She is the author of eight bestselling books - How to Eat ('may just be the best cookery book ever' Daily Telegraph), How to be a Domestic Goddess (British Book Awards 2001), Nigella Bites (WHSmith Award 2002) Forever Summer ('images of warmth and Mediterranean climes' Time Out), Feast, ('a voluptuous and delicious piece of food writing' Guardian), Nigella Express (no. 1 bestseller with over 1 million sales), Nigella Christmas ('everything to make your Christmas sparkle' Independent) and Nigellissima - which, together with her successful TV series and her recent iPhone App, Nigella Quick Collection, have made hers a household name around the world.
She is a contributor to the New York Times.
"We use food to mark occasions that are important to us in life. Feast is not just about the way we cook and eat at the great religious festivals or big- deal special occasions, but about how food is the vital way we celebrate anything that matters...it's how we mark the connections between us, how we celebrate life.'
A feast for the eyes and the senses, Feast is a must for every kitchen. In the style and tradition of Nigellas classic How to Eat, it applies those same Pleasures and Principles of Good Food to celebrations from feast days to familiar rites of passage.
Essentially about families and food, about public holidays and private passions, about how to celebrate the small everyday pleasures as well as the big occasions, it includes everything from Christmas, Thanksgiving, Hanukah and Eid, to Passover and Easter; from Valentines Day to that first breakfast in bed and Sunday lunch fit for the In-Laws; from Meatless Feasts to Midnight Feasts, from Partytime to the ultimate Chocolate Cake Hall of Fame; from weddings to funerals, from Georgian and Venetian feasts to childrens favourites.
Heartwarming, passionate, informed, refreshingly uncomplicated and full of ideas, Feast is destined to become a classic like How to Eat. Written with the same enjoyment, sensuality and practical awareness, and packed with over 300 recipes from all over the world and from near to home, Feast proclaims Nigellas love of life and great food to celebrate it with."

'The real successor to Nigella Lawson's classic, How to Eat, a volume that every right-thinking person cherishes and consults regularly... Feast [is] just as entertaining and divulgent - and it works too, both as a practical manual and an engrossing read' Evening Standard
'Lovely photographs clear recipes great stress-busting tips' Lydia Slater Sunday Times
'As clever and inspiring as ever' Jeanette Winterson, Evening Standard
'She makes cooking seem like a real pleasure' Aileen Reed, Sunday Telegraph
'Nigella has become the idealised home maker de nos jours, the domestic cook we would all like to aspire to be, Mrs Beaton cum Constance Spry cum Jane Grigson cum Caroline Conran. Her recipes are rich and motherly and sustaining and sexy, just as she is. The finished dishes gleam up from the photographs, not artful, glossy and precise as if they had been made by a team of home economists and food stylists, but artless, homely and natural, as they would appear in our own kitchens. Feast, like so much of Lawsons work, is a voluptuous and delicious piece of food writing. This is the kind of food we can dream of cooking.' Tom Norrington-Davies Guardian (UK)
'Shes funny and sexy, her food looks amazing and her blas? manner convinces even the most determined of kitchen loathers that cooking isnt drudgery but something to be enjoyed. . . . The writing is witty, crisp and casual. . . .The photography is gorgeous in its simplicity and homeyness.' The Chronicle Herald (Halifax)
