I first discovered Nigella Lawson when her show, Nigella Bites, aired during the late night hour on Style, sometime in the early months of 2002. I instantly fell in love with her approach to food, as well as the gorgeousness with which the show was filmed. I also made a point of getting my hands on a copy of the accompanying book, also called, Nigella Bites, as soon as I could. I have to admit that I don't cook from this book all that often, although when I have the recipes have always fairly easy and very reliable. However, I love to sit on the floor in front of my bookcase with it and flip through. Her descriptions of the dishes that come before the actual recipe are akin to reading some of the best fiction out there, and the pictures are so very drool-worthy. If you don't want to invest in this book, I recommend checking it out of the library and bringing it home, just to page through it. A warning though: it is best to read this book when your kitchen is fairly empty, otherwise you may want to leap up and start preparing whatever dish you happen to be reading about at that moment.
