How to Eat

Nigella Lawson's first cookbook--a ground-breaking classic that helped define the way we eat--and a joyous celebration of home-cooked food, simply prepared and presented

For Nigella Lawson, great food is not about cooking, but about eating. In her warm, inviting, and inimitable first cookbook, How to Eat, she demonstrates how anyone can explore and savor the world of good food every day - whether it's fitting cooking into a busy schedule or improvising with whatever ingredients are on hand.

Lawson's easy, conversational style makes her the perfect kitchen companion as she shares 350 delicious yet doable recipes that range from Tarragon French Roast Chicken to Chocolate Raspberry Pudding Cake. Accessible and easy to adjust to suit different tastes and occasions, these are recipes that will become household favorites.

Rather than a set of intimidating instructions, Nigella's recipes provide inspiration. She has a gift for finding the right word to spark the reader's imagination, evoking the taste of the ingredients, the simple, sensual pleasures of the practical process, and the deep reward of the finished dish.

An indispensable cookbook filled with wit and charm, as winning and filled with insight as when it was first published, How to Eat will spark a lively rediscovery of eating and enjoying food.
