“Food, for me, is
a constant pleasure: I like to think greedily about it, reflect deeply on it,
learn from it; it provides comfort, inspiration, meaning, and beauty…More than
just a mantra, ‘cook, eat, repeat’ is the story of my life.”
Cook, Eat, Repeat is a delicious and delightful combination of
recipes intertwined with narrative essays about food, all written in Nigella
Lawson’s engaging and insightful prose. Whether asking “what is a recipe?” or
declaring death to the “guilty pleasure,” Nigella brings her wisdom about food
and life to the fore while sharing new recipes that readers will want to return
to again and again.
Within these chapters are more than a hundred new recipes
for all seasons and tastes from Burnt Onion and Eggplant Dip to Chicken with
Garlic Cream Sauce; from Beef Cheeks with Port and Chestnuts to Ginger and
Beetroot Yogurt Sauce. Those with a sweet tooth will delight in desserts
including Rhubarb and Custard Trifle; Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake; and Cherry
and Almond Crumble.
“The recipes I write come
from my life, my home,” says Nigella, and in Cook, Eat, Repeat she
reveals the rhythms and rituals of her kitchen through recipes that make the
most of her favorite ingredients, with inspiration for family dinners, vegan
feasts, and solo suppers, as well as new ideas for cooking during the holidays.
