Soft and Crisp

Nigel Slater explores classic taste combinations. He looks at how contrasting textures can really lift a dish, and makes a savoury pie with a puff pastry crust.

Nigel Slater continues his exploration of brilliant culinary combinations, this time turning his attention to texture.

Success in the kitchen is not just about tastes and flavours; contrasting textures can really lift a dish. He makes a classic savoury pie with a puff pastry crust, and a reworking of his favourite childhood pudding: poached pears. He even puts traditional pizza ingredients together in a new way to make an entirely original dish.

Nigel also travels to Brighton to meet a couple who have their own seafront smokery, who show him a soft and crisp recipe of their own.
