|summary=A varied, usable, cookable collection of every-day recipes that offers some seriously good pickings along some offerings that, although probably great in their class, don't quite rock everybody's sauce-boat. The production qualities of the hardback are very good and if Nigella's style appeals buy this, definitely in hardback. If you are beyond Nigella, buy it for your child.

Nigella Lawson's latest offering is subtitled ''recipes from the heart of home'', which is a very vague title whose significance (undoubtedly clear to those who watch the TV versions) I fail to decode. All cooking is done in the kitchen after all. But I suppose coming up with interesting titles for general collections of recipes is not that easy, so I'll leave it at that.

[[The Lazy Cook's Family Favourites by Mo Smith]] has a more orderly selection of everyday food. It's hard to beat the old classics for inspiration, and you can't go wrong with [[Great Food: A Taste of the Sun by Elizabeth David]]. Perusing [[Appetite by Nigel Slater]] might make the 'Kitchen'-style recipes unnecessary for some readers.
