Book description
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...
