Summary

"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’. To paraphrase Cole Porter, How to Eat: The Pleasures and Principles of Good Food is the real turtle soup, not merely the mock." —Richard Story, Vogue magazine

"Lawson’s book ranks with the great cookbooks of the last fifty or so years–books that define the way we eat and prepare and think about food at a certain point in time and go on to become indispensable guides for a whole generation of home cooks. Her style is confident and relaxed and her advice is studded with good sense and wit." —Jonathan Burnham, Editor-in-Chief and President, Talk Miramax Books

"This book shouldn’t be called How to Eat, but How to Live!" —Candice Bergen
