Product Details


Product Description

Book Description

Rather than telling you how to cook, she encourages you to take pleasure in feeding yourself and others. . . the premise is solid. The New York Times I am not a chef. . . . My qualification is as an eater. I cook what I want to eat. Nigella Lawson How to Eat captures Nigella Lawsons bold kitchen credo and entirely personal approach to the often daunting task of preparing great meals. Replacing the austere perfection of glossy photos with down-to-earth kitchen sense, How to Eat offers up 350 simple, delectable recipes, destined to instill confidence and creativity. It covers cooking basics (from preparing mayonnaise, soup stock, and pastry dough), conundrums (using leftovers, what to put in the freezer, low-fat menus), and cooking for every occasion (weekend lunches, in advance, eating alone or as a pair, or feeding kids), with practical anecdotes and cooking lore. A thoroughly livable approach to building skills and a repertoire of favorites, How to Eat is the best friend any lover of food can introduce to his or her kitchen.

From the Back Cover

'[Nigella] brings you into her life and tells you how she thinks about food, how meals come together in her head. . . and how she cooks for family and friends. . . . A breakthrough. . . with hundreds of appealing and accessible recipes. ' -Amanda Hesser, The New York Times 'Nigella Lawson serves up irony and sensuality with her comforting recipes. . . the Queen of Come-On Cooking. ' -Los Angeles Times 'A chatty, sometimes cheeky, celebration of home-cooked meals. ' -USA Today 'Nigella Lawson is, whisks down, Britain's funniest and sexiest food writer, a raconteur who is delicious whether detailing every step on the way towards a heavenly roast chicken and root vegetable couscous or explaining why 'cooking is not just about joining the dots'. ' -Richard Story, Vogue magazine

4.0 out of 5 stars No pictures!!!!!!, Oct 29 2009
I like Nigella Lawson and love her TV show but if you need pictures to see the results of the recipes, please choose another cookbook of hers because this one has none! Her writting style his fun, but this book is more like a novel including recipes.

5.0 out of 5 stars A groovy new take on classic kitchen tricks!, Jan 12 2004
By Kenneth McDaniel "Urban cocktail-culture magu... (third stone from the sun) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ms. Lawson's seductive nature transfers beautifully to the page in this unusual, yet utilitarian cookbook. Classic, homey dishes are given a new 21st. century spin without losing their basic, innate goodness. The "unpesto" is a favorite of mine, and I am wating asparagus season with much anticipation! Damn the calories, full feed ahead!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Pleasure, Oct 31 2002
By - Kasia S. (New York City) - See all my reviews
Before i cooked anything from this cookbook, i was fascinated that it reads more like a lifestyle manual than a typical cookbook. Reading it i could almost hear Nigella saying the words in my head.
The recipies are fun and well thought of, her Macaronie and Cheese is fabulous, and soo easy! I enjoy laying around the house, sipping tea and reading between the recipies, because that girl has a talent for words. I love this book, she did a great job, as usual.

5.0 out of 5 stars Both fun to read and cook from

1.0 out of 5 stars The Domestic Goddess and her cooking
