'Parte dell'equilibrio della vita sta nel comprendere che giorni diversi richiedono modi di mangiare diversi...' Indipendentemente dall'occasione, il cibo - sia prepararlo che mangiarlo - dovrebbe sempre essere un piacere. Simply Nigella si inserisce nei ritmi delle nostre vite in cucina con ricette per niente complicate, rilassate eppure sempre appaganti. Dalle cene veloci e in tutta tranquillità (salmone al miso, curry di cavolfiore e anacardi) alle idee per dire addio allo stress quando cucini per tanti (teglia di pollo con arancia amara e finocchio), fino alla gioia immediata di una ciotola da gustare rannicchiati sul divano (noodles thai con cannella e gamberi), questo è cibo che fa star bene, sempre e comunque. Che tu abbia bisogno di trovare un momento per prendere fiato alla fine di una lunga settimana (costine all'asiatica), coccolarti con qualcosa di dolce (pavlova al limone, cocottine di cookies con gocce di cioccolato) o svegliarti con una colazione che ti dia la carica (granola tostata all'olio d'oliva), il nuovo libro di Nigella è pieno di ricette destinate a diventare le tue preferite. Simply Nigella è l'antidoto alle nostre vite piene di impegni: una celebrazione serena e gioiosa del cibo.

Nigellissima, like the Italian cooking from which it takes its inspiration, is a celebration of food that is fresh, delicious, and unpretentious. Here Nigella Lawson serves up 120 straightforward and mouthwatering recipes that are quick and easy yet elevate weeknight meals into no-fuss feasts.

“It was when I was sixteen or seventeen that I decided to be Italian. Not that it was a conscious decision . . . No: I simply felt drawn to Italy,” writes Nigella. And so it was that before she was a Food Network star and bestselling cookbook author, Nigella found her way to Florence, where she learned to cook like an Italian. Indeed, Italian cooking is trademark Nigella: light on touch but robust with flavor.

With beautiful color photographs to inspire, Nigellissima has all the hallmarks of traditional Italian fare in its faithfulness to the freshest ingredients and simplest methods. From pasta and meat to fish, vegetables, and, of course, dolci, this cook’s tour has something for every mood, season, and occasion: Curly-Edged Pasta with Lamb Ragu is the perfect salve for a winter’s night, while tangy and light Spaghettini with Lemon and Garlic Breadcrumbs takes just minutes to prepare. Meatzza, the favorite at Nigella’s table, is a meatball mixture pressed into a pan and finished with traditional Margherita ingredients—or whatever you may have on hand. And the versatile Baby Eggplant with Oregano and Red Onion works beautifully as a starter or side or as dinner sprinkled with ricotta salata or crumbled feta. Here, too, are Green Beans with Pistachio Pesto, Roast Butternut with Sage and Pine Nuts, and fluffy Mascarpone Mash, Nigella’s twist on mashed potatoes. Never an afterthought, Nigella’s low-maintenance “sweet things” include Instant Chocolate-Orange Mousse; light, doughnut-like Sambuca Kisses; and One-Step No-Churn Coffee Ice Cream, to name just a few.

Nigella believes that every ingredient must earn its place in a recipe, and she gives tips and techniques for making the most of your time in the kitchen. For example, a stash of sweet vermouth saves you from opening a bottle when you need just a splash. If a recipe calls for the juice of a lemon, Nigella uses the zest, too—that’s where its force and fragrance lie. She guides you to stocking your pantry with a few supermarket ingredients and shows you how to make the most of them for spontaneous meals that taste boldly Italian.

Nigellissima is a love letter to the pleasures of cooking—and eating—the way Italians do. With a nod to the traditional but in Nigella’s trademark style, here are recipes that excite the imagination without stressing the cook.

At last, a diet so obvious, it works! Literary agents are famous for lunching, and there is no more famous agent than Ed Victor. If Ed can lose twenty pounds in three months without changing his lifestyle, so can everyone! The Obvious Diet recognizes that the rules you make yourself are the rules you are most likely to stick to. It shows you how to devise an eating regimen that is based on avoiding your own particular weakness, whether that is carbohydrates, animal fats, or sugar. It works because, rather than imposing a rigid plan from on high, it allows you to mix and match elements from different diets to suit your own lifestyle.

If you have tried many diets over the years but found they didn't work, than this is the book for you. With ideas and advice from Ed Victor's celebrity friends and clients, the book provides anecdotes and inspirational tips to help you stick to your plan. Mel Brooks, Anne Bancroft, Tina Brown, Sidney Sheldon, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and many more contribute their recipes and words of wisdom. Dieting has never been this interesting! Millions of Americans are overweight and want to do something about it. If a gourmand like Ed Victor can do it, so can you!

'Delizie divine' è la versione italiana di 'How to he a Domestic Goddess' - il libro che ha reso Nigella Lawson non solo una star, bensì un punto di riferimento nella cucina internazionale. Le sue pagine raccontano in modo realistico e perfettamente riuscito l'esperienza del 'baking' - ossia tutto ciò che nel mondo anglosassone fa riferimento alla cottura in forno. Dolci classici e sofisticati, biscotti, dessert da fine pasto, ma anche pane e pizze, torte salate e prelibatezze da preparare con e per i bambini. Le ricette sono tantissime, tutte fonte di ispirazione da copiare o da manipolare per creare qualcosa di unico e personale. Nigella, a differenza di molti food writer famosi, spiega ogni passaggio con semplicità e serenità, mettendosi nei panni di chi - come lei - è una donna che lavora, madre di due bambini e moglie incaricata del portare in tavola la cena.

Nove capitoli - di cui uno dedicato al Natale - fanno di questo libro un volume utile per chiunque desideri mettere le mani in pasta. Non si tratta di essere una dea in cucina, ma di imparare a sentirsi come se lo si fosse.
