Summary: Now Nigella has become time proven, a cookery staple.
Comment: Admittedly, I am a cookbook addict. I collect all sorts, those from far flung locations and those classic and more recent tomes that offer themselves up to my ever expanding library bookshelf space. My children will curse me upon my demise for this very reason.
I have never regretted purchasing one of Ms. Lawson's books.
How To Eat was my long term companion and is still regularly called upon for both pleasure reading and kitchen duty. Very much the first tome that one should include if one is curious about this authoress. I initially spent less time with her Domestic Goddess offering, but as time past I was surprised how often I reached for and depended upon it.
Nigella Bites was long waited for, seeing as I live in the States, but well worth the final reward. I was slightly disappointed in the fact that not ALL recipes shown on her television series are depicted within the book. These are truly missed. And since not even the UK version of her DVD's have all recipes represented within I end up hopefully scouring How to Eat to see if they are shown in this reference. (MANY recipes are, particularly those shown during the first season of Nigella Bites.)
But, despite my petty grumblings, how pleased I was with Forever Summer. I love the program, and relish the book. Really it is my second place choice after How to Eat -- very difficult to beat this opus.
The Caramelized Pineapple with Chocolate Sauce is now requested by both family and friends -- very simple, and you are a culinary hero without much effort. Other favorites include the Za'atar Chicken, Butterflied Chicken with Lemon and Rosemary, Hasselback Potatoes, Coconut and Chilli Salmon Kebabs, Chicken and Cashew Nut Curry (my husband never touched curry and had two bowls of this offering!), Mauritian Shrimp Curry, Black and Blue Beef, Thai Crumbled Beef in Lettuce wraps (been to PF Chang's? These are far better.), and PLEASE try the Anglo-Italian Trifle (those in the States use the soft cake like lady fingers for the cake portion). Oh, and before I stop exuding here, do be certain to try the Korean inspired Spareribs, very good.
I could go on and on, and be sure to realize that I have a husband with rather limited taste buds and two children currently aged 11 and 8 that most approve of all of Nigella's recipes -- well, at least 90 percent of them. (If you have a junior set, refer to the Gooey Chocolate Puddings in How to Eat -- a classic for kids.)
Give this book a spin. My Mum always said to me that if you get at least two or three 'keeper' recipes out of a cookbook well then, it was money well spent.
This book far exceeds that caveat.

Summary: Summer cooking
Comment: This has fast become my favorite cookbook ever. I'm a huge fan of summer veggies and dishes, but I live in NYC and a grill isn't exactly an option for me. These dishes are the next best thing. The pictures are gorgeous and all of the recipes I've tried have been amazing so far. A few are a bit too exotic for my taste, and she likes to do a lot with lamb and beef and I don't eat red meat, but the recipes are so good, I would almost be willing to revert to being a carnivore. The fish recipes are superb, and I don't even like fish that much. And the deserts...I ran out and bought an ice cream maker after flipping through the desert section. The white chocolate mousse with passion fruit and raspberry is my absolute favorite. I pour it into martini glasses and indulge.

Summary: Not That Good
Comment: Of course the book is gorgeous and the author's writing is delicious, but as far as the recipes go - no way is it worth more than 2 stars. I have her other books and they're great. She should have given this one a bit more time.
