Nigella Lawson Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Nigella Lawson

It is wonderful. It's one of those books that says serious things but is really one of those rollicking good reads.

If I could read Helen Garner all day every day, I’d regard it as a life well-lived. I revere all her writing, but it’s her non-fiction I return to most and, to distil it further, for me it’s her diaries that show her to be the absolute killer writer that she is.

Leslie’s great gift is to combine a probing intellectual curiosity and acuity with proper, unscoffy emotional intelligence. The result is a serious and beautifully written investigation into the nature of creativity (a recurrent interest of his) and – as the subtitle attests – a true love story.

I’ve got an undeniable must-have for you on #CookbookCorner this week. It’s my pleasure to sing the praises of Your Daily Veg by Joe Woodhouse. Read all about it and get his different but deeply compelling recipe for Potato Boulangère https://t.co/UvXg7SUgS4 https://t.co/dtOlYY7lKb

I have had the most blissful long weekend of reading. Couldn’t ask for anything better.. brilliantly funny and a total joy. (He’s given us a great new cast, but there is one particular character, Rosie D’Antonio, who is just ultra-relishable!)

What a treat to come home and find a proof copy of the brilliant @taffyakner’s new book which, I’m afraid, I’ve already spilt coffee over!

Three Days in June might take a short afternoon to read, but it takes up so more space in your mind afterwards. But then, Tyler’s particular genius is for capturing the fullness of character and feeling in so few words... the family dynamic so superbly revealed... Just relishable.

Food is far from the only thing to provide nourishment: I absolutely loved this short epistolary novel, Love & Saffron, by ⁦‪@kimkfay‬⁩. I wanted to go on reading it forever...
