I am cheating ever so slightly and writing this post in January! Just before last Christmas I caught on the television the end of Nigella Christmas the TV programme. I was inspired with one of her recipes and had to watch. Whilst watching, I reached for my iPad and located Nigella's website
A few weeks later I was in the library and wondered if they had the Nigella Christmas book in. They did and what a whopper as I carried it home.
I spent a few hours reading and enjoying the recipes and pictures. The text is quite like Nigella having a conversation with you, it is like welcoming an old friend. There is a degree of familiarity and I liked that.
Back to the book. The book is a delight. It oozes quality and it is simply one of those books that says pick me up and buy me!

I generally really like Nigella's books, I'll have to see if my library has this one. And Ha!!!! That's what I call scheduling ahead!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love how you planned this ahead for us. Looking forward to your posts.
ReplyDeleteNothing like being prepared! I like Nigella's books too, but haven't seen this one. I've been sorry to see all the trouble she's in at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI will have to look for one of her books at my library as I am not familiar with her works. I'll be looking forward to your posts.
