What was the title of Nigella Lawson's first book?

How to Eat is a 1998 book of English cuisine by the celebrity cook Nigella Lawson. It features culinary tips on preparation and saving time, and sold 300,000 copies in Britain. It was praised by critics as a valuable guide to cooking.

The book begins with Lawson's preface, which states plainly "I am not a chef", and that she is not interested in "strenuous originality". She states that her goal, rather, is "to make you feel that I'm there with you". The book is divided into themed chapters, such as cooking for "One or Two". Most of each chapter consists of recipes, but the chapters begin with a few pages of general advice on the theme, such as that while cooking for one may feel "onanistic", "it might be a good thing to consider yourself worth cooking for."
