Kitchen $55 Kitchen tells the story of the life of the kitchen, through the food we eat now and the way we live, in the most important room of the house. Compendious, informative and utterly engaging, Kitchen brings us feel-good food for cooks and eaters that is comforting but always seductive, nostalgic but with a modern twist — whether express-style easy-exotic recipes for the weekday rush, leisurely slow-cook dishes for weekends and special occasions, or irresistible cakes and cookies as the Domestic Goddess rides again. It answers everyday cooking quandaries — what to give the kids for lunch, how to rustle up a meal for friends in moments, or what to do about those black bananas, wrinkled apples and bullet-hard plums — and since real cooking is so often about leftovers, here one recipe can morph into another… from ham hocks to pea soup and pasties, from chicken to Chinatown salad. This isn’t just about being thrifty but about being creative and seeing how recipes come about and evolve. As well as offering the reader a mouthwatering array of inspired new recipes — from clams with chorizo to Guinness gingerbread, from Asian braised beef to flourless chocolate lime cake, from pasta Genovese to Venetian carrot cake — Nigella rounds up her no-nonsense Kitchen Kit and Caboodle must-haves (and, crucially, what isn’t needed) in the way of equipment and magical standby ingredients. But above all, she reminds the reader how much pleasure there is to be had in real food and in reclaiming the traditional rhythms of the kitchen, as she cooks to the beat of the heart of the home, creating simple, delicious recipes to make life less complicated. The expansive, lively narrative, with its rich feast of food, makes this new work a natural 21st-century successor to Nigella’s classic How To Eat , this time with a wealth of photographs from the instructive to the glorious. From the Hardcover edition. |

How to Do It $20 How to Do It shows us sixteenth-century Italy from an entirely new perspective: through manuals which were staples in the households of middlebrow Italians merely trying to lead better lives. Addressing challenges such as how to conceive a boy, the manuals offered suggestions such as tying a tourniquet around your husband’s left testicle. Or should you want to goad female desires, throw 90 grubs in a liter of olive oil, let steep in the sun for a week and apply liberally on the male anatomy. Bell’s journey through booklets long dismissed by scholars as being of little literary value gives us a refreshing and surprisingly fun social history. “Lively and curious reading, particularly in its cascade of anecdote, offered in a breezy, cozy, journalistic style.” —Lauro Martines, Times Literary Supplement “[Bell's] fascinating book is a window on a lost world far nearer to our own than we might imagine. . . . [H]ow pleasant to read his delightful, informative and often hilarious book.” —Kate Saunders, The Independent “An extraordinary work which blends the learned with the frankly bizarre.” — The Economist “Professor Bell has a sly sense of humor and an enviably strong stomach. . . . He wants to know how people actually behaved, not how the Church or philosophers or earnest humanists thought they should behave. I loved this book.” —Christopher Stace, Daily Telegraph “[This] book is a first-class social history and is welldocumented both in its historical and scientific portions. [Bell] lets the data speak for itself and emphasizes the difference between the medieval anorexic saint and the modern anorexic.”—Vern L. Bullough, ;IAmerican Historical Review;X “Bell’s book Holy Anorexia concentrates on Italian saints, and is especially rewarding for connoisseurs of the spiritually lurid.”—Hilary Mantel, London Review of Books |
