Timeline

1944

Slater has two older brothers, Adrian (born 1944) and John.

Slater's parents adopted John, a neighbour's child, before Slater was born.

1956

Nigel Slater (born 9 April 1956) is an English food writer, journalist and broadcaster.

He has written a column for The Observer Magazine for over a decade and is the principal writer for the Observer Food Monthly supplement.

Prior to this, Slater was a food writer for Marie Claire for five years.

Nigel Slater was born on 9 April 1956, in Wolverhampton, then in Staffordshire.

He was the younger of two sons born to factory owner Cyril "Tony" Slater and housewife Kathleen Slater (née Galleymore).

This was his father's second marriage.

1965

His mother died of asthma in 1965.

1971

In 1971, his father remarried to Dorothy Perrens, dying in 1973.

Slater attended Woodfield Avenue School in Penn, Staffordshire.

He moved to Worcestershire as a teenager and attended Chantry High School where he enjoyed writing essays and was one of only two boys to take cookery as an O-Level subject.

Slater claims in his autobiography that he used food to compete with his stepmother for his father's attention.

Their biggest battle was over lemon meringue pie – his father's favourite.

She refused to divulge her recipe, so Slater resorted to subterfuge to turn out his own version.

"I'd count the egg-shells in the bin, to see how many eggs she'd used and write them down. I'd come in at different times, when I knew she was making it. I'd just catch her when she was doing some meringue, building up that recipe slowly over a matter of months, if not years."

1976

Slater gained an OND in catering at Worcester Technical College in 1976, and worked in restaurants and hotels across the UK before becoming a food writer for Marie Claire magazine in 1988.

1994

He became known for uncomplicated, comfort food recipes which he presented in early books such as The 30-Minute Cook (1994) and Real Cooking, as well as his memoir-like columns for The Observer which he began in 1993.

1998

In 1998, Slater hosted the Channel 4 series Nigel Slater's Real Food Show.

2003

Slater became known to a wider audience with the publication of Toast: The Story of a Boy's Hunger (2003), a moving and award-winning autobiography focused on his love of food, his childhood, his family relationships (his mother died of asthma when he was nine) and his burgeoning homosexuality.

Slater has called it "the most intimate memoir that any food person has ever written".

2004

Toast was published in Britain in October 2004 and became a best-seller after it was featured on the Richard & Judy Book Club.

As he told The Observer, "The last bit of the book is very foody. But that is how it was. Towards the end I finally get rid of these two people in my life I did not like [his father and stepmother, who had been the family's cleaning lady]—and to be honest I was really very jubilant—and thereafter all I wanted to do was cook."

2005

He appeared as a guest castaway on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs in June 2005.

2006

He returned to TV in 2006 to host the chat/food show A Taste of My Life for BBC One and BBC Two.

2007

It was published in October 2007 and was described in The Sunday Times as "the sort of ragbag of choice culinary morsels that would pass the time nicely on a train journey".

His book Tender is the story of his vegetable garden, how it came to be, and what grows in it.

2009

In 2009, he presented the six-part series Simple Suppers on BBC One, and a second series the following year.

The book was published in two volumes; the first is on vegetables, which was released late in 2009 and the second is on fruit, which was released in 2010.

Tender is described as a memoir, a study of fifty of our favourite vegetables, fruits and nuts and a collection of over five hundred recipes.

2010

Slater's autobiographical work was adapted into 2010's Toast, starring Freddie Highmore as the 15-year-old Slater and Helena Bonham Carter as his stepmother.

It has been broadcast on BBC One.

2013

In November 2013 he appeared alongside farmer Adam Henson on BBC's 'Nigel and Adam's Farm Kitchen', which was set on a working farm in the Cotswolds and covered various aspects of food production and preparation.

Slater's book, Eating for England: The Delights & Eccentricities of the British at Table (Fourth Estate), is devoted to British food and cookery.

2018

In 2018, The Lowry commissioned a stage adaptation of Toast written by Henry Filloux-Bennett and directed by Jonnie Riordan with Sam Newton as Nigel Slater.

After a sell-out run at the Week 53 Festival, it was announced that it would transfer to the Traverse Theatre at Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Both productions of the show received rave reviews with critics praising it for its charm and glowing nostalgia.

2019

In 2018, it was announced that Toast would transfer to The Other Palace in London, premiering on 9 April 2019.

In March 2019, it was announced that Giles Cooper would play the role of Nigel.

In April 2019, it was announced that the show would embark on a UK National Tour in the autumn.
