Warning: Do not read if even the slightest bit hungry.
Those put off by the overly blousy sexy Nigella of recent tv series should not be.
This is why the women became famous in the first place. She really seems to write cook books for women. Real women who love the ida of cooking, who understand the sheer tactile joy that can be had from whipping up a batch of meltingly warm cupcakes for the menfolk.
I don't mean to be all unreconstructed here - but there is definitely a kind of power in home baking. Whether it is the sheer awe it inspires in all the chaps in my house or just walking around the house in a lovely warm cloud of vanillla, whatever it is ...that sense of warmth and mystery is found in this book.
Nigella gets it, she quantifies it and she has pulled together some lovely recipes so you can repeat it. Its a great book.
DON'T even look at it if you are contemplating a diet.
Nigella's site - the recipe section is fun - if only for the seriously random recipes and comments some people have posted
