TinuTinu: Another example Amazon's quality is going down. It is torn from the inside. Binding is separate from the pages. Never expected such quality for such a price

This book is among the best cookbooks that I have read and used over the years. This is not surprising since it comes from the best and most elegant of British chefs. Nigella is an exemplar of that breed who constantly show high level accomplishment along with skills and creativity. Her writings are classics of communication and purpose. If you want to cook and entertain, or simply provide meals for family, you will do no better than to learn from her cookbooks. Not only that, you will see English prose as it is supposed to be seen and read.
British cooking has long been the subject of scorn from foreign critics and travellers. And yes, some of that view has been deserved. But behind the sour samples and over generalised views commonly put forth by some critics, there can be found a long and interesting history of British regional and historical gems of cuisine. Brits are, after all, a very mixed and sometimes rebellious lot. But then there are the realms of the British pubs, state dinners, professional and academic feasts and banquets. To this can be added countless private family traditions among both the rich and poor.
In this particular book...

Cook, Eat, Repeat . . . . is the way many of us felt — staying at home, cooking all the time, day in and day out. No take out, no restaurants, no family meals or celebrations. Well, during this time, Nigella Lawson was working on her website with some asparagus recipes, and her publisher saw them and thought she should write a book, so she did. Cook, Eat, Repeat, is my new favorite of Nigella's so far. Her children are grown. She was home by herself as she tried the recipes. She made do with what she had on hand, making a meal for herself. There are lots of smaller ingredient lists, and small portions, perfect for a small, tasty meal.
She even tried some gluten free recipes and actually found she liked them better than her traditional way. The taste and texture were far better. A favorite is Gluten-free Banana Bread with Chocolate and Walnuts. The book has excellent photos. The index is coded in color dots for vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free.
A nice addition with each recipe is Make Ahead, How to Store, and How to Freeze Notes for each recipe found at the back of the book.
The best thing about Nigella Lawson, is that she can...

Sharon Cipar: I have all of her cookbooks and I love them! I love reading them. Her tasty blend of flavors (and thematic writing) in any given recipe are delicious because she’s not strictly British. She blends so many spices from her neighbors and the Commonwealth. This collection is no different. It’s a book you will need to sit down with to become friendly, again, as you pick up where you left off last time, like a neighbor coming over for an afternoon tea. Photos are always beautiful (have you ever tried taking a pic of food? it’s not easy) which is keen. If you love adventure, her cookbooks will lead you in wonderful directions. Her books ARE short stories. 5+ stars!!

Nigella Lawson's cookbooks long ago earned the special designation of "pre-order this book as soon as Amazon permits it." I've worn out the spine on some of her cookbooks, several of which fall open to recipes that I've made dozens of times. She has reliable instructions, simple (but not over-simple) recipes that are do-able on a weeknight, and a marvelous bedside manner. Needless to say, I was excited about Cook, Eat, Repeat.
...and I still am, though this cookbook is _different_.
Lawson wrote this cookbook in the throes of the lockdown, when clearly she was cooking primarily for herself. Much of our globally-shared mood comes through, primarily the upbeat, "Well, we shall carry on as best we can!" optimism that cheers me up so much. But she has thoughtful food essays too, including one that is an embrace of "pleasures" over "guilty pleasures," because what's the point of feeling guilty about the things you enjoy and are going to do? There's a sense of comfort-food indulgence in these recipes (because obviously all of us have been needing that), such as her regular family favorites -- the lasagna she always makes for family, for...
