Cook, Eat, Repeat

It's here! Browse the 2024 Penguin Christmas gift guide

Lawson's latest book is the one I've been waiting for her to write...Her aim is to empower and demystify and to encourage everyone to get as much pleasure from cooking as she does

Interweaves domestic goddess-style recipes with personal musings and guides

Twenty-two years after her first book, How To Eat, Nigella Lawson has produced what feels like its answer: Cook, Eat, Repeat.

Nigella's writing is a culinary stream of consciousness that piques the senses and you hear her reassuring voice through her writing... Cook, Eat, Repeat is expansive, practical and enjoyable

Cook, Eat, Repeat is a wonderful combination of gastronomical essays, stylish up-to-date imagery and - most importantly - recipes with far-reaching appeal, ticking boxes as both an entertaining read and a practical guide

A gloriously comforting book I curled up and read it on the sofa... Nigella describes how and why food is so important and life-enhancing

The most delicious-sounding ideas... [and the] perfect book to hone your cooking skills - and lockdown might provide extra time you need

Lawson's engaging tone...makes this an ideal Christmas present in these dark days... Just now there may be little we can do but cook, eat, repeat, but Lawson shows us this can and should be pleasurably ritualistic rather than monotonous

Cook, Eat, Repeat recipes are hits...written about in a lyrical style that inspires you to cook

Few cookery writers write so beautifully, imbuing their recipes with such a sense of narrative, culinary enthusiasm and human understanding... [The] recognition of the personal nature of cooking, and the connections it involves, strikes at the heart of her appeal

No one blends tempting recipes and thoughtful digression on the subject of food with quite the same easy grace as Nigella. Her latest offering is a classic example

Waitrose Weekend, *Christmas Gift Guide 2020*

A new title from Nigella Lawson is always welcome, but never more so than in the year that drove so many of us back into our kitchens. This book - her greatest since How to Eat in 1998 - is about embracing the idea of cooking as a series of soothing rituals... The dishes here are as comforting as any Nigella fan could wish for, from Basque burnt cheesecake to fish finger bhorta. And above and beyond the recipes, this is a profound and consoling defence of the pleasures of the kitchen. I can't think of a better companion for these strange times

A rapturous account of wonderful food and a joyful antidote to everything else

The recipes...are dazzling and the prose that surrounds them is like the hug we've been waiting for all year

Every page crackles with the sheer pleasure of cooking and eating, in whatever way you choose, and there is no finer quality in a cookbook than that

This book is testament to the fact that Nigella is as much a writer as a cook, and it will surely be on every Christmas list this year

Culture Whisper, *Christmas Gift Guide 2020*

Written in her [Lawson's] inimitable warm and conversational style, it's [Cook, Eat, Repeat] an electric mix

A stunning variety of recipes in this year's cookbook collection', mention: 'A delicious and delightful combination of recipes intertwined with narrative essays about food, all written in Nigella's engaging and insightful prose

Thrilling... A wise, digressive celebration of the life-affirming pleasures of eating that sparkles with descriptive sentences that are just as delectable as dishes that cover everything from crab mac'n'cheese to sweet and salty chocolate cookies specifically designed not to be shared... Nigella's latest book -- through its wisdom, wit and urge to bring joy -- has the knack of making an uncertain future feel that little bit more bearable

Cook, Eat, Repeat is an informative, intelligent, thought-provoking and amusing book. Surely the combination of her delicious recipes and delicious words is a dream come true

There's not a cook in the country who won't be licking their lips in anticipation

UK Press Syndication, *Christmas Gift Guide 2020*

Wonderful... Its real strength is that Nigella is such a pleasure to read

A delicious and delightful combination of recipes intertwined with narrative essays about food, all written in the cook's engaging and insightful prose

There is everything you want from a cookbook - brilliant recipes, a little bit of humour and, most importantly, a lot of comfort

Beautifully written... A must for domestic goddesses
