Comprehensive, informative, and engaging, Nigella
Kitchen offers feel-good food for cooks and eaters that
is comforting yet always seductive, nostalgic but with a
modern twist--whether super-fast exotic recipes for the
weekday rush, leisurely slow-cook dishes for weekends and
special occasions, or irresistible cakes and cookies in true
"domestic goddess" style. Nigella Kitchen answers
everyday cooking quandaries--what to feed a group of hungry
teenagers, how to rustle up a spur-of-the-moment meal for
friends, or how to treat yourself when you're home
alone--and since real cooking is so often about leftovers,
here one recipe can morph into another . . . from ham hocks
in cider to cidery pea soup, from "praised" chicken to
Chinatown salad. This isn't just about being thrifty; it's
about being creative and seeing how recipes evolve. With
190 mouth watering and inspiring recipes, including more
than 60 express-style recipes (30 minutes or under),
Nigella Kitchen offers plenty of choice--from clams
with chorizo to Guinness gingerbread, from Asian braised
beef shank to chocolate key lime pie, from pasta alla
genovese to Venetian carrot cake. In addition, Nigella
presents her no-nonsense kitchen kit must-haves (and,
crucially, what isn't needed) in the way of equipment and
magical standby ingredients. But above all, she reminds the
reader how much pleasure there is to be had in real food and
in reclaiming the traditional rhythms of the kitchen, as she
cooks to the beat of the heart of the home, creating simple,
delicious recipes to make life less complicated.
Gorgeously illustrated, this expansive, lively
narrative, with its rich feast of food, is destined to be a
21st-century classic.
