Rating: - Lovely...lovely..
I love reading this cookbook. I love how the book has different ideas for different feasts. I made the jewelled cupcakes for christmas. They were really marvellous and looked just like the picture. Everyone who came home during Christmas loved them... they looked fantastic and tasted even better..
Rating: - Feast your eyes!!

In agreement with another reviewer, the chocolate cake section is fantastic!!
Beautifully presented and well worth the money - Buy This Book Now!!!

It seems strange that at times Lawson has been accused of excess for the generosity of her portion sizes, preferences for quality and interesting variation - and indeed her very person. In a world where the gap between starvation and gluttony - usually cheap, synthetic foodstuff - becomes the norm `Feast' opens up a world in which food is homemade, heartfelt and real - a world in which (once we discard our hang-ups and neurosis) a natural balance breaks out - which turns out to be healthier in a much truer sense. As a food writer Nigella Lawson is generous. What could be more pleasurable?
