I’m a home cook with not a great deal of expertise but quite a lot of experience. Although in America, people want to think of me more like an expert, and that slightly unnerves me. “Because you get tabloid baggage wherever you go. Is there any sense of relief when it comes to promoting her books abroad, without that added baggage? “Well, no,” Lawson sighs. “Although my poor neighbor opposite did need to plow her way through quite a lot during recipe testing.” A note to Lawson’s neighbor: If you’re planning a holiday anytime soon, I volunteer to house sit. “I’ve always been someone who’s cooked for myself, but cooking for myself exclusively is a very new experience, and one I’ve really warmed to, actually,” Lawson says. If anything, I felt that more people came around to it over the past year.”Įven when writing recipes for one, Lawson’s unique balance of warm, lyrical meditations on her endless love for food-alongside tried-and-tested recipes, of course-continues unabated throughout her new book.
“Both the title and the project of Cook, Eat, Repeat predate the pandemic, and I had no idea that would become such a pattern. “All my books have been about where I am in my life, because I don’t see how else one writes,” she says. (Remember when that string of words started to feel less like a daily ritual, and more like a primal scream?) Lawson first began plotting the book many months before the pandemic hit, though, and she remembers its origins a little differently. Nigella wants her readers and her viewers to enjoy eating and cooking.The title of Nigella Lawson’s new book, Cook, Eat, Repeat, is enough to transport even the most beleaguered of home cooks straight back to the early months of lockdown. They include Late Breakfasts, Party Food, TV Dinners, Trailer Trash, Big Lunches, Indoor Picnics, and other delights. They're easy to produce after a busy day at the office, fun to linger over at weekends or to make with the kids, delectable to read about, dreamy to look at and delicious to eat. Some recipes are based on her popular Vogue columns, others are new and different, and all are characteristic of Nigella and the ethos of the TV series - uncomplicated, original, fresh, and perfect for the way we live today. Nigella Bites is a must-have for every viewer and all her fans. How to Eat sold spectacularly on the back of the first unheralded 5-part series. Her first short series on Channel 4 had over 2 million viewers and propelled her from success into stardom. Nigella is now not only the best and most glamorous young home cook in Britain, and a great cookery writer, she's also become a household name.
