Her life, very different from mine, has afforded her the opportunity to travel and experience food in a way I have not and never will.

Nigella študovala literatúru a jazyky na Oxforde a jej "lingvistické ja" je v tejto knihe značne cítiť. We all have to move on, but I can't help but feel it is the TV programme that is going to sell this title. Her love of food and cooking is abundantly clear, but she also has an air of the ridiculous over her, leaning into the projected image of her being some kind of sensual queen of the kitchen. Following slots as a culinary sidekick on Nigel Slater's 'Real Food Show' on Channel 4, she has fronted three eponymous TV cookery series broadcast in the UK on the channel.A whole big bunch of rich and yummy comfort foods - Lawson takes real pleasure in describing her recipes and just going elbows-deep into cooking, without a fret or a care. I have yet to cook much from this book, but it deserves a five-star rating as a collection of essays in any case. But since I don’t have that, I’m glad Nigella Lawson does and that she’s willing to share it with me through these recipes and essays. Whilst this book is packed with recipes, if you’re looking for a traditional cookery book, this probably won’t fit the bill. Dedicated chapters include ‘A is for Anchovy’ (a celebration of the bacon of the sea), ‘Rhubarb’, ‘A Loving Defence of Brown Food’, a suitably expansive chapter devoted to family dinners, plus inspiration for vegan feasts, solo suppers and new ideas for Christmas.

She celebrates brown food, especially stews, believes a good dinner can take the edge off a bad day, and wants Christmas to be all about the comfort of traditions and rituals. When Lawson says 'Cook, Eat Repeat is the rhythm of my life', it's an invitation for you to dance in the everyday, too.
