I am cooking my way through this book and documenting it on my food blog - I have said before, if I could only grab a few books on the way out of the house, this would definitely be one of them.

The recipes are mostly easy and quick...always delicious. But fattening when she uses lots of cream and

Some great recipes in Nigella's inimitable style. Just made her extra chocolaty chocolate cookies and they are amazing. A must have if you are a ran and even if you aren't and are just looking for a new cookbook.

so deep you may not be heard from for days.

Sadly this book is somewhat light on the vegetables, but she has other books that address them more depth.

Almost everything I've made from this we've gone back to again and again. The only recipe I wouldn't rate so far is the macaroni, as the one from the Xmas book is infinitely nicer.

Overall, the effort to results ratio is ideal. Fast, but

Very good food and very good recipes,made wholesome with natural ingredients. Many of the recipes are quite quick to prepare and serve. The recipe photos will have your mouth watering and eager to try the recipe. Well done cookbook.

This has wonderful recipes in it.

Amazingly sugar-loaded. Most of it is fast. Very little is original or interesting.

Read in German translation, which loses Nigella's voice.
