"Her prose is as nourishing as her recipes . . . a book that should please mere readers as well as serious cooks and happy omnivores." —Salman Rushdie, Observer Review "If you could have just one food book this year, make it How to Eat." —Susan Low, Time Out (London) The essential cooking and recipe book for people who love to eat. "Cooking is not about just joining the dots . . . Its about developing an understanding of food, a sense of assurance in the kitchen, about the simple desire to make yourself something to eat. And in cooking . . . you must please yourself to please others." And so Nigella Lawson begins How to Eat. Already a huge success in Britain, How to Eat is a joyous celebration of home-cooked food, simply prepared and presented. She demonstrates how everyone can explore and enjoy the world of food every day—whether its fitting cooking into a busy schedule or improvising with whatever ingredients are on hand. With an easy, conversational style, she shares 350 simple recipes that range from lemon chicken to childrens chocolate mousse. Chapters include meals for one and two, low fat cooking, weekend dining, and cooking for babies and small children. Nigella Lawson (London, UK), a former columnist for Londons Evening Standard and the Times, is a columnist for Talk magazine, a freelance journalist for Vogue magazine, and a broadcaster for two British network television programs.
