Her books are more than cookery books. They are the diaries of someone - who died young - with a huge appetite for life and the rare ability to convey it. She writes so movingly, too, about her daughter and I cant help thinking what a testimony of love she left her -- Nigella LawsonA feast . . . witty, no-nonsense . . . there are echoes of Nigella Lawson, one of Colwins fans . . . Home Cooking is a culinary companion as comfortable beside your bed as your cooker. It has an essay for everyone who loves to eat and demonstrates that home is where the heart is - and the stomach happiest * Observer *Shrewd and witty essays on food . . . a consistently enjoyable bedtime read * Mail on Sunday *I have in my kitchen a book called Home Cooking. And, in between following the recipes for Extremely Easy Old-Fashioned Beef Stew or Estelle Colwin Snellenbergs Potato Pancakes, I would frequently sit down on a little stool in my kitchen and read through one of the essays in that book. I never read through Joy of Cooking, and I can read The Silver Palate Cookbook standing up, but I always sat down to read these. -- Anna QuindlenMemories, recipes and tantalising tales of the kitchen * Sunday Times Style *Shrewd and witty * You Magazine *Laurie Colwins food thoughts are like phone calls from a dear friend * The New York Times * Review Text Laurie Colwin writes about food with love, lightness and an elegant intimacy reminding us that cooking is about life not recipes.
