How to Eat: The Pleasures and Principles of Good Food

How to Eat: The Pleasures and Principles of Good Food

by Nigella Lawson (Author)

Synopsis

Hailed by many as their cookbook of 1998, if not the decade. How To Eat is far more than just an imaginative collection of over 350 uncomplicated, delicious recipes. Nigella Lawson combines a refreshingly down-to-earth practicality with a passion for food and a writer's ability to find just the right words to evoke the taste of a succulent roast chicken or a home-made custard. Her excellent advice on how to organise your kitchen (and your life) for the minimum of fuss is interspersed with moments of sheer, unadulterated pleasure as she pauses to relish what she is preparing to eat. Now available as a high-quality, good-value trade paperback, readers will be able to buy two copies: one for the kitchen, one for the bed-side table.

Media Reviews
Nigella Lawson is one of the best and most influential of British food writers ... The staple cookbook for a whole generation -- Ruth Rogers, co-author of The River Cafe Cookbook
My kitchen bible to this day... You made me realise that every meal is a celebration. You didn't teach me how to cook. You taught me how to eat. -- Nigel Slater * Observer *
How to eat, how to cook, how to write: I want two copies of this book, one to reference in the kitchen and one to read in bed. -- Yotam Ottolenghi
A classic of the genre: a book that easily gathers both experiences and novice cooks under its wing, with something to teach them all, and a witty confiding manner as it does so. Frankly, no kitchen is complete without. * The Irish Independent *
How to Eat may just be the best cookery book ever * Daily Telegraph *
