'Notes from a lifetime of reading, thinking, cooking and eating' Diana Henry

The Secret of Cooking is packed with solutions for how to make life in the kitchen work better for you, whether you are cooking for yourself or for a crowd.

Bee shows you how to get a meal on the table when you're tired and stretched for time, how to season properly, cook onions (or not) and what equipment really helps.

The 140 recipes are doable and delicious, filled with ideas for cooking ahead or cooking alone and the kind of unfussy food that makes everyday life taste better.

'A lifetime of kitchen wisdom here' Nigel Slater

'A truly remarkable cookbook that will change lives' Rachel Roddy

'It's not often that a genuinely game-changing cook book comes out, but this accomplished, approachable and helpful book - its writing as nourishing as the recipes - is most definitely it. Quite frankly, there's not a kitchen that should be without a copy of The Secret of Cooking' Nigella Lawson

'There is wisdom, and notes from a lifetime of reading, thinking, cooking and eating here. And it's not just about food but about how we live, and how we look after ourselves and each other' Diana Henry
