NIGELLA KITCHEN - Recipes from the Heart of the Home
By Nigella Lawson
Nigella Lawson's new cookbook, NIGELLA KITCHEN (Hyperion; October 12, 2010; Hardcover) is a return to her signature focus on feel-good food for the way we eat today. Warmly engaging and informative, Nigella's eighth book offers 190 recipes - including 60 that can be prepared express-style in 30 minutes or less - and sumptuous photographs, some of them step-by-step illustrations. Published to coincide with the launch of Nigella's new Food Network television series of the same name, NIGELLA KITCHEN is a welcome resource for both hectic weekday and leisurely weekend cooking.
As Nigella writes, "The kitchen isn't just the room in which I cook, it's the place where I live. There's a dynamism to a kitchen that seems to draw people in. Part hub, part haven, the kitchen is where, I've always found, people speak more freely than anywhere else."
Along with an array of inspired new recipes, NIGELLA KITCHEN serves up answers to everyday cooking quandaries - from how to rustle up a quick meal for friends to what to do about those black bananas. She reveals how to "make leftovers right" by describing how we can transform one recipe into another. There is an entire chapter devoted to chicken, another on delectables for the die-hard carnivore created with full-flavored "on the bone" cuts, and another on the calming qualities of making a wide array of delicious risottos - the ultimate comfort food.
Of course, it wouldn't be a Nigella Lawson cookbook without her "sweet solutions," such as beloved Chocolate Chip Cookies, Rice Krispie Brownies, or Raspberry Almond Bars, not to mention thirst quenchers that include a Lagarita, a Giddy Geisha and a lovely Chocolate Martini.
NIGELLA KITCHEN has something for everyone, including Nigella's kitchen must-haves: no-nonsense equipment and necessary "magical" standby ingredients. Above all, Nigella reminds us all how much pleasure there is to be had in real food and in reclaiming the traditional rhythms of the kitchen.
