Nigella Bites is the companion cookbook to Nigella Lawson’s popular TV series. The show, and consequently the chapters in the book, are arranged according to the sort of cooking that we might want to do, depending on our life, our timetable, and our mood. This is the food she cooks for her herself, her family, her friends and enjoys with them. In her own words, “The sort of cookery book that’s splattered and scribbled over is the only sort of cookery book I want to write. I’m not interested in barking instructions. This isn’t meant to be a monologue. I want to be there in the kitchen with you; my words are merely my side of the conversation I imagine we might have.” She even includes blank “notes” pages to allow you to include your own thoughts and variations of her wonderful recipes.

This is comfort food at its best; simple to prepare and easy on the palate. “We all get tired, stressed, sad or lonely and this is the food that soothes.”  Whether cooking Pasta E Fagioli or baking Orange Breakfast Muffins, Nigella knows we want minimal fuss for maximum pleasure, and she gets it right every time. This is Nigella up close and personal, from the recipes, the writing to the photographs of her cooking, eating and enjoying her food.
