Kitchen Nigella Lawson Nigella Lawson claims Kitchen was the book she always intended to write but one to which she had to work up. The result is a cookbook that combines common sense advice with comfort food dishes. Throughout, Nigella acts as a culinary best friend offering support in everything from choosing equipment to deciding whether a dish can be made ahead and frozen. To save both money and space in your kitchen drawers, pay special attention to Nigella’s gadget hall of shame! Hardcover, $55.00. Nigella Express Nigella Lawson All of the dishes in Nigella’s Express require little preparation. However, some cook quickly while others give the cook time to relax in a hot bath or curl up with a good book to the enticing aroma of dinner bubbling away in the oven. Some of the recipes are old favorites from earlier books, some will become new favorites, but all have the interplay of texture, colour, and contrasting flavours that have given Nigella Lawson’s vision of comfort food an international profile. Colour photos. Hardcover, 390 pp, $50.00. Feast: Food that Celebrates Life Nigella Lawson The Yummy Mummy’s fifth book is the best since her first. As in How to Eat ($63.00,$37.50) this book appeals to both the cook and the reader. Nigella’s feasts range from a funeral reception to a Passover seder always using tempting yet simple dishes. Colour photos. Hardcover, 416 pp, $55.00. Nigella Bites Nigella Lawson The UK's latest, & certainly most stunning, celebrity food personality. Let the backbiting begin in earnest. There are too many author photos, too much borrowing ( but at least she cites her sources ), and what's with the trash cooking ( Elvis's infamous fried peanut butter and banana sandwich again)? However, a taste of slow-roasted pork shoulder, aromatic lamb shank stew or raspberry and lemongrass trifle will stop the critics cold. Give us more! $50.00. Recipe: Pasta with Meatballs How to be a Domestic Goddess Nigella Lawson Woman-about-the-arts and confirmed coobook addict Jane Marsland has given her stamp of approval to Nigella Lawson's Domestic Goddess based on the banana loaf.Since, like us, her previous gold standard for same was James Beard's recipe (the one without the nuts) in Beard on Bread ($21), we respect her opinion. Like the late Richard Sax, Lawson writes with the voice of a good friend offering suggestions rather than rules which must be followed because she knows best. Colour photos. Hardcover, $35.00. How to Eat Nigella Lawson A former restaurant critic for the Spectator, current food columnist for British Vogue, a Booker Prize judge, a sidekick of Nigel Stalter, and beautiful too. Could we be more jealous? Subtitled The Pleasures and Principles of Good Food, Lawson gives us plenty to digest for the brain as well as the stomach. With chapters covering cooking in advance, feeding small children, small quantity and low-fat cooking, she has hit upon all the flash points for today's busy lives. Rather idiosyncratic photos. Softcover, 39.95 Forever Summer Nigella Lawson Forever Summer has the practical appeal of a cookbook as well as the lure of a travel book, the sort one might flick through longingly in winter, dreaming of much-needed sunshine. There is a delightful chapter on ice creams and a rich, luscious White Chocolate Almond Cake recipe onpage 214. Softcover, 279 pp. $35.00. Back to top
