I am a big fan of Nigella and have all her load published books, but her books are on Earlier my wishlist too. So I bought this one from the year 2001 for my collection, and I have to say I was a little skeptical in the beginning if Nigella's first books can compete with her masterpieces of cooking from nowadays. After Reading - And When It Is About Nigella, it is really reading, not just glancing over the recipes ... so after reading it I was morethan Convinced That this book is as good as all the other books of hers ... maybe just in smaller pages When it comes to comparing with her last published "Kitchen", but it is silent enjoing to read and easy to cook. If you can watch the videos "Nigella Bites" to see the recipes "live", I would very much recommend.
