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!

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.

This one is not as good as Express but any of Nigella's books are quite good. Easy recipes, great ideas...

I will never forget the first time I saw Nigella Lawson - flipping through channels on a late, rainy night, I was stopped short by the sight of this curvaceous, gorgeous woman holding a stick of butter in each hand, extolling the virtues of bacon. Oh, the gleam in her eye, like some ancient goddess

of bounty, inviting us cold and dieting masses to stop denying ourselves the oldest of pleasures. I was mesmerized. I feel the same way - enchanted - whenever I read one of her delightful cookbooks. Do the recipes turn out well? Not so much, to be perfectly honest, but if this book is a failure as a technical manual, it is a success as a guide to inspiration.

I didn't find this as interesting as other Nigella books. It could have been the poor OverDrive ebook that took ages to load after each recipe. (I've never had this problem before.)
