Wow!,
By Hard To Please (London England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stuffed Vine Leaves Saved My Life (Hardcover)
I'm not a great cook and tend to buy cookery books that look nice on my shelf, never to be opened. But this book has blown me away. It appealed to my usual cookery book purchasing self - beautiful to look at etc. But, when I got it home and had a quick flick in preparation for finding it a permanent place on my shelves, I was immediately drawn into the wonder of its pages. As others have said, the recipes are mouthwatering and that rare combination of being interesting and tempting but still accessible to the likes of me with my lack of cooking skills. And, what makes it just superspecial are the stories that go with every recipe. They are funny, heartwarming, illuminating views of a wonderful warm family life that revolves around the kitchen. I can't stop taking it out to read more and have managed to successfully cook several recipes already - Maddie's Magic Prawns are my favourite so far. Love it!

Great recipes that really come to life!,

This review is from: Stuffed Vine Leaves Saved My Life (Hardcover)
I bought this book after seeing Nadia Sawalha win Celebrity Master Chef, during which she cooked many amazing recipes. I have always been a fan of the Middle Eastern kitchen, and, sure enough, this cook book includes many great dishes of the Middle East. I love how this is more than a normal cook book, as Nadia Sawalha included many personal stories. Rather than just listing recipes, it's these personal stories about her heritage and family life that really make the recipes come to life. This plus the many great shots of her yummy recipes and of her family make this cook book a great inspiration to have in the kitchen or to give to anyone as a present.

You can tell Nadia really loves food! Me too...,
This review is from: Stuffed Vine Leaves Saved My Life (Hardcover)
This is the only full-price cookbook I have ever bought. I'm fairly new to cooking and on a low budget so I can't afford to spend money on cookery books when the Internet is accessible to me. But this book, which I picked up in a bookshop one day, was so impressive that I splashed out and bought it, cheaper, from AmazonI LOVE food. I have always really enjoyed eating and anyone who has ever cooked for me has commented on how much I appreciate their food. Nadia Sawalha also loves food. She really genuinely loves cooking, eating and feeding others delicious food. Two recipes which convinced me to buy the book are Egg and Twigs and Sage and sausage stuffing which Nadia says she eats "sometimes, only sometimes with creamy mashed potato and red wine sauce". As soon as I read that, I made it my next mission in life to get the ingredients necessary to make that delicious sounding dish which I knew would be a real pleasure to eat! It may or may not be a Michelin star quality recipe or a TV chef style recipe, but it is a delicious, easy, enticing FOOD LOVER'S recipe and that's the kind of food I want to eat and cook for the people I love. The only chef I ever saw who has a real passion for food and eating is Jamie Oliver. Nadia Sawalha's love of all things culinary is staggering in comparison to his. Nadia Sawalha knows well the science of cooking, and she is technically brilliant enough to have won Masterchef, but first and foremost, she is a pure lover of food. As a consequence, she cooks absolutely scrumptious food that I cannot wait to cook and eat too.
