How to Make a Mess
Rating: ★★★
Venue: Upstairs at the Gatehouse, London
When Anna’s estranged mother dies, she skips sitting shiva and immerses herself in Nigella Lawson’s seminal cookbook How To Eat, somehow summoning an imagined Nigella as her guide.
Folding together heartache and humour, Anna rediscovers the joys of living, learning, and—most importantly—eating, one recipe at a time.
