Cook, Eat, Repeat: Ingredients, Recipes and Stories

Product Information

Nigella mi ukázala, ako k jedlu pristupovať, ako počúvať rytmus kuchyne a ako sa postupne naučiť hovoriť týmto jazykom. joyous, gorgeous, glorious, lavish, spectacular, expansive, celebratory, unrestrained, blissful, spirit-lifting. but from deep within the cacophonous orchestra of my mind, the woodwind section starts up a searing wail, the cellos come in with their melancholy sob, only giving way to the brass section to end with the wah wah wah waah of the sad trombone.

Nigella študovala literatúru a jazyky na Oxforde a jej "lingvistické ja" je v tejto knihe značne cítiť. This is a book to enjoy as a recipe finder -head to the index if that’s what you instantly want but if you want to escape and rethink your attitude or ideas towards different food types( I love anchovies so that chapter just enhanced my pleasure) and rhubarb or mealtimes and edible pleasures then this book is for you. Napriek strate troch blízkych ľudí (jej mama, manžel a sestra zomreli na leukémiu), násilníckom druhom manželovi a problémom s užitím drog, sa dokázala postaviť na nohy a vybudovať si meno.I like cooking and over many decades, I’ve tried to understand ingredients and food from numerous different cultures. As a vegetarian I think there is a good level of both meaty recipes, which I can admire but won't be cooking, vegetarian and vegan. Some of the recipes seem recycled ideas or borrowing from others (which is fine)- marzipan loaf, the banana and tahini bread, the NYT loaf, another lemon and almond cake- and overall an esoteric collection of ingredients that normally I would default as an 'Ottolenghi' move: marrowbone, celeriac, a lot of chestnuts. 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. Be patient, lift up and swirl the pan often and monitor it closely; as Tammy almost sang, Stand By Your Pan.

She has had two series of 'Nigella Bites' in 1999-2001, plus a 2001 Christmas special, and 'Forever Summer with Nigella' in 2002, both of which yielded accompanying recipe books. No one blends tempting recipes and thoughtful digression on the subject of food with quite the same easy grace as Nigella. Yes, of course, it [cooking] can be drudgery and it can be draining, but it is also a way to make a substantive difference to the emotional temperature of the days. From the back cover of my copy (also the closing paragraph to the INTRODUCTION) alongside the only photo of Nigella:📝 ‘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 as well as sustenance and structure.While I don't mind a good food book (with or without recipes) I was more wanting to read through a more regular cookbook to get new recipe ideas. I can at the end of all this, however, recommend the black forest brownies and the spiced bulgur wheat.

It is important to spend time with Nigella as each recipe is rich with detail and sentences as beautiful as the food on the opposite page. I don’t necessarily but Nigella Lawson cookbooks for their recipes, though her recipes are very good. There are chapters about specific ingredients and chapters about types of food with LOTS of writing around and in between. These cookies help provide information on metrics the number of visitors, bounce rate, traffic source, etc.

Although there are standardly formatted recipes, there are far, far more suggestions of how recipes can be altered or modified or mixed and matched.

A whole big bunch of rich and yummy comfort foods - Lawson takes real pleasure in describing her recipes and just going elbows-deep into cooking, without a fret or a care.

Some are quite easily adaptable as well - the fish finger bhorta, for example, which I make with quorn fishless fingers and wouldn't want to go without!
