Cook, Eat, Repeat: Ingredients, Recipes and Stories

Product Information

Food, for me, is a constant pleasure: I like to think greedily about it, reflect deeply on it, learn from it; it . Dedicated chapters include ‘A is for Anchovy’ (a celebration of the bacon of the sea), ‘Rhubarb’, ‘A Loving Defence of Brown Food’, a suitably expansive chapter devoted to family dinners, plus inspiration for vegan feasts, solo suppers and new ideas for Christmas. And it is this; no one should feel guilty about what they eat, or the pleasure they get from eating; the only thing to feel guilty about (and even then I don’t recommend it) is the failure to be grateful for that pleasure. I’m glad she included those mentions because it adds a pathos to the book that wouldn’t otherwise be there.

There are far fewer British classics here, although you will find some - particularly in the chapter on ‘A Loving Defence of Brown Food’ (one of my favourites). Lots of reflective food writing, too - this is a dense, warm, flavoursome casserole of a book, just right for dipping into as the year turns, the days grow colder and we look forward to hearty meals and Christmas celebrations.

The second thing: the similarities between this book and How to Eat also show up how much food styles and ingredients - and Nigella’s own preferences - have changed in the past two decades. Myslím, že som ju prvýkrát objavil v desiatich (už to presne neviem, pamäť je zradná pavučina); vtedy som sedel pred telkou, pozorujúc jej ladné pohyby v kuchyni.

Cook, eat, repeat is a delicious and delightful combination of recipes intertwined with narrative essays about food, all written in Nigella’s engaging and insightful prose. I love looking at the recipes and the pictures but I especially love the reflective essays Nigella wrote for this book.

There is so much around us that we cannot control, but food gives shape to our pleasures and offers both immersion and escape. I have her encyclopaedia of food and from that I learned that the dried up anchovy generally used in this country are very different to the carefully prepared and more expensive delicacy favoured by chefs. Počas čítania 'Cook,Eat, Repeat' sa ma miestami chytal pocit nostalgie, zdrapil ma za golier a preniesol v čase: opäť som bol v babkinej kuchyni, sedel som na sedačke a miešal vajce s cukrom, len aby sme doň o chvíľu na to pridali múku a kypriaci prášok a pozerali sa na alchýmiu v rúre.

Cook, Eat, Repeat is a delicious and delightful combination of recipes intertwined with narrative essays about food, all written in Nigella's engaging and insightful prose.

No, it’s not your regular recipe/cookery book of recipe, photo, recipe , photo repeat which has a place and we all enjoy them.

no one should feel guilty about what they eat, or the pleasure they get from eating; the only thing to feel guilty about (and even then I don’t recommend it) is the failure to be grateful for that pleasure. This book - her greatest since How to Eat in 1998 - is about embracing the idea of cooking as a series of soothing rituals. Two things: in terms of food writing, this cookbook reminds me most of her very first cookbook How to Eat, published in 1998.

Honestly I approached this more as a lovely selection of food writing than as something I'm necessarily going to be cooking from cover to cover.
