Description
Rediscover Nigella's classic food bible this Christmas.
'Cooking is not just about joining the dots, following one recipe slavishly and then moving on to the next. In cooking, as in writing, you must please yourself to please others.'
Hailed by chefs, reviewers, cookery writers and millions of home cooks worldwide as one of the best cookery books ever written, How To Eat is more than just an imaginative collection of over 350 delicious, simple recipes. Combining Nigella's down-to-earth, practical cookery advice with a passion for food and a friendly, chatty style, you will need two copies of this glorious classic: one for the kitchen, one for the bedside table.
This is Nigel Slater's all-time favourite cookbook: "If I could only keep one cookbook, this would be it. How To Eat suits the way I cook. It is as if Nigella is sitting on a stool next to me in the kitchen as I'm cooking ... With every page you know she loves this stuff, and she wants you to love it too. It's a very, very special book for me. My own copy is falling apart."
With gloriously witty food writing, easy recipes, basic cooking tips and a beautiful hardback design, this is a book you will treasure for many years as well as a delicious gift for friends and family.
Basics - from easy bread recipes and basic roast chicken to sauce ingredients and seasonal foods
Cooking in advance - slow cooking, marinades and stress-free, easy recipes
One and two - cooking for one and meals for two people, from the practical to the romantic
Fast food - easy recipes and quick meal ideas
Weekend lunch - Saturday and Sunday lunch menus, for entertaining friends and family meals
Dinner - complete dinner menus for any occasion, from an elegant dinner party to a simple supper
Low Fat - healthy recipes and low-fat meals that still burst with flavour
Feeding babies and small children - weaning recipes, easy family meals and dishes to tempt that fussy eater.
Nigella Collection: a vibrant new look for Nigella's classic cookery books.

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 Café 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 *
A love letter to all things culinary * Tatler *
The one book you have to buy this year * Daily Mail *
The domestic bible for the millennium generation * Spectator *
If you could have just one food book this year, make it How To Eat * Time Out *
My book of the decade... I love this book: its prose, its intelligence and, above all, its workable, soul-warming recipes * Nigel Slater *
