Nigella Lawson's How To Eat: The Pleasures and Principles of Good Food
In 2008, fellow blogger Amy from Americana Kitchen wrote the following about this, her favorite cookbook, on a page on another blog:
"While I love absolutely anything Nigella Lawson, if I were limited to a single favorite cookbook I'd choose her first book called How to Eat. I like to think of it as a modern alternative to the Joy of Cooking. Almost all of the information Nigella gives is practical and useful in a modern kitchen (Ms. Rombauer, I don't think I'll ever need to know how to skin a squirrel; at least, I hope I won't), and the personal stories and funny tidbits make the cookbook great reading as well.
True, if you want glossy food porn pictures, one of Nigella's later cookbooks will be your best bet, but for classic cooking, How to Eat will tell you everything you need to know to do just that: eat."
If you're reading this, Amy, be sure to let me know where you are working online now.
Meanwhile, readers, you can check out Nigella's How to Eat cookbook here on Amazon.
See you in the kitchen!
