Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Chicken liver parfait

    • meggan on November 08, 2012

      This is my go to pate recipe. You can use all kinds of different booze and I sometimes throw in some morels. When I don't make this to give away at Christmas, people get very upset.

  • Leek and potato soup

    • meggan on March 09, 2014

      I added heavy cream because I am naughty. Very good.

  • Normandy fish pie

    • Thermomixit on July 22, 2018

      This has to be my all time favourite fish pie! Totally delicious!

  • Chicken baked in salt with Lapsang Souchong tea

    • wester on April 12, 2016

      I really liked the idea of seasoning chicken with Lapsang, but I don't like salt crusts. So I just seasoned some chicken legs with a mix of salt and Lapsang then baked them as usual. Very good.

    • friendlytoast on May 13, 2026

      This is super easy and a great way to keep white meat moist. I use it mostly to cook whole bone-in breasts. If you don’t have lapsang souchong tea, smoked paprika makes a good substitute.

  • Chicken breasts in vinaigrette with pine nuts and raisins

    • meggan on December 12, 2016

      This good though I would make slightly more dressing next time (maybe 1.5 times as much). We served it over spinach for a salad.

  • Meatballs with marjoram and pine nuts in tomato sauce

    • wester on April 30, 2018

      Good but nothing special. The pine nuts, majoram and bacon were not very noticeable in the end result.

  • Puy lentil, roasted pepper, and anchovy salad

    • wester on January 20, 2017

      Very good. Sweet, earthy and well balanced. Filling without being stodgy. It looks good too, black on red. I used a good splash of fish sauce instead of anchovies as my children don't like finding bits of anchovy.

Publishers Text

Living and Eating is above all a cookery book, packed with 'luscious recipes' (Marie Claire), with food that has been selected to be simple and delicious. The intention is to narrow the gap between how we eat on a daily basis and how we entertain, recognizing that the most relaxed form of entertaining is simply about inviting people to join you at your table. The collection of recipes is designed to cater for all seasons and occasions, and gives attention to making the best ever version of everyone's favourites: there are recipes for roast chicken, the definitive tomato salad, tagliatelle a la carbonara, apple tart and summer pudding. The book goes beyond the food itself to look at the whole context in which we enjoy it - the plates and glasses we eat and drink from, the equipment we use to prepare the food and the kitchen in which we cook. Exquisitely designed and produced, and illustrated with stunning food photography and photographs of John Pawson's London house, Living and Eating is an unparalleled, much praised guide to a simple yet utterly seductive way of cooking, eating and living.
