Vintage Classics Anniversary Edition

How To Eat

The Pleasures and Principles of Good Food

The Pleasures and Principles of Good Food (Nigella Collection)

A flapped paperback Vintage Classics anniversary edition to celebrate 20 years of How to Eat and cement its true status as a classic, as enjoyable and inspiring as it is practical.

'At its heart, a deeply practical yet joyously readable book...you are all set to head off to the kitchen and have a truly glorious time' Nigel Slater, Guardian 
 
Revisit and discover the sensational first cook book from Nigella Lawson. 
 
When Nigella Lawson's first book, How to Eat, was published in 1998, two things were immediately clear: that this fresh and fiercely intelligent voice would revolutionise cookery writing, and that How to Eat was an instant classic of the genre. 
 
Here was a versatile culinary bible, through which a generation discovered how to feel at home in the kitchen and found the confidence to experiment and adapt recipes to their own needs. This was the book to reach for when hastily organising a last-minute supper with friends, when planning a luxurious weekend lunch or contemplating a store-cupboard meal for one, or when trying to tempt a fussy toddler. 
 
This was a book about home cooking for busy lives.

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JEANETTE WINTERSON

Described by renowned chefs and critics across the globe as one of the best cookery books ever written. It’s your favourite cook’s favourite cookbook, filled with Lawson’s signature witty writing, and a veritable passion for food which radiates from every page

Evening Standard, *12 of the Best British Cookbooks of All Time*

What sets her apart from every other food writer is her empathy with working women and her realism

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.

A masterclass in food writing – one glance shows how good she really is

Miss Lawson is the Thinking Person’s Cook. She tells stories, she explains why things must be the way she says they must be... enlightenment and sensual pleasure

I love Nigella Lawson’s writing and I love her recipes

Her prose is as nourishing as her recipes

Nigella Lawson is one of the best and most influential of British food writers

Ruth Rogers, co-author of The River Café Cookbook

The domestic bible for the millennium generation

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'

I’m inspired by Nigella Lawson’s How to Eat… It’s about a lifestyle and an attitude

[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

How to Eat is suffused with the idea that eating a good meal – together, with another, or on your own – is healing and renewing, no matter how simple the meal, no matter how difficult the circumstances

Two decades on, the task of trusting our own palates to tell us what to eat has become more complicated than ever… There has never been a better time to return to the sanity of this book and its call to come to our senses in the kitchen

Only one [cookbook] among my collection could be described as a true friend

This is a book to reach for when hastily organising a last-minute dinner with friends; contemplating a store-cupboard meal for one; trying to tempt a fussy toddler; or when planning a leisurely weekend lunch, when you have nothing to do but stir a pot… Nigella's back catalogue has steered us through many a social situation

The recipes are stories as much as instructions… while there are ingredients lists, the words run on like a well-ordered stream of consciousness

This is a book to be read cover to cover, like a novel. Buy yourself two copies: one for reading and one for use in the kitchen

'At its heart, a deeply practical yet joyously readable book...you are all set to head off to the kitchen and have a truly glorious time' Nigel Slater, Guardian

This was a book about home cooking for busy lives. 
 
The chief revelation was the writing. Rather than a set of intimidating instructions, Nigella's recipes provide inspiration. She has a gift for finding the right words to spark the reader's imagination, evoking the taste of the ingredients, the simple, sensual pleasures of the practical process, the deep reward of the finished dish. Passionate, trenchant, convivial and wise, Nigella's prose demands to be savoured, and ensures that the joy and value of How to Eat will endure for decades to come.

'I'd happily cook from this book every night' Bee Wilson 
 
'Bursting with what will be instant Nigella classics' Good Housekeeping

Nigella is the voice of reason in the food madness that surrounds us

Lawson’s genius is in offering dishes that you want to cook immediately (and that you know she cooks all the time – the recipes just read that way), in the most elegant prose. A gal who writes better than Elizabeth David and can tell you what to eat on a Friday night in front of the telly? That’s my kind of food writer

This book is packed with ideas for meals that can be easily rustled up from what you have in the fridge or find in your local food shop. Despite the simplicity, though, each recipe features a unique Nigella twist

Nigella Lawson provides a selection of recipes that will inspire even the most jaded cook to try something new

While her last cookbook, Simply Nigella, favoured a pared-back cooking style, her latest, At My Table, is bursting with what will be instant Nigella classics – not to mention encouraging late-night visits to the fridge for leftovers. This is a book for those who see food as sheer pleasure

Nigella Lawson's new book, At My Table, is a celebration of home cooking. This is fitting because more than any other food writer these days, Nigella is the real deal - a proud home cook, definitely not a chef. And while so many cookbooks sell a story of happy gatherings of friends and family, I don't think I am alone in thinking that perhaps some of these authors may be talking the talk, rather than walking the walk. The stories often just don't ring true. You just know from reading one of Nigella's books that she has a real life with food, rather than one made to look pretty for an Instagram feed, all style and no substance… For Nigella, around the table is where these three things meet and when we invite people to sit at our table and eat the food that we've made for them, we are weaving memories amid assertions of love, friendship, hospitality and hope.

As ever, Nigella provides inspiration for that important, everyday question ‘What are we going to eat?’ with simple flavour-packed recipes and shortcuts that make life easier without sacrificing taste

Her latest book, At My Table, takes home cooking as its subject and is filled with everyday recipes that will make you want to hole up in the kitchen and invite your whole family round to eat, drink and fall asleep on the sofa together… The woman is a culinary legend, her books are fully deserving of their cult status and her food is the kind that feeds you pure love and added lashings of deliciousness

The recipes are varied and delicious, served up with engaging personal stories and stunning photography… There is much to enjoy, especially if you have the confidence to adapt and simplify

Cook-me-now recipes seasoned with her trademark warm intelligence are the name of the game in Nigella’s latest. A must for the bookshelf

The latest book by the Domestic Goddess features simple yet indulgent recipes that will soon become go-tos…. As ever, recipes are easy to follow and include plenty of reassuring advice. And even if you don’t decide to cook anything, you’ll still be entertained by Nigella’s characteristically witty prose

This is a relaxed and inviting selection of recipes, organised with no chapter breaks, to signify, as Lawson explains, "the honest jumble of life".

Nigella, as we know, is master of the art of pootling in the kitchen. I dream of having a free weekend to spend pootling, and I would buy this book for precisely that.

At My Table is an instantly lovable collection of recipes that are simple, accessible and unfailingly delicious.

No one is better at reminding us that cooking is about eating and eating is about sharing.

An alluring reminder of what a fine recipe writer – indeed, writer – she is.

The domestic goddess’s latest book is a wonderful reflection of contemporary British food – a mouthwatering melting pot of flavours and influences that give rise to sprouts with preserved lemon and pomegranate, and slow roast five-spice lamb with Chinese pancakes. There are also anecdotes and advice, delivered in her usual pally fashion.

Nigella Lawson has written eleven bestselling cookery books including the classics How to Eat and How To Be A Domestic Goddess - the book that inspired a whole new generation of bakers. These books, and her TV series, have made her a household name around the world.

‘I love Nigella Lawson’s writing and I love her recipes’ – Delia Smith 
 
‘There’s an intelligence to the way she writes and she expects a certain intelligence of her readers as well’ – Nigel Slater 
 
“I am unapologetic about being a home cook rather than a chef. 
 
Real cooking, the sort that goes on in homes, does not have to be tricksy or difficult. A dish of chicken poached with leeks and carrots definitely isn’t fancy. But it tastes good, and feels essentially nourishing, to both body and soul, to cook and eat. 
 
I want you to feel that I’m there with you, in the kitchen, as you cook. My books are the conversations we might be having.” 
 
Nigella Lawson has written nine bestselling cookery books, including the classics How To Eat and How to Be A Domestic Goddess – the book that launched a thousand cupcakes.

Nigella Lawson

Lawson's latest book is the one I've been waiting for her to write...Her aim is to empower and demystify and to encourage everyone to get as much pleasure from cooking as she does

Interweaves domestic goddess-style recipes with personal musings and guides

Twenty-two years after her first book, How To Eat, Nigella Lawson has produced what feels like its answer: Cook, Eat, Repeat.

Nigella's writing is a culinary stream of consciousness that piques the senses and you hear her reassuring voice through her writing... Cook, Eat, Repeat is expansive, practical and enjoyable

Cook, Eat, Repeat is a wonderful combination of gastronomical essays, stylish up-to-date imagery and - most importantly - recipes with far-reaching appeal, ticking boxes as both an entertaining read and a practical guide

A gloriously comforting book I curled up and read it on the sofa... Nigella describes how and why food is so important and life-enhancing

The most delicious-sounding ideas... [and the] perfect book to hone your cooking skills - and lockdown might provide extra time you need

Lawson's engaging tone...makes this an ideal Christmas present in these dark days... Just now there may be little we can do but cook, eat, repeat, but Lawson shows us this can and should be pleasurably ritualistic rather than monotonous

Cook, Eat, Repeat recipes are hits...written about in a lyrical style that inspires you to cook

Few cookery writers write so beautifully, imbuing their recipes with such a sense of narrative, culinary enthusiasm and human understanding... [The] recognition of the personal nature of cooking, and the connections it involves, strikes at the heart of her appeal

No one blends tempting recipes and thoughtful digression on the subject of food with quite the same easy grace as Nigella. Her latest offering is a classic example

Waitrose Weekend, *Christmas Gift Guide 2020*

A new title from Nigella Lawson is always welcome, but never more so than in the year that drove so many of us back into our kitchens. This book - her greatest since How to Eat in 1998 - is about embracing the idea of cooking as a series of soothing rituals... The dishes here are as comforting as any Nigella fan could wish for, from Basque burnt cheesecake to fish finger bhorta. And above and beyond the recipes, this is a profound and consoling defence of the pleasures of the kitchen. I can't think of a better companion for these strange times

A rapturous account of wonderful food and a joyful antidote to everything else

The recipes...are dazzling and the prose that surrounds them is like the hug we've been waiting for all year

Every page crackles with the sheer pleasure of cooking and eating, in whatever way you choose, and there is no finer quality in a cookbook than that

This book is testament to the fact that Nigella is as much a writer as a cook, and it will surely be on every Christmas list this year

Culture Whisper, *Christmas Gift Guide 2020*

Written in her [Lawson's] inimitable warm and conversational style, it's [Cook, Eat, Repeat] an electric mix

A stunning variety of recipes in this year's cookbook collection', mention: 'A delicious and delightful combination of recipes intertwined with narrative essays about food, all written in Nigella's engaging and insightful prose

Thrilling... A wise, digressive celebration of the life-affirming pleasures of eating that sparkles with descriptive sentences that are just as delectable as dishes that cover everything from crab mac'n'cheese to sweet and salty chocolate cookies specifically designed not to be shared... Nigella's latest book -- through its wisdom, wit and urge to bring joy -- has the knack of making an uncertain future feel that little bit more bearable

Cook, Eat, Repeat is an informative, intelligent, thought-provoking and amusing book. Surely the combination of her delicious recipes and delicious words is a dream come true

There's not a cook in the country who won't be licking their lips in anticipation

UK Press Syndication, *Christmas Gift Guide 2020*

Wonderful... Its real strength is that Nigella is such a pleasure to read

A delicious and delightful combination of recipes intertwined with narrative essays about food, all written in the cook's engaging and insightful prose
