Cook, Eat, Repeat

Nigella Lawson

From Shelf: When you can write as well as you can cook this is what happens...!

Food, for me, is a constant pleasure: I like to think greedily about it, reflect deeply on it, learn from it; it ... More than just a mantra, "cook, eat, repeat" is the story of my life.'Cook, Eat, Repeat is a delicious and delightful combination of recipes intertwined with narrative essays about food. Whether asking 'What is a Recipe?' or declaring death to the Guilty Pleasure, Nigella's wisdom about food and life comes to the fore, with tasty new recipes that readers will want to return to again and again.'The recipes I write come from my life, my home', says Nigella, and here she shares the rhythms and rituals of her kitchen through over 150 new recipes that make the most of her favourite ingredients - including Dutch 'appelflappen', Nigella's favourite New Year treat from Amsterdam.Dedicated chapters include 'A is for Anchovy' (a celebration of the bacon of the sea), 'Rhubarb', 'A Loving Defence of Brown Food', a suitably expansive chapter devoted to family dinners, plus inspiration for vegan feasts and solo suppers.**Nigella returns to the BBC in 2023 in Nigella's Amsterdam Christmas Special**'A rapturous account of wonderful food and a joyful antidote to everything else' Meera Sodha, Guardian'I can't think of a better companion for these strange times' Bee Wilson, Sunday Times
