But yes, these are good recipes from which to springboard ideas.<br /><br />RS - I think this may be her weakest book thus far (but for her "weak" is better than several others).

Nigella Express. Have never attempted any of her recipes though.

If you need to watch the accompanying TV show to properly make the dish, it's actually a con and not a pro.<br /><br />jjasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05152931556148877553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16665987.post-87856729153122775152010-11-29T04:46:05.323-05:002010-11-29T04:46:05.323-05:00Jasmine!

I've been flipping thoguh kitchen for the last month or so, and have been, on the whole, pretty happy with the results...but,like you there were a few recipes that needed last minute fixes...i always scribble changes in the margins of my cookbooks to remind me the next time i try something...the pro here is that the tv series is being aired so i can see some of the practical changes Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08588892251394768692noreply@blogger.com
