The Kitchen Book

‘An important kitchen companion … This is a book of passions (for garlic soup, for making your own butter) and of comforts (dumpling omelette, sheet-pan leek latkes) … recipes which you will want to make even when you feel you can hardly get up from the sofa’ Bee Wilson
‘The Kitchen Book is my favourite cookbook ever … It isn’t just that it’s crammed full of useful and ingenious tips and methods, or that the recipes are fantastic. It’s the tone of it, the friendliness and warmth, the sentences, the intelligence and funniness and joy with which [Ella] writes. She is alive to every pleasure and it communicates itself in the most contagious way’ India Knight, Sunday Times
‘It’s everything I want from a cookery book: longform food writing you can lose yourself in, complete pragmatism and excellent recipes. Like all of Ella’s books, it’s filled with love – but it’s also funny and delicious and wise’ Olivia Potts, Spectator
‘There is a lot to be said for adding to the repertoire of very simple things you can cook at “lowest ebb, lowest effort”, as Ella puts it, and she is particularly attuned to ensuring recipes meet those criteria. This one, for example, involves almost no washing up’ Harriet Fitch Little, Financial Times
‘Original, inspiring and joyously delicious. I want to eat everything in this book’ Nigel Slater, author of A Thousand Feasts
‘There is so much to love in this book … I love Ella’s style, conversational and chaotic in the best possible way. And the recipes really drew me in with their ease and cleverness’ Anna Jones, author of Easy Wins
‘Ella guides us squarely toward the delicious while mercifully freeing us from the tyranny of rules. Both the writing and the recipes are deeply warm and encouraging’ Nicola Lamb, author of Sift
