EVERYDAY NOVELLI is full of recipes that look and taste delicious but are easy to recreate. From weekday breakfasts summer smoothies and winter white chocolate croissants to indulgent Sunday brunches, quick lunches, impressive dinner party dishes and even tea-time treats and midnight snacks.
Make the most of seasonal ingredients and find recipes for the days when you want an immediate food fix perhaps some flash-fried scallops as well as those indulgent dishes when you want to spend some time in the kitchen, like a warming and slow-cooked French onion soup. Each recipe includes hints and tips that Jean-Christophe has picked up over the years, and will be simple and straightforward to follow.
With more than 100 recipes and as many beautiful colour photographs, EVERYDAY NOVELLI is a book to treasure but it is also a book to cover in butter and flour as you cook from it day after day after day

I ordered this book last week, I was in two minds about buying it as there were no reviews for it yet. I have tried two or three Novelli recipes in the past and I enjoyed them, even though they were slightly time consuming. Anyway, I took a chance, I was hoping for simple, quick weekday meals...as well as some that are more time consuming dishes (which I tend to do more at weekends). I'm going to try my best to describe the book. I've listed some of the recipes below:-
Breakfast & Brunch- Wake-up Smoothie, Flemish Tart, Baked Spiced Clementines, Poached Salmon, Leek & Blue Cheese Quiche, Brioche, Spiced Aubergine Wrapped in Parma Ham and Royal Egg Flan Trio. I enjoyed the Smoothie and the Brioche and although there were some nice ideas I wouldn't make most of them for breakfast, not on a weekday...maybe a weekend lunch.
Lunch- Baby Squid, Chorizo, Black pudding, Anchovy & Poached Egg Salad, Confit of Sole Andalou, Sweet Curried Seafood Stew With Beer, Crème Legere Monique, Chou Farci. Again, not sure how many of these recipes I would actually cook for lunch.
Dinner- Honey Roast Pumpkin Soup (I tried this the other evening and it was very tasty) Salmon en Croute, Merlot- braised Oxtail with Pan-fried Ricotta Gnocchi (also delicious) Choco Pot Kahlua (loved the Choco Pot) Slow Braised Honey & Cider Caramelised Pork Belly. Just a few of the recipes included.
There is also a section for Late Suppers and Repertoire. So even though the recipes I have tried have been tasty, In my opinion this isn't everyday food (not for me anyway). Most of the recipes I've tried I did over the weekend, when I had more time free (being a busy working mum). The book say's 'Helping you cook for every meal of the day and every day of the week' maybe it's just me, but I don't think this book is for everyday...Weekends YES, Dinner Parties YES. Some great recipes but this isn't everyday cooking for me.

I agree with the previous reviewer that the title is a bit of misnomer and this is such a shame as I understand how it might open the door to disappointment: some of the recipes here are nowhere near "shortcut" or "quick and easy" and a more suitable title might have been something like "Novelli anytime" as any time you feel like sprucing up your daily fare this book will show you the way.
The recipes are very good and extremely well explained. The time they are supposed to take in preparation and cooking is very clearly stated at the beginning of each recipe so it is easy to decide whether we have time for it that day or not.
There is a great selection of recipes and interesting suggestions for variations. I won't give any example as the previous reviewer did that very well, but I would like to add that everything is very doable, this is not 3* restaurant over elaborate food but "just" very very tasty food with a Novelli twist and no shouting. It might require some more time than standard everyday food but it is definitely worth it.
What I also liked is that unlike the latest trend in "celebrity" cookbooks which heavily splash beaming pictures of the creature over very few pictures of the actual food, the focus here is clearly on Novelli's food. The pictures are great and JCN is there of course but he never stands in the way of his food and this is how a cookbook should be.Yes, I know, I am not fifteen anymore (sigh!)and have grown into an old bore who actually buys cookbooks for the recipes, not the pretty cook...
The preface (supposedly?) written by Maman Novelli sets the tone: the book is not about "me a celebrity chef", but about a man and his passion for food which we are lucky to be able to share thanks to this very good cookbook.

This is a really nice book to cook from with a great combination of special occasion recipes along with things you can whip up on a weekday with store cupboard ingredients. The photos are plentiful and look really good; some are more "artsy" than practical.
The only downside if I were to be really picky, is the organisation of the recipes in the book. Once you've had a good look through it though you can easily find what you're after.
