"Lawson?s book ranks with the great cookbooks of the last fifty or so years?books that define the way we eat and prepare and think about food at a certain point in time and go on to become indispensable guides for a whole generation of home cooks. Her style is confident and relaxed and her advice is studded with good sense and wit." —Jonathan Burnham, Editor-in-Chief and President, Talk Miramax Books
"This book shouldn?t be called How to Eat, but How to Live!" —Candice Bergen

And so Nigella Lawson begins How to Eat. Already a huge success in Britain, How to Eat is a joyous celebration of home-cooked food, simply prepared and presented. For Nigella Lawson, great food is not about cooking, but about eating. She demonstrates how everyone can explore and savor the world of food every day–whether it’s fitting cooking into a busy schedule or improvising with whatever ingredients are on hand.
Her easy, conversational style makes you feel as if she’s right there in the kitchen with you as she shares 350 delicious yet simple recipes that range from Tarragon French Roast Chicken to Chocolate Raspberry Pudding Cake. This is food to be made and enjoyed in real life, not just in the picture-perfect pages of a magazine. And that’s why all of the menus are set up so everything is ready to serve at the same time. Nigella Lawson orchestrates every single food preparation detail for you–from coordinating the oven settings and preparation timing for every dish to suggesting the perfect wine to accompany the meal served at your next dinner party. All of the recipes are accessible and, with short lists of ingredients, easy to adjust to suit different tastes and occasions.
Best of all, Nigella Lawson understands that the kitchen isn’t always an oasis of tranquility. Her world is the real world: where children are waiting to be fed, where unexpected guests arrive on the doorstep at dinnertime, where you run out of that key ingredient just after the stores close. From practical tips on advance preparation to great leftover ideas, she shows how to get the most from the pantry and the refrigerator as you move beyond recipes to develop your own sense of what food is about.
Chapters are organized around lifestyle, and include meals for one and two people, low-fat cooking, weekend dining, and cooking for babies and small children.
Whether used in the kitchen or read like a good novel, this book will spark a joyful rediscovery of eating and really enjoying food–and its preparation–as a wonderful part of your everyday life.
