Nigella Express

I have about a zillion cookbooks, so I hardly ever feel I need another.  My kids gave me Nigella Express for Christmas and I turned out to be wrong wrong wrong!  I don't see how I got on without this cookbook before.  The recipes are so fast they come together in the blink of an eye and every single one I've tried has been totally fantastic.  If you are in an indulgent mood I highly recommend whipping up the leftover croissant french toast (for dinner as Nigella suggests - what a lovely wicked treat!) The recipe is buttery and creamy and custardy and totally fabulous (the slug of bourbon doesn't hurt).   Her grilled cheese (now who on earth thinks they need a recipe for grilled cheese?) is a fast satisfying comforting new twist on an old favorite and paired with the mango chutney salad slaw turns a meal that might feel a wee bit unhealthy into an anti-oxident laden feast. All in all...a real find.  Fast, lovely food you actually want to prepare and eat.
