Comprehensive, informative, and engaging, Nigella Kitchen offers feel-good food for cooks and eaters that is comforting yet always seductive, nostalgic but with a modern twist—whether super-fast exotic recipes for the weekday rush, leisurely slow-cook dishes for weekends and special occasions, or irresistible cakes and cookies in true “domestic goddess” style. Nigella Kitchen answers everyday cooking quandaries—what to feed a group of hungry teenagers, how to rustle up a spur-of-the-moment meal for friends, or how to treat yourself when you’re home alone—and since real cooking is so often about leftovers, here one recipe can morph into another . . . from ham hocks in cider to cidery pea soup, from “praised” chicken to Chinatown salad. This isn’t just about being thrifty; it’s about being creative and seeing how recipes evolve.

With 190 mouth watering and inspiring recipes, including more than 60 express-style recipes (30 minutes or under), Nigella Kitchen offers plenty of choice—from clams with chorizo to Guinness gingerbread, from Asian braised beef shank to chocolate key lime pie, from pasta alla genovese to Venetian carrot cake. In addition, Nigella presents her no-nonsense kitchen kit must-haves (and, crucially, what isn’t needed) in the way of equipment and magical standby ingredients. But above all, she reminds the reader how much pleasure there is to be had in real food and in reclaiming the traditional rhythms of the kitchen, as she cooks to the beat of the heart of the home, creating simple, delicious recipes to make life less complicated.

Gorgeously illustrated, this expansive, lively narrative, with its rich feast of food, is destined to be a 21st-century classic.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

The many fans of Lawson’s television shows will welcome this newest entry in the ever-growing series of cookbooks the ingenious and pneumatic kitchen diva has produced. Lawson is at home with any number of different cuisines, including Japanese, Italian, South African, Mexican, Australian, Thai, Korean, and her own native British cookery. In the last category she presents a spatchcocked Cornish game hen and intense gingerbread enriched with Guinness stout. She favors hearty meats such as lamb shanks and ham hocks. And she has special affection for dishes that one can easily serve at parties, ennobling even humble “pigs in blankets” with some decidedly sophisticated puff pastry. Recipes emphasize meticulous preparation and freshness of ingredients. The book includes a series of useful kitchen tips that Lawson has collected over the years. They range from tea-stain removal to easy pasta measuring. Occasional Briticisms may puzzle American readers, but they are far from insurmountable. --Mark Knoblauch

She does it again: Dependable collection of "Oh, let's make THIS!" recipes

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2010

Verified Purchase

Ordinarily I control my cookbook urges. With a collection of cookbooks that has overrun the available shelf space (cookbooks squished sideways on top of others, some spilling onto the floor, others taking over bookshelves originally allocated to "travel" or "history"), I. must. control. myself. I force myself to take a cookbook out of the library first, to ensure that I want to actually cook from it more than once. If a cookbook survives three recipes, I give myself permission to purchase it.

Not Nigella's. The moment I saw this book was on sale, I pre-ordered it. Doing so was the right decision.

Unlike some of her recent cookbooks, about Feasts or Christmas or Cooking Good Food, Fast , this has less of a specific theme except maybe "comfort food meets your real-life frenetic schedule." The first half of the book, called Kitchen Quandaries, leans toward serving your "dinner in 30 minutes" needs, with chapters like "Hurry up, I'm hungry" and "Off the cuff" (pantry suppers). The second, Kitchen Comforts, is full of recipes for when you're in the mood to chop and stir, segmented into chapters including "The solace of stirring" and "the bone collection."

Her recipes do not disappoint. (Well, they almost never DO disappoint, which is why I could order this book with such confidence.) So far, I've made two meals, both from the fast-food side of the book. "Lemony salmon with cherry tomato couscous" was quick to throw together but sure didn't taste that way; it was good as a cold salad, too, when I wanted lunch the next day. Her "speedy seafood supper" won't make me throw out my recipes for the putter-worthy cioppino, but it was 30 minutes from "What's for dinner?" to pouring the fish stew into a bowl and grabbing a hunk of bread. Even better, that recipe started with a pound of frozen mixed seafood from Trader Joe's; I didn't have to remember to defrost anything (a common "oh drat!" moment in this household). I'm making this week's shopping list now, and am trying to decide if I'll make her "spatchcocked Cornish hen" (with sultanas and pine nuts) or "pork and apple hotpot." It might be both.

Nigella includes a few extra features in this cookbook that I really appreciate. One is a chapter devoted to shortcuts and other things that make life a little easier. In many cases these are obvious tips, at least for someone who's been cooking for 30 years, but in this case I had a few, "Oh, I'll try that!" moments. (I had already learned from her TV shows how handy it is to use kitchen shears to cut up bacon or scallions directly into the pan; if that's all you need to cut up, why dirty a knife and cutting board?) Plus, she has a very good balance between recipes that feed 6-8 and those that serve one or two.

Another thing I like is that she has a postscript to many recipes that tell you what you can do with the leftovers. Some leftovers are intentional, of course, such as poaching chicken with the goal of turning leftovers into one of the chicken salads she suggests. Others, though, answer my "What the heck do I do with THIS?" questions, such as her suggestion to turn leftover Risotto Bolognese into "risotto burgers" with cheese melted on top, served with peas. I wish more cookbooks did this.

This cookbook has already earned its spot on the cookbook shelves, and I've had it for only a week. I expect you'll feel the same way. Highly recommended.

Nigella Cooks --Recipes from the Heart of Home--Fabulous Feel-Good Food To Make Life Less Complicated And More Pleasurable

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2013

Verified Purchase

Busy wife, mother and career woman, Nigella Lawson shares her feelings about her kitchen, how she works in it and her family favorite recipes. Her "Introduction--Or what the kitchen means to me and why I live in it,"--is charming.

Nigella starts with her kitchen caboodle--what is needed and what is not. Included also is "My kitchen Gadget Hall of Shame."

In "Kitchen Confidential," she lists her own shortcuts and practices. She enjoys good food, simply prepared-- because after a day of working, her family wants dinner fast.

"A kitchen should never look decorated; it just needs to feel lived in." Her chatty style is engaging and the lovely photos draw the reader/cook in.

Recipes are indexed and there is a special "Express Index." Recipes that take 30 minutes or under from first move to plate!

Nigella Kitchen belongs in every kitchen, no matter the expertise of the reader. Great book for newlyweds, seasoned cooks and cook book collectors. This is one volume that will not sit on the shelf. PS I was so excited when my package arrived from Amazon--I got an autographed copy!

Nigella Rocks

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2012

Verified Purchase

I bought this book as much for Nigella's superb writing as much as for the recipes themselves. I find myself reading this in bed, putting post-its on recipes to try and just enjoying what she has to say - I particularly loved the "Cook It Better" chapter, where she describes her inability to throw anything away. There are recipes here for stale bread (Panzanella, bread pudding), vegetable odds and ends (throw them into a green curry), subpar strawberries (make crumble). I especially enjoyed her describing "making a banoffee cheesecake rise out of the sad ashes of a blackening bunch of bananas." So outrageous you can't help but admire her audacity. I have made her Asian Beef stew recipe, which I found a bit too generous with Chinese cooking wine and rice wine vinegar. Chinese people seldom use more than a dash of each, she calls for cups of the stuff. Still, she doesn't pretend to be authentic, and freely advocates adjusting to one's tastes. Agreed. The other recipe I tried - and man I wish I didn't - were her Sweet and Salty Nut Crunch Bars. SO. GOOD. It might sound simple, but taste and see - this is really a case where the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts. Try it and see - every sweet, salty, crunchy, crumbly bit of it. NOT something you make on a diet. OK, I gotta go now. Those bars are calling my name already.

The Photos - as always - Are Perfect - Love Nigella's Books

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2013

Verified Purchase

For some reason when this book came out I didn't
perceive it as a recipe book - duh!!

I don't know why.

I passed it over thinking it was suggestions on
what to have in your kitchen, like some kind of
promo for her products. No idea where I got that.

So glad it came across my path again.

I've never, ever been one to collect anything,
but I've GOT TO have all the Nigella books.

I love the stories connected to the recipes.
I look at them as a 'good read' and love, love,
love the photography. I sure wish she would
re-do How To Eat and add photos.

This book has a recipe for Grasshopper Pie
- if you've not had it, give it a try
even just for the sake of nostalgia.

Delicious and yet pretty simple recipes. Perfect.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 22, 2021

Verified Purchase

I bought this second hand a while ago from the Amazon mkt place for some ridiculously low price and it must be the biggest bargain ever. The recipes are absolutely perfect for now i.e. during lockdown. You're at home working away, stuck on yet another Teams call. But then you eventually finish and can go downstairs and make something out of this book that is really tasty and yet relatively simple and quick to make. It really is helping me get through these dark times.

Dust jacket is absent and there is damage on the binding!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

the seller write: Condition: Used - Very Good - Book has been read but is in excellent condition. No missing or damaged pages. Maybe some identifying marks on the inside cover. Quality guaranteed from the largest seller of used books online.

But it's not really EXELLENT Condition!!! The book came without dust jacket, and more important there is a damage on the binding. This LITTLE particular was omitted from the seller! if i would have known I'd put more pounds to have a undamaged book! The choice is in the hand of the buyer, but if there aren't honestly and clear specifications we can't make the right one!
Surely I'll not buy again from these seller again. I'm really displeased.
N.B. I have try to put a photos of my EXELLENT condition book, but it was not possible:There was an error processing your file...

Buy it - love it!

I have had this heavy book now for some time and it is one of my most used cookery books - and I have a lot of books! Its getting rather tatty from its constant use!

So far we have tried about 30 of the dishes and loved them all - they are straight forward, little fuss and great for during the week. It provides endless inspiration! There is a great mix of weekday and weekend treats and eats, both sweet and savoury.

The crustless pizza is regularly made, so is the frittata, we adore the marmalade cake, oh and the cherry and coconut loaf is one of my most popular bakes. The mixed meat pilaf is excellent for clearing the fridge, pasta alla Genovese is a perfect summer evenings meal.

One of my favourite Nigella books!

mouthwatering recipes, great writing and photos

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 13, 2010

Verified Purchase

I have been watching the series on TV and didnt know how much i would like this book because I feel that Nigella is becoming a bit more eccentric with her recipes. I love Domestic Goddess and How to Eat but I was unsure if there would be enough in this book that I would like. I dont mind a splash of creativity but sometimes i can't help but think she puts weird combinations in dishes just for the sake of just trying to be different.
Having said that, when this book arrived I needn't have worried because although there were some unusual things in here that dont appeal to me, there is plenty that does. There are some really mouth watering recipes. As well as ideas for meals (which i think the tv show concentrates on alot), there are some good solid baking recipes as well; like Apple and Cinnamon muffins. Lots for meat eaters and also for vegetarians like myself. There is even a blackberry vodka! So there is something for everyone and lots of enthusiastic, intelligent writing from Nigella and some great photos that make you want to try the dishes.
A great addition for any cook and Nigella fans wont be disappointed.
