Bought this book thinking it would have more of desserts ...

Reviewed in India on 15 November 2014

Bought this book thinking it would have more of desserts but this one is loaded with more savoury items. Some of the desserts are a repeat from her How to be a domestic goddess. However all in all, it is a Nigella collectible.

Lots of good recipes

I bought this to learn how to brine a turkey. It worked well, however, as a lot of celebrity chefs do - they say to use expensive products like maple syrup. I didn't use that in the brine as far too expensive and so tried to use a syrup alternative. There seemed to be a lot of syrup and sugar goo in the bottom and so not sure it did much? Another recipe for horseradish sauce didn't work as too much cream and yoghurt. It had very little flavour. So ended up using the ingredients but in our own way in order to have horseradish with a bit of cream and yoghurt! Good book in that I like the variety of recipes but be prepared to adapt the recipe to your own tastes.

I couldn’t be without this book. I gave my lovely daughter in law my copy so I bought myself another. Try out the beef recipe, the Yorkshire puddings and the roast potatoes. The old fashioned chocolate cake is a crowd pleaser 🍰

Great and easy to follow

This book is brilliant! I had mainly bought it for her turkey recipe as I've been wanting to try it for years, unfortunately I couldn't find her Christmas book at a reasonable price.
I'm so pleased I bought this though as it not only has her best Christmas recipes, it also covers lots of other events too. She gives a little background on her experiences then the reason why she had progressed the idea.
I was pretty nervous about trying out a new idea for Christmas, but the recipe was very simple to follow and a great success!

This book did not appear To be quite as luxurious as the ones I’ve previously seen in Waterstones it has less glossy photos and slightly smaller print I was a little rough round the edges still clean and legible and with the same excellent recipes I think you get what you pay for very happy with my purchase

Well laid out

Upon receiving this book it was opened and a number of the recipies were explored and it seemed to be well laid out an easy to follow the steps involved until the final product was finished. This gave me the satisfaction that the rest of the recipies were laid out in a simple to follow set of instructions. Obviously, some tasks may take some time to complete, but this has been mentioned and the instruction was placed in the relevant position.

All in all this was a brilliant book in my opinion, and was well worth the money spent on it, I would certainly wholeheartedly recommend it not only for the feasts but for special family celebrations.

Just one word of warning the book is not light, so be aware if giving it as a present.

Greatest Salad EVER

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 March 2011

Verified Purchase

I Love Nigella. I love the book and I'm not kidding, her seasonal salad on page 59 has changed my life. I think I make this salad 2x a week (with loads of leftovers in between) as I'm low carbing (swap splenda for the sugar). It is hands down my absolutely favorite salad EVER. Yes, may sound over the top for a salad (!!) but I'm seriously not kidding. Just roast a turkey breast (or chicken/breasts for that matter)) on it's own, dice it up and add to the salad (and I add a dollop of mayo on the top) and you'll think you've died and gone to crunch heaven. Absolutely fantastic and the family gets to eat the chicken or turkey made with another recipe. The rest of the book has very easy meals to put together for any type meal you want to prepare and her desserts are divine and I can find most of the ingredients which is a huge PLUS when an expat living abroad. Lastly, Nigella obviously eats and enjoys food and it's apparent in her comments before each recipe. She's my absolute favorite.

I love this book and the recipes are delightful. Nigella's humour is enjoyable and she pours her soul into each recipe and provides tips and happy memories. Thanks Nigella.

You can’t go wrong with a nigella lawson receive book. It’s just a shame that the book didn’t arrive with the book jacket. This was not mentioned in the description. A good price though
