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

Informed by John Pawson's minimalist ethos, this book is about making life easier, more enjoyable and more beautiful. It is first and foremost a cookery book, with food that has been carefully selected to be simple, comfortable and delicious, allowing each individual flavour to be enjoyed. Eating is a central focus of our lives and of our homes, and this innovative book goes beyond the food itself to look at the whole context in which we enjoy it - the plates we eat from, the glasses we drink out of, the equipment we use to prepare the food and the kitchen in which we cook it. John's philosophy is to pare down to a small yet beautiful range of carefully chosen essentials, allowing each object to be appreciated and eliminating the time-consuming confusion of excess. Functionality is as important as style, however, and practical information is provided throughout. Exquisitely designed and produced, Living and Eating is an unequalled guide to a simple yet utterly seductive way of living.
