‘What and how we cook can make our lives easier, make us feel better and more alive’
Whatever the occasion, food – in the making and the eating – should always be pleasurable. In Simply Nigella, one of the nation’s most loved cookery writers taps into the rhythms of our cooking lives, with 125 recipes that are uncomplicated, relaxed and yet always satisfying.
‘Part of the balance of life lies in understanding that different days require different ways of eating...’
From quick and calm work-day suppers (Miso Salmon, Cauliflower & Cashew Nut Curry) to stress-free ideas when catering for a crowd (Chicken Traybake with Bitter Orange & Fennel), or the instant joy of bowlfood for cosy nights on the sofa (Thai Noodles with Cinnamon and Prawns), here is food guaranteed to make everyone feel good. Whether you need to create some breathing space at the end of a long week (Beef Chilli with Black Beans), indulge in a sweet treat (Lemon Pavlova, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pots), including fabulous dairy-free and gluten-free recipes, or wake up to a strength-giving breakfast (Toasty Olive-Oil Granola), Nigella’s new cookbook is filled with recipes destined to become firm favourites.
