I love Nigella Lawsons writing and I love her recipes Delia Smith

Theres an intelligence to the way she writes and she expects a certain intelligence of her readers as well Nigel Slater

I am unapologetic about being a home cook rather than a chef.

Real cooking, the sort that goes on in homes, does not have to be tricksy or difficult. A dish of chicken poached with leeks and carrots definitely isnt fancy. But it tastes good, and feels essentially nourishing, to both body and soul, to cook and eat.

I want you to feel that Im there with you, in the kitchen, as you cook. My books are the conversations we might be having.

Nigella Lawson has written nine bestselling cookery books, including the classics How To Eat and How To Be A Domestic Goddess the book that launched a thousand cupcakes. These books, her TV series and her Quick Collection apps, have made her a household name around the world. In 2013 she was one of the Observer Food Monthlys ten Chefs of the Decade. She is a judge and mentor on The Taste in the US and UK.

Miss Lawson is the Thinking Persons Cook. She tells stories, she explains why things must be the way she says they must be ... enlightenment and sensual pleasure Jeanette Winterson, The Times

This is, as the title makes clear, a book about fast food, but it is a book about fast food for those who love eating. Perhaps thats self-evident: how could I write any other sort? But I start with this premise because so much is written about the need to reduce the time we must spend cooking its as if the kitchen were a hateful place, almost an unsafe place, and that it must be only reasonable for us to avoid it. I love food, I adore being in the kitchen and I am happy to cook. But heres the problem: the day doesnt have enough gaps in it for me to do much shopping and the evening what with the battles over homework, the still unchecked-off list of things I was meant to do, the calls I was supposed to return doesnt yield much time to cook. But I must eat, and I must eat well or else what is the point of it all? And then there are the people who need to be fed. I dont mention them grudgingly, either. I love to feed people, and rare is the person who comes into my home and leaves without a foil parcel of something from the kitchen.
