Book Reviews of Nigella Express: Good Food, Fast

Book Review: Fan of Nigella...
Summary: 5 Stars


I'm a big fan of Nigella's TV Show (on BBC), therefore this book is a great addition to my cookbook library.

The recipes are sooooo easy to follow, whether you live in the UK or the USA.
The photos are terrific!

The recipes, themselves, are what I would call the basic "feel-good" recipes that a cook likes to cook for his or her family (very home-y).

If you look at the contents page of this book (SEE INSIDE BOOK BUTTON) you will see what I mean.

If you are looking for some gourmet, hard-to-reproduce recipes, then this book may not be for you. The recipes are not super fancy, and the reason is because that is not what Nigella is known for! Nigella is a down-home cook, very matter of fact, and she uses ingredients that can be found in the supermarket. About the only ingredient in this book that is most difficult to find is "rose water" , but I'm sure that a substitute can be either made or substituted (eg: vanilla or flavored sugar water).

Summary of Nigella Express: Good Food, Fast

The Domestic Goddess is back, and this time it's instant. Nigella and her style of cooking have earned a special place in our lives, symbolizing all that is best, most pleasurable, most hands-on, and least fussy about good food. But that doesn't mean she wants us to spend hours in the kitchen, slaving over a hot stove.

Featuring fabulous fast foods, ingenious shortcuts, terrific time-saving ideas, effortless entertaining tips, and simple, scrumptious meals, Nigella Express is her solution to eating well when time is short. Here are mouthwatering meals, quick to prepare and easy to follow, that you can conjure up after a day in the office or on a busy weekend, for family or unexpected guests. This is food you can make as you hit the kitchen running, with vital advice on how to keep your pantry stocked, and your freezer and fridge stacked. When time is precious, you can?t spend hours shopping, so you need to make life easier by being prepared. Not that these recipes are basic, though they are always simple, but it's important to make every ingredient earn its place, minimizing effort by maximizing taste.

Here too is great food that can be prepared quickly but cooked slowly in the oven, leaving you time to have a bath, a drink, talk to friends, or help the children with their homework, minimum stress for maximum enjoyment.

Nigella Express features a new generation of fast food, never basic, never dull, always doable, quick, and delicious.

Featuring recipes seen on Food Network?s Nigella Express series.

Praise for Nigella Lawson and her cookbooks:
