'I'd happily cook from this book every night' Bee Wilson
'Bursting with what will be instant Nigella classics' Good Housekeeping
Nigella is the voice of reason in the food madness that surrounds us
—— Katy McGuinness , Irish IndependentLawson’s genius is in offering dishes that you want to cook immediately (and that you know she cooks all the time – the recipes just read that way), in the most elegant prose. A gal who writes better than Elizabeth David and can tell you what to eat on a Friday night in front of the telly? That’s my kind of food writer
—— Diana Henry , Daily TelegraphThis book is packed with ideas for meals that can be easily rustled up from what you have in the fridge or find in your local food shop. Despite the simplicity, though, each recipe features a unique Nigella twist
—— Bianca Barratt , Evening StandardNigella Lawson provides a selection of recipes that will inspire even the most jaded cook to try something new
—— BooksellerWhile her last cookbook, Simply Nigella, favoured a pared-back cooking style, her latest, At My Table, is bursting with what will be instant Nigella classics – not to mention encouraging late-night visits to the fridge for leftovers. This is a book for those who see food as sheer pleasure
—— Jessica Callan , Good HousekeepingNigella Lawson's new book, At My Table, is a celebration of home cooking. This is fitting because more than any other food writer these days, Nigella is the real deal - a proud home cook, definitely not a chef. And while so many cookbooks sell a story of happy gatherings of friends and family, I don't think I am alone in thinking that perhaps some of these authors may be talking the talk, rather than walking the walk. The stories often just don't ring true. You just know from reading one of Nigella's books that she has a real life with food, rather than one made to look pretty for an Instagram feed, all style and no substance… For Nigella, around the table is where these three things meet and when we invite people to sit at our table and eat the food that we've made for them, we are weaving memories amid assertions of love, friendship, hospitality and hope.
—— Katy McGuinness , Irish IndependentAs ever, Nigella provides inspiration for that important, everyday question ‘What are we going to eat?’ with simple flavour-packed recipes and shortcuts that make life easier without sacrificing taste
—— BBC Good Food MagazineHer latest book, At My Table, takes home cooking as its subject and is filled with everyday recipes that will make you want to hole up in the kitchen and invite your whole family round to eat, drink and fall asleep on the sofa together… The woman is a culinary legend, her books are fully deserving of their cult status and her food is the kind that feeds you pure love and added lashings of deliciousness
—— Ella Walker , Belfast Telegraph MorningThe recipes are varied and delicious, served up with engaging personal stories and stunning photography… There is much to enjoy, especially if you have the confidence to adapt and simplify
—— Juanita Coulson , LadyCook-me-now recipes seasoned with her trademark warm intelligence are the name of the game in Nigella’s latest. A must for the bookshelf
—— DeliciousThe latest book by the Domestic Goddess features simple yet indulgent recipes that will soon become go-tos…. As ever, recipes are easy to follow and include plenty of reassuring advice. And even if you don’t decide to cook anything, you’ll still be entertained by Nigella’s characteristically witty prose
—— Rhian Williams , IndependentThis is a relaxed and inviting selection of recipes, organised with no chapter breaks, to signify, as Lawson explains, "the honest jumble of life".
—— Bee Wilson , GuardianNigella, as we know, is master of the art of pootling in the kitchen. I dream of having a free weekend to spend pootling, and I would buy this book for precisely that.
—— Lucy Dunn , The PoolAt My Table is an instantly lovable collection of recipes that are simple, accessible and unfailingly delicious.
—— Waitrose Food , Ashleigh ArnottNo one is better at reminding us that cooking is about eating and eating is about sharing.
—— Julia Platt Leonard , IndependentAn alluring reminder of what a fine recipe writer – indeed, writer – she is.
—— The ObserverThe domestic goddess’s latest book is a wonderful reflection of contemporary British food – a mouthwatering melting pot of flavours and influences that give rise to sprouts with preserved lemon and pomegranate, and slow roast five-spice lamb with Chinese pancakes. There are also anecdotes and advice, delivered in her usual pally fashion.
—— Claire Coleman , MetroAn exceptional and beautifully written book about how love - changed but yet unchanged - friendship, frustration, deep despair and delight, can all be experienced in the same day...If you buy one book this summer, make it this one
—— Irish TimesAbsolutely brilliant… I highly recommend it – inspirational
—— Sean O'Rourke , Today with Sean O'RourkeUplifting and inspiring
—— Woman & HomeAs poetic as it is devastating
—— iLike the sea, the writing in this terrific debut is both bracing and beautiful
—— BooksellerLike the Irish sea that laps the coast at Greystones, Co Wicklow, this extraordinary, beautifully written book ebbs and flows with love amid the crises of daily life… It’s a powerful, memorable and life-affirming read
—— ChoiceA heartbreaking work of shimmering beauty that charts her own place in the world… As astounding as it is inspirational
—— Donal O'Donoghue , RTE GuideThis is far from a desperate tale and a plea for pity. It is an often uplifting and funny account of learning to dealing with hardship and how resilient and adaptable we can be in testing times
—— Jude Brosnan , Wanderlust Travel MagazineA true-to-the-bone and life affirming account of her life with a husband with MND, 5 young kids and her addiction to swimming in the Irish sea every day
—— Al Porter , Today FMHer beautiful, sparse prose gets to the very essence of what is happening with the various tribes. It is a moving book too, with several poignant moments. She is one tough lady
—— Paul Cheney , NudgeIf ever there was a lesson in living the fullest, most passionate life you can, this is it! I Found My Tribe is one of the most moving memoirs I have ever read. Living with her husband Simon, who was diagnosed with motor neuron disease and her five children, Ruth Fitzmaurice writes so honestly and vividly about her family's life that you will think about the Fitzmaurice's long after you have turned the final page. It is beautifully written with clever descriptions and vivid imagery that will take your breath away. Writing to the background noise of Simon's medical machines, twenty four hour carers and five children, Ruth candidly writes about her life as she navigates various different themes including grief, friendship and love and the strength she has in the face of adversity… I found my tribe is an uplifting powerful memoir that will make you laugh and cry in equal measures. I urge everyone to read it
—— Adele O'Neill , Irish IndependentBeautiful…There is huge passion in Fitzmaurice’s writing.
—— Sophie White , Image MagazineA surprisingly uplifting read
—— Arifa Akbar , Observer
