Her first cookbook, How To Eat (1998), became an international bestseller, followed by How To Be A Domestic Goddess (2000), which earned her Author of the Year at the British Book Awards. She is also known for her playful, sensual style of presentation and the innuendo-laced commentary that has become her trademark.
