Descripción editorial
‘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 compendium of ingredients, musings and personal stories from the new judge on the Great British Bake Off. Including over 150 recipes, this is the perfect gift for every foodie in your life.
‘The recipes I write come from my life, my home’, says Nigella, and here she shares the rhythms and rituals of her kitchen and the food that has shaped her tastes.
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 inspiring suggestions that readers will return to again and again.
Dedicated chapters include:
‘A is for Anchovy’: thoughts on ‘the bacon of the sea’
‘Rhubarb’: Pickled or in Custard Trifle – uniquely tasty and always utterly cheering
‘A Loving Defence of Brown Food’: in all shades, Burnt Onion and Aubergine Dip and Short Rib Stew for Two
‘Much Depends on Dinner’: a suitably expansive chapter for family dining, featuring No-Fear Fish Stew and Lasagne of Love
And eating simply for ‘Pleasure’: from No-Knead Bread to Crab Mac n’ Cheese
Plus inspiration for vegan feasts, solo suppers, making ahead, freezing and more.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lawson (At My Table) combines offerings that put a spin on recipes from restaurants, friends, and family, with an insightful take on the importance of cooking in her own life, in this delightful outing. On the food front, she provides a medley of dishes such as cherry and almond crumble; a gluten-free banana bread with chocolate and walnuts (the result of a friend asking for a gluten-free version of her standard recipe); a spaghetti with chard, chiles, and anchovies adapted from the Fitzroy restaurant in Cornwall, England; and the "headily intense" short rib stew she makes at home and spices up with chiles, shallots, and ginger. Perceptive essays appear throughout, among them "A Is for Anchovy," an ode to what Lawson calls "the bacon of the sea"; "A Loving Defence of Brown Food," in which she muses on how, "to the naked eye, brown food is beautiful: rich, warm, and full of depth and subtle variegation"; and "Christmas Comforts," a heartwarming tale of a Covid Christmas ("Some things cannot change: I will never renounce my traditional Christmas lunch menu"). The prose leans toward the formal, but the recipes are cheerful, straightforward, and easy to follow. Lawson's fans are in for a treat.
