Recipes and stories that celebrate the joys and quirks of domestic
life, written with candid warmth and humor
"I am so greedily impatient for this book. I want to read it. I want
to cook from it."Nigella Lawson
In Notes from a Small Kitchen Island, food writer Debora Robertson
presents a charming miscellany of recipes that celebrate the joys of
home and the memories we make in it, collected over the years as she
cooked her way through the various kitchens that came in and out of her
life.
From nostalgic recipes remembered from childhood, to accidentally
Turkish suppers created with ingredients from her local Hackney high
street; from feasts improvised in her French holiday cottage to food
cooked for the best of friends, Debora's recipes encapsulate the
comforts and adventures to be found in the everyday. You'll also learn
how to throw a party without losing your mind and what food writers
really eat for lunch (mostly toast!).
A chronicle of domestic life, this book comprises decades of fieldwork
in the author's natural territory: her kitchen.
