Nigella is now not only the best and most glamorous young home cook in Britain, and a great cookery writer, she's also become a household name. Her first short series on Channel 4 had over 2 million viewers and propelled her from success into stardom. How to Eat sold spectacularly on the back of the first unheralded 5-part series. Nigella Bites is a must-have for every viewer and all her fans. Some recipes are based on her popular Vogue columns, others are new and different, and all are characteristic of Nigella and the ethos of the TV series - uncomplicated, original, fresh, and perfect for the way we live today. They're easy to produce after a busy day at the office, fun to linger over at weekends or to make with the kids, delectable to read about, dreamy to look at and delicious to eat. They include Late Breakfasts, Party Food, TV Dinners, Trailer Trash , Big Lunches, Indoor Picnics, and other delights. Nigella wants her readers and her viewers to enjoy eating and cooking. With her, how could anyone resist!

Summary: Nigella Bites
Comment: This was a great book of recipes. A little too much seafood, as I do not eat this. Apart from that it is great.
Customer Rating:
Summary: with a little time on your hands
Comment: This book is a work of art, it is so nice to look at that you forget you are reading a cook book. 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 right now.

Summary: The Perfect Match to the "Nigella Bites" Nigella's Old Show
Comment: I love Nigella. She seems like such a real person and it definitely comes across on her shows. This book has all the great recipes that I drooled over watching her show and the recipes that I have tried have all been wonderful. The salmon with bok choy and shiitake mushrooms is one of my favorites. I especially like the space in the book where she suggests writing your own cooks notes. It's great!

Summary: Some great recipes, some poor ones
Comment: I own several of Nigella's cookbooks and this one has some great recipes, like the chocolate cloud cake, ham and coca-cola and chocolate-lime cheesecake. But I have had really bad luck with some too. The Southern Style Fried Chicken recipe calls for you to poach the chicken first, which I found overcooks it and leaves you with soggy not crispy chicken in the end. A lot of the desserts are overly sweetened with sugar and I had to cut back on it. Some of the cakes are dry too. I am happy that there are so many gorgeous pics of the dishes so I know what the end result should be. Icould live without the multiple pics of her, though I know that helps the books sell. I also enjoyed reading her short little introductions to almost each recipe. I'd recommend this, but only as a used item to save some $ for more consistently good cookbooks.
