Synopsis

“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. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

"I sometimes think that the appetite for recipes, for reading and writing about food and how we cook it, says just as much about our hunger for stories—these little condensed chronicles that say so much—as about our hunger for pleasure and sustenance. In the recipe form, these hungers are fused." I'v......more

Goodreads review by L.C.

Font size a bit small, a bit wordy with lengthy explanations and story telling. Could have been organized better. Recipes are okay, nothing jumped out at me. Will pass the recipe book along.......more

2023: When I saw the audiobook — read by Nigella — was on Hoopla in one hot minute I checked it out. What I discovered was that — for me — this is the perfect antidote to insomnia. Soothing, well-modulated speaking that is interesting and disinteresting simultaneously. Because, yes, she actually rea......more

I love looking at the recipes and the pictures but I especially love the reflective essays Nigella wrote for this book. Sometimes her sheer epicureanism gets a little much, but generally I appreciate her enjoyment. This book, though I appreciate her reflections particularly during a time of uncertai......more
