Several successful TV series have made hers a household name around the world.

Lawson's latest book is the one I've been waiting for her to write...Her aim is to empower and demystify and to encourage everyone to get as much pleasure from cooking as she does -- Diana Henry * Daily Telegraph * Interweaves domestic goddess-style recipes with personal musings and guides * Vogue.co.uk * Twenty-two years after her first book, How To Eat, Nigella Lawson has produced what feels like its answer: Cook, Eat, Repeat. * The Times * Nigella's writing is a culinary stream of consciousness that piques the senses and you hear her reassuring voice through her writing... Cook, Eat, Repeat is expansive, practical and enjoyable * Caterer * Cook, Eat, Repeat is a wonderful combination of gastronomical essays, stylish up-to-date imagery and - most importantly - recipes with far-reaching appeal, ticking boxes as both an entertaining read and a practical guide -- Rosie Conroy * Independent * A gloriously comforting book I curled up and read it on the sofa... Nigella describes how and why food is so important and life-enhancing -- Victoria Hislop * Daily Express, *Books of the Year* * The most delicious-sounding ideas... perfect book to hone your cooking skills - and lockdown might provide extra time you need * Sun * Deliciously indulgent food escapes -- Hannah Stephenson * UK Press Syndication * Lawson's engaging tone...makes this an ideal Christmas present in these dark days...

Her latest offering is a classic example * Waitrose Weekend, *Christmas Gift Guide 2020* * A new title from Nigella Lawson is always welcome, but never more so than in the year that drove so many of us back into our kitchens. This book - her greatest since How to Eat in 1998 - is about embracing the idea of cooking as a series of soothing rituals... The dishes here are as comforting as any Nigella fan could wish for, from Basque burnt cheesecake to fish finger bhorta. And above and beyond the recipes, this is a profound and consoling defence of the pleasures of the kitchen.
