Nigella Express - Nigella Lawson

...this, my Mum bought me Nigella Express last Christmas and I have to hand it to her - it was spot on! As Nigella says in the intro `This is, as the title makes clear, a book about fast food, but it is a book about fast food for those who love eating. Perhaps that's self-evident: How could I write any other sort?" As such all the recipes in this book are as hassle free as possible and allow you to cook delicious meals quickly. The book has 390 pages ...
...has a brief intro by Nigella which normally gives a few handy hints to make your life easier and suggestions for appropriate occasions to make each dish. The recipes are all written in a very casual, easy to follow style and Nigella is fairly free as to whether you follow her instructions to the letter or add a few variations of your own along the way. A full list of ingredients is listed at the start of each recipe, although it's worth checking ...

Review of Nigella Express - Nigella Lawson

This is an excellent book for practically anyone who is wanting to experiment in the kitchen without too much time, effort and expense. It's fab and all recipes can be done in around 6steps, what more could you ask for!! It is definitely the ideal book for those of us who like the idea of cooking but feel it takes too long for only 20 minutes worth of eating. I have done a couple of the recipes now and each one has been successful, which is extremely ...

Review of Nigella Express - Nigella Lawson

I requested this book for Christmas after having watched the bbc tv series and I'm glad I got it. The book is full of easy to make interesting food. And it is proper food, this is not a book of recipes which you would never make and couldn't feed your kids with, this is family cooking at its best. There are recipes for breakfasts, for lunches, for dinners and also for snacks and desserts. The lunches I have found to be invaluable, they have brightened ...
...being light meals you can eat at lunch time, these recipes have been thought up specifically for putting in a box (or flask) and taking to work. I have yet to try making any of the buns or muffins but they look very tasty. I'm not much of a dessert person and there are quite a few sweet recipes. The essence of this book is speed and it works. I would recommend this book if you like cooking but don't have the time to mess about. Generally the ingredients ...

Review of Nigella Express - Nigella Lawson

I love this book, Nigella is great!! The recipes are so easy to follow, my husband bought me this book and he says its the best gift he's ever got me! He gets to eat all the rewards. You should definately try the chocolate fudge ice cream sauce and the chocolate cookies, not that I'm a chocoholic or anything! The whole book is brilliant, there are some great ideas for quick evening meals and also when you want to do some thing a bit more special. ...
