A review by skippy2020
Simply Nigella by Nigella Lawson
4.0
I first discovered the gorgeous Nigella Lawson, when she wrote a food column in Vogue magazine, in the early nineties, and I have loved her food writing ever since. Her cookbooks are always more about the writing than anything else for me, and this one doesn't disappoint on that front. I always find her writing inspiring, making me want to rush into the kitchen and create.
But I find the joy of any cook book is a sum of the combination of writing, recipes, and design for me - and in this, I found the photography is a little lackluster. But the recipes are accessible, and her writing shines through. Not her best, (it's no "How to Eat" or "Nigella Bites") but still a great read, and book that is endlessly useable in it's simplicity.
