Description

Simple, delicious, unfussy Sunday Times resident food writer Lucas Hollweg offers good food for real people.

Good Things to Eat is just that: great food that focuses on the ever-popular ingredients and types of recipes that home cooks turn to again and again; the dishes that make everyone go 'yum!' From risottos, stews, gratins and things on toast to lamb, fruit, pasta, pies, squashes and puds, Lucas opens up scrumptious new possibilities for the kinds of flavours people know and love.

Lucas weaves together his recipes with personal memories, inspiration, gentle advice and the odd joke. His warm, unhurried writing and layman's understanding of what needs explaining and what doesn't, plus his usage of ingredients that people can easily get hold of, ensure he will inspire everyone to make uncomplicated, tasty food no matter how practised they are in the kitchen.

At long last, here is the book his fans have been waiting for.

Reviews

Hes as good with emotive words as he is with inspirational recipes enticing even kitchen virgins to put on a pinny. Cooking from the heart, simple dishes are a tempting tease of modern British flavours, Mediterranean sumptuousness and seasonal splendour Ive cooked more than a dozen recipes from the book with resounding successHollweg reminds us that unfussy cooking should always have pride of place in the kitchen. 4/5 stars, Time Out

A book that springs from a sound ethos: love for simple ingredients and a desire to eat and feed. Lucass skill is in using down-to-earth ingredients in recipes that make you salivate just by reading the title. delicious magazine

It is brilliant. Alex James in The Sun

[Lucas Hollwegs cookery pages] are the best youll find in or on the English tongue. A. A. Gill

A book with a hungry heart, written by the new star of simple good food. Rose Prince

Lucas cooks from his heart and his recipes really hit the spot for entertaining at home; Ive even lifted a couple myself. Mark Hix

Top of The Way to His Heart by Sunday Times Style

I could happily eat for years from his ungussied recipesExcellent. Christopher Hirst, The Independent

As readers of his Sunday Times column will know, Hollweg has a magical ability to combine a few ingredients into something wonderful. He knows when to elaborate adding cardamom to a lemon-drizzle cake, say and when to leave well alone: pork chops with mustard and capers, onion tart, fish pie. No book this year has made me salivate quite as much. Sunday Times Culture
