“Are you hungry darling, shall I make you an omelette?”

My mother’s omelettes are slightly overdone but always generous in cheese and well-seasoned. My omelettes are just the same, though more often slightly underdone and less carefully considered. And like my stories, they come in many forms. You might get one late at night, after a little too much wine and alongside a little too much information. I might spend a long time on one that’s just a touch extravagant. And many are for the people I care about most, thrown together and with more cheese than is strictly necessary.

Collected here are things I’ve done, things I’ve seen, things I’ve thought, and most importantly, things I’ve tasted. They’re slices of parts of my life. Call them omelettes, if you like. I hope you enjoy them.

Reviews

Yotam Ottolenghi
Jessie's life seems to have seamlessly brought her forth on a magic carpet of food, peppered by lots and lots of laughs. Her stories are a joy to read, although probably not as much fun as they are to live. Deliciously entertaining.
Harper's Bazaar
Joie de vivre is the bass note throughout the pages of Omelette
Grazia
A delicious fusion of memoir and ode to food
Daily Mail
A charming and funny memoir ... you want to eat everything she describes
GQ
A great one for foodies who live for nostalgia
Reaction
A love letter to friends, first loves, faith and family, but most importantly - to food
Irish Daily Mail
A charming and funny memoir
