As for linguine alla cecca, it’s a hot pasta with a cold tomato and basil sauce, and it’s so light and delicate that it’s almost like eating a salad.

I have been a lazy cook this week. After almost two years cooking for a family as their nanny, I have rented a room in a friend’s house in the Cotswolds. It is quiet, and calm. Neighbours drop round to ask for cooking advice, or to drop off fruit they’ve just picked. I have given myself a month out of London – a writer’s retreat, of sorts – and have so far spent it looking out the window at the furious storms that arrive without warning over the valley, making endless cups of tea, running up and down steep hills and trying to write. Once the sun sets, and the need to switch the lamps on alerts me to the time, I head downstairs to the kitchen.
I have been working on a cookbook for so long now that standing in front of a hob has a tendency to feel like work. This is frustrating; I love cooking, and have since I was a child. And so, for the past week, I’ve been putting no pressure on it at all. Ive made toasted cheese sandwiches with hot lime pickle, chopped root vegetables for the simplest possible soup, and endless bowls of pasta.

Nora Ephron Heartburn Book
Britain’s sweaty, muggy summer is now a distant memory, and the cold nights are drawing in, so it’s probably time to accept the move to autumnal produce. The apples are already falling from the tree two doors down, landing fresh and crisp in our fruit bowl mere hours later. But this week I wanted to offer tomatoes a last hurrah, as I wave goodbye to my bowl of fresh tomatoes and start stockpiling tins instead.
You’re relying on the glory of tomatoes for this recipe, so only make it when you can put your hands on lovely, ripe ones. These ones were so good that I ate more of the cherry tomatoes than I had planned, reaching into the bowl every time I passed and bursting their firm skins between my teeth. This simple sauce, ready in the time it takes to cook the pasta and drink a cup of tea, is one I’ll be making again and again – once summer comes back around to meet us.

1. Fill your pan with water, and put it on to boil. Half fill the bowl with cold water. Slice a cross in the base of each tomato.
2. Once the pan of water is boiling, drop the tomatoes into it and leave them to bob along for a minute. Scoop them out and plunge them into the bowl of cold water to cool. Bring the pan of water back to a rolling boil, salt it and add the linguine.
3. While the pasta is cooking, drain the tomatoes then peel their skins off. Cut them open, scoop out the seeds and chop out the core. Roughly chop them or pull them apart (once deseeded, cherry tomatoes can be left as they are), and add them back to the bowl. Add the basil leaves, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper and chilli. Mix together with your hands and allow to sit while you have a cup of tea.

'I have bought more copies of this book to give to people, in a frenzy of enthusiasm, than any other . . . Heartburn is the perfect, bittersweet, sobbingly funny, all-too-true confessional novel' Nigella LawsonSeven months into her pregnancy, Rachel discovers that her husband is in love with another woman. The fact that this woman has a 'neck as long as an arm and a nose as long as a thumb' is no consolation. Food sometimes is, though, since Rachel is a cookery writer, and between trying to win Mark back and wishing him dead, she offers us some of her favourite recipes. Heartburn is a roller coaster of love, betrayal, loss and - most satisfyingly - revenge.
This is Nora Ephron's (screenwriter of When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle) roman a clef: 'I always thought during the pain of the marriage that one day it would make a funny book,' she once said - And it is!
