Unwind and relish Nigella Lawson’s great tasting prose in her 1st, revelatory cookery book, published being a reading model in Classic Classics for the very first time to celebrate two decades of How exactly to Eat.

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JEANETTE WINTERSON

‘How to eat, how to cook, how to write: I’d like two copies of this book, someone to research in your kitchen and someone to read in bed’ Yotam Ottolenghi

When Nigella Lawson’s first reserve, How exactly to Eat, was published in 1998, two things were instantly very clear: that about How To Eat: Vintage Classics Anniversary Model this new and fiercely intelligent voice would revolutionise cookery composing, and that How to Eat was an instant classic of the genre.

Right here was a versatile culinary bible, by which a generation discovered how exactly to feel in the home in the kitchen and found the self-confidence to experiment and adapt recipes with their own needs. This is the book to attain for when hastily organising a last-minute supper with friends, when planning a luxurious weekend lunch or contemplating a store-cupboard food for just one, or when looking to tempt a fussy toddler. This was a publication about home cooking for occupied lives.

The chief revelation was the writing. Rather than group of intimidating instructions, Nigella’s recipes provide inspiration. She has something special for finding the right word to spark the reader’s imagination, evoking the taste from the ingredients, the easy, sensual pleasures of the practical process, the deep incentive from the finished dish. Passionate, trenchant, convivial and wise, Nigella’s prose demands to become savoured, and means that the joy and worth of How to Eat will endure for decades to come.
