Nigella Christmas comprises reliable, practical, easy-to-follow recipes and reassuring advice about planning and cooking ahead, presented in a gorgeous glittering package which will make this the ultimate gift to yourself and for family and friends.

Illustrated with over 250 fabulous full-colour photographs by Lis Parsons (photographer of the bestselling Nigella Express), including method photos and lavish spreads, Nigella Christmas is in a new, larger and irresistible format. It includes everything from scrumptious Christmas cakes and puddings, to quick and easy homemade presents (biscuits, preserves and other standbys) and edible tree-decorations, recipes for feeding friends and family over the holiday season with minimum stress and maximum enjoyment (cook and freeze ahead or slow-cook in the oven), as well as Christmas party food and drinks. And, of course, exciting and inspiring variations for the Main Event itself - from traditional super-juicy turkey, festive ginger-baked ham, special trimmings and the Ultimate Christmas Pud, all the way to the special vegetarian Christmas feast, by way of goose or pork-and-cranberry options and a Prodigious Pavlova...

Her cakes, as always, gladden the heart, and her 'At-a-Glance Christmas Dinner Countdown' helps take the stress and strain out of the Big Day itself. Nigella Christmas will surely be a perennial favourite, the book we will all reach for - for inspiration and reassurance - as soon as the Christmas lights start going up...

Works well in electronic version

I like Nigella’s approach to food and cooking. She’s not a chef, but she does have extensive experience in cooking and worked in Europe in her younger days. She brings a warmth and passion to everything she prepares and this is reflected in the dishes she presents. There’s no arty farty half size portions with a smear if jus to embellish. Or fanciful desserts that make look pretty but take an age to perfect.

This is good, honest home cooking. Something everyone can tackle, regardless of experience and be certain the end result will be delectable. I enjoy the way she writes about food and in this volume, she looks into Christmas traditions and festivities.

I prefer hard copy cookery books, but spotted this electronic version on offer at 99p and couldn’t resist a bargain. It works well on kindle, but it’s even better on a tablet where the beautifully co,used photos are set off well. Hyperlinks work well and it’s easy to flit from one section to another.
It’s packed with ideas and although I have literally hundreds of cookery books, this is a welcome addition, full of new ideas. I love it.

All Year Festive Brilliance That will Never Be A Turkey.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 February 2009

Have to be honest, I'm smitten. I just love Nigella since I saw, then bought, Nigella Express. Why? Well probably it's because I was recently diagnosed with Coeliac Disease, and needed to think about cooking differently. I had a kitchen re-fit, found Nigella, and she showed me the way. So instead of food being 'illness management' a joyless, stressful challenge, I've adopted her sensuous, indulgent, life affirming attitude and just go with her flow. Bliss.

There are 2 things I love about about both of these books.
1. Everything recipe is beautifully illustrated.
2. It's so easy to create gluten free recipes! She seems hardly to use any flour, most sauces are 'mix+boil+serve' rather than roux based. Gluten free info is added where necessary.

'Christmas' is stacked full of delicious treats, snacks, shortcuts and tips on preparation, presentation and 'function' management, aimed at you having as enjoyable time as your guests and family. However, this is not just a Christmas book. It's a manual for year-round entertaining. For instance, her Christmas Puddini Bobbons have resurfaced. Made with a shop-bought gluten-free fruitcake decorated with marzipan hearts as Valentine (Puddini) Bonbons and are likely to become Birthday Bonbons as well. :)

I cannot recommend this highly enough as one of the best presents you can give yourself for next Christmas. Once you've dipped in and wallowed in Nigella's sumptuous wisdom, you'll be buying it the following year as presents for your friends you value the most.

Writing this makes me think, I must take a gander at Forever Summer.....

Worth the purchase.

I have the kindle version so I can make notes and bookmark pages. My mum loved the rocky road so that was a hit! I would have liked to have known in the CRANBERRY, ALMOND AND HONEY GRANOLA recipe what size baking sheet to use. I didn’t like the POMEGRANATE MARTINI and the ingredients are expensive so I think it would have been been a good idea to have more recipes using the ingredients such as Pama pomegranate liqueur - fortunately I found a delicious recipe using 2 parks Pama and 3 parts apple cider with a cinnamon stick and for the Grenadine I noticed on reviews on a supermarket website that said the Grenadine syrup tastes nice in milkshakes.
