard Soup Recipe Book: Nigel Slater's Real Food  Buy the book here  Review: 1 star! What a disappointment! This recipe did not taste as good as it looked. It was bland and boring. Far too creamy. Neither of us liked it at all. I even attempted a rescue attempt by dissolving a Knorr Vegetable stock pot into it to no avail. Aga conversion: Mainly used the hotplates for this recipe. Will I make this again? Absolutely not. # aga   # nigelslater   # nigelslater realfood   # cauliflowercheeseandmustardsoup

Pea & Garlic Soup Recipe Book: Nigel Slater's Real Food  Buy the book here  Review: Wow! Fab! 5 STARS all the way!! So tasty and very easy to make. So it would appear that Nigel is friends with Nigella and he has credited her for this recipe in his book. I went through my Nigella collection but can't seem to find this recipe in the books that I have so it must be one she has personally given to him.  It didn't take long at all to make this (if you exclude the hour roasting the garlic). I think I can safely say that both my husband and I are going to stink of garlic tomorrow. I really like that this soup just serves 2 so you can double up if more is needed. Honestly, when you look at this soup in the dish (creamy sage green kind of colour), you kind of think, what on earth is this? My husband said it smelled like mushy peas when he walked in the kitchen tonight, but I personally thought it smelled more of garlic, but then I have sat watching TV with roasting
