I listen every year. Wish we could get every little essay from the book narrated. It’s perfect company with December cooking and baking.

Great Christmas stories and nostalgia

Beautifully written and spoken by Nigel Slater. Just a great listen of Christmas nostalgia and some recipes interspersed. I loved listening!

Want to feel Christmassy?

Missing Christmas pasts in England, now in California... listening to this brought every good memory back. Descriptions are lush and the atmospheres Mr Slater captures with his words are gorgeous. Highly recommend to listen to just before Christmas.
