"Forever Summer" is an irresistible and wide-ranging book of summery recipes that can be eaten at any time - from scrumptious Italian antipasti and Greek mezze to Spanish cuisine, from barbecues to beach picnics, from Moroccan roast lamb to Mauritian prawn curry, from the traditional strawberries and cream feel of an English summer afternoon to Indian-summer evenings at home, from light lunches to seductive suppers; and with a selection of unusual icecreams and melt-in-the-mouth puddings to die for. This gorgeous book, written with Nigella's characteristic flair and passion, is all about easy cooking, and easy eating, for days when we want to conjure up a mood of sunny expansiveness. |

Nigella Lawson's ravishing new book, "Nigella Bites", is full of mouth-watering recipes, many of which are new and different, but all of them are characterised by being uncomplicated and original. The Nigella formula of fashion-flouting comfort food with knobs continues with American Pancakes with Wafer-Bacon and Maple Syrup, Chicken Soup with Kniedlach, Italian Sausages with Lentils, Whitebait or Chocolate Fudge Cake; yet there is room too for more sophisticated fare such as Thai Yellow Pumpkin and Seafood Curry, Bitter Orange Ice-Cream and Bagna Cauda. The chapter titles include All-Day Breakfast, Comfort Food, TV Dinners, Rainy Day, Trashy and a host of other daily delights. |

Not simply a book about baking, "How to be a Domestic Goddess" centres on the deliciously gratuitous nature of baking that makes it such a therapeutic pastime. The range of recipes is actually very broad. From cakes of every variety, to chewy cookies and muffins, savoury pies, tarts and flans. The section on breads covers bagels, buns, Continental-style breads, pizza and focaccia, while the chapter entitled "Domestic Goddess's Larder" includes recipes for low-effort chutneys, curds, preserves and sauces to bottle. |

Nigella Lawson has long been among the most realistic as well as the most readable of writers on food. "How to Eat" puts the British culinary renaissance into a more useful and realistic context. It takes cooking out of the hands of food professionals and makes good cooking a normal activity by explaining how to cook and enjoy food. The book is neatly divided into categories - cooking in advance, weekend lunch, low fat and so on - each with its own passionate and intelligent introductory essay. Making it the perfect book for anyone who knows that food is more than fuel. |
