Nigel Slater, simple suppers, mortar and pestle

jojo2910

Hi,

I too was after the pestle and mortar and after much searching couldn't find it on the internet. So using the email address on his website I contacted Nigel Slater. This is the response I got:

I’m sorry, but the pestle and mortar is an old one of mine that I have had for years. Sadly, the sculptor no longer makes them. It is a pity, because not only is it easy to use, but I have had literally hundreds of enquiries about it. If I find one similar I will let you know.

kind regards
Nigel

Here's the Betterware one, but it's only a small one, nowhere near the size of Nigel Slater's.

I too am looking for one like his!

Is this one too small?

That's the one I posted the link to above. It's only 4 inches across. Nigel Slater's one is probably about 10-12 inches.

This one is about 9 inches, not cheap but at £29 ish not as bad as £99!

do you know why it will have been removed as spam? it was my first ever post on mse and i thought i'd not done it correctly so it wasn't showing!

Oh dear! Think I just reported one of these posts as abuse by mistake as I was scrolling down by finger on my iPad. If I have and it was you I apologise! I have no idea how to undo it! It happened so fast I don't even know who it was! I really am sorry! Will try to be more carefu!

Edit. Just seen your post Dibble4. Maybe that's what I hit! It was so quick I'm not sure!

that's ok, i was thinking it was something i'd done wrong!

My new pestle and mortar arrived yesterday and i'm so pleased with it, had to get some peppercorns out just to try it out straight away, it was so so easy and quick! Highly recommend - made from marble.
