Yes we can have TV dinners and "trashy food", just enjoy it. Favourites ? Halloumi with Chilli. Chocolate Lime Cheesecake, Vietnamese Chicken and Mint Salad and the Ham in Coca Cola.  c27858 | Oct 26, 2009 |  There is, I think, only one recipe left that I haven't made from this book, and it's because I don't know which fish to substitute. Every recipe I've tried has been a wonderful success, and it's a very family friendly book, with things like Pasta e Fagioli, Chicken with Chorizo and Cannelini and the Double Potato and Halloumi Bake. The Masala Omelette is one of my favourite breakfasts, and the Chocolate Fudge Cake - enough said! (  )1  Coby | Sep 13, 2009 | This book is a work of art, it is so nice to look at that you forget you are reading a cook book. The pages are think, the images beautiful and the recipes fit for the gods. 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. (  ) Bbexlibris | Jan 11, 2008 | Subtitle: From Family Meals to Elegant Dinners - Easy, Delectable Recipes for Any Occasion. Accompanies the Channel Four series of the same name. Basic recipes. (  ) Elishibai | Jun 3, 2007 | I've so far enver made a recipe out of Nigella's books and been disappointed. She makes food that are to my taste. ( ) isiswardrobe | Mar 25, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0786868694, Hardcover)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 (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:02 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
