'Cooking is not about just following one recipe slavishly and then moving on to the next. It's about developing an understanding of food, a sense of assurance in the kitchen, about the simple desire to make yourself something to eat.' Hailed by many as their cookbook of 1998, if not the decade. How To Eat is far more than just an imaginative collection of over 350 uncomplicated, delicious recipes. Combining Nigella's refreshingly down-to-earth practicality with a passion for food, you will need two copies of this glorious classic: one for the kitchen, one for the bedside table.
