Cook, Eat, Repeat: Ingredients, Recipes, and Stories

The latest offering from acclaimed chef Lawson features her signature blend of innovative recipes and epicurean storytelling. Lawson has long promoted the sense of wellbeing and emotional nourishment that home cooking can provide in busy modern life; her philosophy shines through here. The collection contains over 150 recipes, with something for every reader, whether they’re planning a simple solo supper or hosting an elaborate dinner party. The unconventional mix of essays, traditional recipes, and looser narrative recipes is part of the collection’s appeal; it provides specific guidance and instruction for certain dishes alongside wide-ranging inspiration for culinary exploration. Some chapters highlight a particular ingredient; other chapters gather inspired dinner menus, including many suggestions for make-ahead vegetables and sides. Readers will find some vegan and gluten-free options, and all of the cake recipes offer a gluten-free alternative.
