Summary: A cookbook that doesn't belong just in the kitchen
Comment: I have a special shelf for cookbooks in my living room...right next to the kitchen, as should be. For some reason, "How to eat" by Nigella Lawson, has been lying around the floor in my bedroom, or on the sofa in the living room, or wherever else apart from the kitchen, for the last couple of years since I bought it. What I'm trying to say is that this book is not just a simple cookbook, but more a description of the pleasure of good eating, & of preparing good food for yourself & for people you love.
On the other hand, the actual recipes (at least the ones I've tried so far, which are quite a few) seem to work, even from the first time you try them. I mention this because I've heard & read all sorts of comments about whether N.Lawson's recipes work or not. Maybe this is because Nigella Lawson has become a celebrity in England--imagine: she writes well, cooks well, & to top all that, she's beautiful too! How can you beat that? This is why 2 camps seem to have emerged--a "pro-Nigella" camp & an "anti-Nigella" camp!! This is all ridiculous, of course. The point is that Nigella Lawson has written, at least in my opinion, one of the best cookbooks of recent years. Down to earth, with good & long-winded explanations, written in a direct, friendly style, with such love for good food that even reading the book makes you want to rush to the kitchen & start creating a feast. "How to eat" is about comfort-eating at its best, & for me at least, it serves as comfort-reading too...

Summary: My number one all-time cookbook
Comment: I bought this several years ago - before the current Nigella "it girl" phase (which I find more than vaguely annoying), and this cookbook gets far more use than anything else I own. This remains true despite the fact that I a) don't eat a lot of red meat and b) don't go in for rich desserts - both of which abound in her books. However, her writing is so compelling, and her recipes are so clear and inevitably successful that cooking one of her recipes is more like a warm chat with an old friend than effortful kitchen work. The measurements are for the most part forgiving, her style relaxed, and the focus of the book truly is on "how to eat" - not "how to make high-style restaurant food".
Winners: spiced prunes with barbados cream; Anna's chickpea and pasta soup; beef braised in beer; cod with parma ham over lentils; pasta carbonara; cinnamon-hot rack of lamb... All of these I make on a regular basis, and they always turn out amazingly well.
Plus, it's a great read. What more could you want!
