Nigella Lawson is unapologetic about being a home cook rather than a chef. She believes real cooking, the sort that goes on in homes, does not have to be tricksy or difficult. A dish of chicken poached with leeks and carrots may not be fancy, but it tastes good and feels essentially nourishing, to both body and soul, to cook and eat.

She wants readers to feel that she is there with them in the kitchen as they cook. Her books are the conversations they might be having.

Nigella has written nine bestselling cookery books, including the classics How To Eat and How To Be A Domestic Goddess – the book that launched a thousand cupcakes. Her books, her TV series and her Quick Collection apps have made her a household name around the world. In 2014 she was voted Best Food Personality at the Observer Food Monthly Awards.

“There’s an intelligence to the way she writes and she expects a certain intelligence of her readers as well.” - Nigel Slater

“Her prose is as nourishing as her recipes.” - Salman Rushdie, Observer

“Miss Lawson is the Thinking Person’s Cook. She tells stories, she explains why things must be the way she says they must be… enlightenment and sensual pleasure.” - Jeanette Winterson, The Times
