NIGELLA IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE TV COOK. I HAVE ALL OF HER COOKBOOKS. NIGELLA BITES, EXPRESS AND FOREVER SUMMER ARE MY FAVORITES. I DIDN'T CARE FOR THE CHRISTMAS COOKBOOK I PURCHASED LAST YEAR WHEN I MET HER. I HOPE THIS NEW BOOK WILL BE AS GOOD AS HER PREVIOUS ONES. THIS IS MY CHRISTMAS GIFT TO MYSELF. I ORDERED IT TODAY. **Update**
My copy arrived in the mail. The photos are beautiful absolute food porn. The recipes are diverse and hearty. I can't wait to start cooking.
Product Description
Comprehensive, informative, and engaging, Nigella Kitchen offers feel-good food for cooks and eaters that is comforting yet always seductive, nostalgic but with a modern twist--whether super-fast exotic recipes for the weekday rush, leisurely slow-cook dishes for weekends and special occasions, or irresistible cakes and cookies in true "domestic goddess" style. Nigella Kitchen answers everyday cooking quandaries--what to feed a group of hungry teenagers, how to rustle up a spur-of-the-moment meal for friends, or how to treat yourself when you're home alone--and since real cooking is so often about leftovers, here one recipe can morph into another . . . from ham hocks in cider to cidery pea soup, from "praised" chicken to Chinatown salad. This isn't just about being thrifty; it's about being creative and seeing how recipes evolve.
With 190 mouth watering and inspiring recipes, including more than 60 express-style recipes (30 minutes or under), Nigella Kitchen offers plenty of choice--from clams with chorizo to Guinness gingerbread, from Asian braised beef shank to chocolate key lime pie, from pasta alla genovese to Venetian carrot cake. In addition, Nigella presents her no-nonsense kitchen kit must-haves (and, crucially, what isn't needed) in the way of equipment and magical standby ingredients. But above all, she reminds the reader how much pleasure there is to be had in real food and in reclaiming the traditional rhythms of the kitchen, as she cooks to the beat of the heart of the home, creating simple, delicious recipes to make life less complicated.
Gorgeously illustrated, this expansive, lively narrative, with its rich feast of food, is destined to be a 21st-century classic.
