    A lovely book filled with feel-good receipes. The photographs of the food are wonderful and each dish looks really mouth-watering. I only wish that the book came with a personal chef who would make all the food for you!

    Compendious informative and engaging Kitchen offers feel-good food for cooks and eaters that is comforting but always seductive nostalgic but with a modern twist - whether express-way easy-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. It answers everyday cooking quandaries - what to give the kids for tea how to rustle up a meal for friends or an impromptu kitchen party in moments or what to do about those black bananas wrinkled apples and bullet-hard plums - and since real cooking is so often about leftovers here one recipe can morph into another...from ham hocks to pea soup and pasties from braised chicken to Chinatown salad. This isn't just about being thrifty but about being creative and seeing how recipes evolve.As well as offering the reader a mouthwatering array of inspired new recipes - from clams with chorizo to Guinness gingerbread from Asian braised beef to flourless chocolate lime cake from Pasta ala Genovese to Venetian carrot cake - Nigella rounds up her 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. The expansive lively narrative with its rich feast of food makes this new work a natural 21st-century successor to Nigella's classic How To Eat this time with a wealth of photographs from the instructive to the glorious and accompanied by a BBC TV series. 190 recipes including over 60 express-style at 30 minutes or under.
