Description

Featuring fabulous fast foods, ingenious short cuts, terrific time-saving ideas, effortless entertaining and easy, delicious meals, Nigella Express is her solution to eating well when time is short. Here are mouthwatering recipes, quick to prepare, easy to follow, that you can conjure up after a long day in the office or on a busy weekend, for family or unexpected guests. This is food you can make as you hit the kitchen running, with vital tips on how to keep your store cupboard stocked, freezer and fridge stacked. When time is precious, you can't spend hours shopping, so you need to make life easier by being prepared. Not that the recipes are basic - though they are always simple - but it's important to make every ingredient earn its place in a recipe. Minimise effort by maximising taste. And here too is great food that can be prepared quickly but cooked slowly in the oven, leaving you time to have a bath, a drink, talk to friends, or do the children's homework. Minimum stress for maximum enjoyment. This is a new generation of fast food - never basic, never dull, always do-able, quick and delicious - for the busy lives we lead.

  • Some great recipes in Nigella's inimitable style. Just made her extra chocolaty chocolate cookies and they are amazing. A must have if you are a ran and even if you aren't and are just looking for a new cookbook.

  • I am cooking my way through this book and documenting it on my food blog - I have said before, if I could only grab a few books on the way out of the house, this would definitely be one of them.The recipes are mostly easy and quick...always delicious. But fattening when she uses lots of cream and butter...and that is much of the time. Love this book.

  • I adore this book! I love the way Nigella writes it is welcoming, humble, and witty. When I first got it I read it cover to cover. The recipe for the maple ribs and chicken was requested by my housemates so often I have it memorized. Also her recipe for chocolate pudding will send you into a bliss so deep you may not be heard from for days. Sadly this book is somewhat light on the vegetables, but she has other books that address them more depth.
