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!
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.
Nigella can describe anything and make it sound delicious. And I'm all for things that promote seasonal cooking. A fine addition to anyone's cookbook shelf.
I am not a gourmet and this cookbook is wonderful! Great photos and most recipes are quite easy to put together! Love the watermelon salad!
I love Nigella's books. 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).
Luscious, sensual, pragmatic cooking.
Love it, yummy recipes I can't wait to try, especially some of the deserts, go figure.
