​About The Kitchen Book

​’This book is utter magic. I have folded down so many pages: I love the recipes, I love the writing. Her best book yet’ – Dolly Alderton

​‘A modern classic’ – Nicola Lamb

​’Everything about this book is worth it. Frankly, even if you never ever cook, this book is worth it. I love it’ – Nigella Lawson

​Home cooking but make it gorgeous. Make it the thing that improves your day. Make it beautiful, useful and delicious. Make your life just, like, 10% better.

​No-knife potato curry, cumin lamb ragù, turmeric satay salmon, marinated bavette, and kimchi remoulade; breakfast bars, rhubarb and custard, sticky lemon cake, and one-bowl cannelés. This is cooking for real life – the kinds of recipes you will actually make and actually love.

​There are plenty of ideas to get you through the week with minimal faff and maximum reward, whether you’re at your lowest ebb or striving for elegance.

​Roasting a chicken. Planning for the week ahead. Throwing a party (for three or thirty or more). Baking fail-safe cookies (for when failure to have cookies really isn’t an option). The Kitchen Book is your source of wisdom for the 4pm what’s-for-dinner panic, and the definitive answer to ‘Maybe just toast and an early night?’

​These are recipes that will stick with you for life.
