This fall, the most-used new cookbook in my home was, no contest, Nigel Slater's Eat. Not only was I instantly drawn to its compact size and cool yellow canvas cover at the bookstore, but the recipes inside (there are more than 600!) are written prose-style—simple instructions in regular English, with zero fussy obscure cooking techniques. It's a fantastic collection of recipes for home cooks looking for delicious ways to feed themselves (or their families). Also, I'd be lying if I didn't mention that I love Eat so much, I'd often take it to bed with me and read it like a novel before falling asleep at night. It's that good. Here's one of my absolutely favorite recipes from Eat—a warm, rich, and spicy vegetarian dish: Potatoes With Spices and Spinach. It's super easy to put together and can be eaten on its own (maybe with some warm naan) or paired with a simple grilled meat or roast chicken. Bonus: Because of the warmth of its spice, it's also delicious cold, if you're prone to picking through last evening's leftovers the morning after (like I do). Potatoes With Spices and Spinach Ingredients: potatoes, cayenne, red pepper flakes, turmeric, cumin, garlic, spinach,
