Her first short series on Channel 4 had over 2 million viewers and propelled her from success into stardom. How to Eat sold spectacularly on the back of the first unheralded 5-part series. Nigella Bites is a must-have for every viewer and all her fans. Some recipes are based on her popular Vogue columns, others are new and different, and all are characteristic of Nigella and the ethos of the TV series - uncomplicated, original, fresh, and perfect for the way we live today. They're easy to produce after a busy day at the office, fun to linger over at weekends or to make with the kids, delectable to read about, dreamy to look at and delicious to eat. They include Late Breakfasts, Party Food, TV Dinners, Trailer Trash , Big Lunches, Indoor Picnics, and other delights. Nigella wants her readers and her viewers to enjoy eating and cooking. With her, how could anyone resist! Nigella Bites--the title is taken from Nigella Lawson's Style Network cooking show of the same name--is the third book from British Vogue food editor and New York Times food columnist Nigella Lawson, a force of nature all her own. Her other books include How to Eat and How to Be a Domestic Goddess. Fans of the TV show will find all these easy-to-follow recipes familiar, and the book is even designed with pages for note taking at the end of each section. Nigella Bites is divided into chapters that include 'All-Day Breakfast,' 'Comfort Food,' 'TV Dinners,' 'Party Girl,' 'Rainy Days,' 'Trashy,' 'Legacy,' 'Suppertime,' 'Slow-Cooked Weekend,' and 'Templefood.' 'Templefood' refers to the 'body as a temple,' and Lawson shares what she calls 'restorative' recipes, like the raw egg and brandy hangover cure called Prairie Oyster. Hot and Sour Soup and Gingery Hot Duck Salad are also present and accounted for. It's all self-referential. Lawson (her chapter introductions are printed in 26-point type for the hard of seeing) holds nothing back about what she likes, how she overindulges, how she works her lifestyle into the kitchen and onto the table. It's encouragement by example, with a practical twist. You aren't going to spend hours in the kitchen midweek. That's a reward you save for the weekend. But there's plenty of deliciousness to be had midweek as well, and Lawson's there to help you along your way. --Schuyler Ingle Following the runaway success of her previous cookbooks and TV series, 'domestic goddess' Nigella Lawson offers this volume to accompany her latest TV fare. With sections such as 'All-Day Breakfast', 'Comfort Food', and 'Rainy Days', it is, like the TV programmes, about indulgence, a guide to pigging out glamorously, with maximum flavour, minimum hassle and guilt. Lawson speaks for the attitudes and aspirations of an era; her enthusiatic asides, anticipatory grins and almost-perfect looks are a major part of the appeal. At first glance this might just seem an inspirational volume - tasty dishes on all levels - but closer inspection reveals that, although it is no step-by-step bible, the recipes are clear and easy to follow, the photos precise enough to be useful.

A little too much seafood, as I do not eat this. Apart from that it is great. Rating - with a little time on your hands This book is a work of art, it is so nice to look at that you forget you are reading a cook book. I like it, but use it very infrequently because I have two little toddlers and spending an entire day cooking is not what happens around our house on a regular basis. Maybe when they get a bit older. Right now it is another one of those books that just is not happening right now. Rating - The Perfect Match to the "Nigella Bites" Nigella's Old Show I love Nigella. She seems like such a real person and it definitely comes across on her shows. This book has all the great recipes that I drooled over watching her show and the recipes that I have tried have all been wonderful. The salmon with bok choy and shiitake mushrooms is one of my favorites. I especially like the space in the book where she suggests writing your own cooks notes. It's great! Rating - Some great recipes, some poor ones I own several of Nigella's cookbooks and this one has some great recipes, like the chocolate cloud cake, ham and coca-cola and chocolate-lime cheesecake. But I have had really bad luck with some too. The Southern Style Fried Chicken recipe calls for you to poach the chicken first, which I found overcooks it and leaves you with soggy not crispy chicken in the end. A lot of the desserts are overly sweetened with sugar and I had to cut back on it. Some ... Read More see more reviews See all books by author Nigella Lawson
