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

Interweaves domestic goddess-style recipes with personal musings and guides

Twenty-two years after her first book, How To Eat, Nigella Lawson has produced what feels like its answer: Cook, Eat, Repeat.

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

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

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

The most delicious-sounding ideas... [and the] perfect book to hone your cooking skills - and lockdown might provide extra time you need

Deliciously indulgent food escapes

Lawson's engaging tone...makes this an ideal Christmas present in these dark days... Just now there may be little we can do but cook, eat, repeat, but Lawson shows us this can and should be pleasurably ritualistic rather than monotonous

Cook, Eat, Repeat recipes are hits...written about in a lyrical style that inspires you to cook

Few cookery writers write so beautifully, imbuing their recipes with such a sense of narrative, culinary enthusiasm and human understanding... [The] recognition of the personal nature of cooking, and the connections it involves, strikes at the heart of her appeal

No one blends tempting recipes and thoughtful digression on the subject of food with quite the same easy grace as Nigella. Her latest offering is a classic example

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. I can't think of a better companion for these strange times

A rapturous account of wonderful food and a joyful antidote to everything else

The recipes...are dazzling and the prose that surrounds them is like the hug we've been waiting for all year

Every page crackles with the sheer pleasure of cooking and eating, in whatever way you choose, and there is no finer quality in a cookbook than that

This book is testament to the fact that Nigella is as much a writer as a cook, and it will surely be on every Christmas list this year

Written in her [Lawson's] inimitable warm and conversational style, it's [Cook, Eat, Repeat] an electric mix

A stunning variety of recipes in this year's cookbook collection', mention: 'A delicious and delightful combination of recipes intertwined with narrative essays about food, all written in Nigella's engaging and insightful prose

Thrilling... A wise, digressive celebration of the life-affirming pleasures of eating that sparkles with descriptive sentences that are just as delectable as dishes that cover everything from crab mac'n'cheese to sweet and salty chocolate cookies specifically designed not to be shared... Nigella's latest book -- through its wisdom, wit and urge to bring joy -- has the knack of making an uncertain future feel that little bit more bearable

Cook, Eat, Repeat is an informative, intelligent, thought-provoking and amusing book. Surely the combination of her delicious recipes and delicious words is a dream come true

There's not a cook in the country who won't be licking their lips in anticipation

Wonderful... Its real strength is that Nigella is such a pleasure to read

A delicious and delightful combination of recipes intertwined with narrative essays about food, all written in the cook's engaging and insightful prose

There is everything you want from a cookbook - brilliant recipes, a little bit of humour and, most importantly, a lot of comfort

Beautifully written... A must for domestic goddesses

Beautifully written. O’Connor creates a vivid and vigorous world of his own

Beautifully written and gorgeously atmospheric

A beautifully written masterpiece

A vividly written and atmospheric meditation on the creative process

O’Connor is masterly at evoking the late Victorian era; its train journeys, street scenes, formality and banter… O’Connor is masterly at evoking the late Victorian era; its train journeys, street scenes, formality and banter

Rich and vivid

Joseph O'Connor has written an entertaining novel that combines narrative with transcripts of recordings, diary entries and other notes. It steeps viewers in the theatre of Irving and Terry in the late 1870s and beyond, providing much informative colour at the same time as delving deeply and frankly into a series of relationships that are generally convincing.

O’Connor tells his story in rich and stylish prose

A rousing story about a remarkable woman

Joseph O’Connor’s vivid descriptive writing evokes Stoker’s memories of the post-famine Ireland of his youth and of Irving’s company’s fraught tours of America… [his] fine writing, his wit and sympathy create a richly enjoyable backdrop for some familiar characters

Enthralling… Brings to teeming life the London of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras

Brilliant... alternately deeply moving and laugh-aloud funny

O'Connor's gift is to weave whimsical moments in between the complexity of relationships and people... a beautiful story

An ambitious celebration of friendship, theatre and the power of darkness, Shadowplay is chilling and dramatic in equal measure

A wonderfully evocative tale within a tale

A thrilling novel, exquisitely contrived to show the characters whose loves and lives inspired Dracula. A great tribute, and a work of art. Deeply affecting.

I adored According to YES. It's so different to anything I've read in forever, so charming, wise, brilliantly written. I loved it all

Witty and wise, it'll have you burning the midnight oil. A cracker

Very funny and packs an emotional clout. Brilliant!

An enlightening and feel-good read offering a fresh look at life and how to embrace it. Funny and enjoyable to the end

There is lots of fun to be had reading this book. It's impossible not to warm to Rosie, a funny and open-hearted woman who acts as a salve and comfort blanket for this unhappy, inhibited family. There's something quite joyous about the way she unashamedly romps her way through the novel, changing the lives of those around her for the better

Another hilarious novel!

French can spin a yarn . . . which sets According to YES apart. Think the vicar of Dibley, without the dog collar. YES YES YES indeed

Wise and poignant

Heart-warming
