Her narrative just makes you want to eat whatever she is describing, in fact she describes so well you could be eating it. Favourites? Griddled Aubergines with Feta, Mint and Chilli have been requested several times, and Courgette Fritters went down well (my son made them). (  ) c27858 | Oct 26, 2009 |  Forever Summer is glorious. It contains two of my favourite ALL TIME recipes, that of the Lemony Prawn Salad and the Fattoush - simple, but so perfect. I adore the soups, both chilled and warm, and Nigella's way with Lamb is enough alone to make this book a necessity. The Ice Creams are all simple, but the Honey Semifreddo impresses people, but it is childishly easy to bring together. I use this book all year around. It's one of the best Nigella books, but then, all of Nigella's books are the best. ( ) Coby | Sep 13, 2009 | Luscious, sensual, pragmatic cooking. (  ) TheoClarke | Jul 18, 2009 | Honestly, this is the best of Nigella's books. The recipes are actually good here. But I don't really care if the recipes are shit. I want her to have a job. I enjoy the smart, curvy brunette having the last laugh. Enough tubular women! All hail the waist! ( ) jonesjohnson | Apr 30, 2008 | Tpns of yummie recipes!!! This is one of my favorite cookbooks!

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 067697547X, Hardcover)It’s sensuous summer all year long with Nigella -- in a fabulous new cookbook that draws on the best from all over the world: to tie in with her new 8-part television series.Summer food doesn’t have to be eaten just in summer. Even on our coldest days, indeed especially then, we need to summon up a little warmth on our plate. Summer cooking is relaxed cooking that conjures up a mood of sunny expansiveness: easy cooking, easy eating. No one wants to slave over a hot stove for hours: the keynote, as ever with Nigella, is simplicity. The ideal is of lazy abundance. The food of Italy and Spain, the fragrant mezze of the Eastern Mediterranean, the traditional strawberries-and-cream feel of an English summer afternoon: all these notes and flavours are reflected in Forever Summer. The uniting force is attitude as well as palate so the food is far-reaching but personalised, and fresh so that it fits in with the way we live. It’s a way of celebrating summer while it lasts, and extending it into the months beyond. Forever Summer has the practical appeal of a cookbook as well as the aspirational lure of a travel book, the sort one might flick through longingly in winter, dreaming of much-needed sunshine.
