I love Nigella.I love her books.I love her style, and her heart.She writes like an angel.She's brave and she's good.Her recipes work!Of course, I bought this book. And there is plenty that is good in it. But I think it's important to at least be able to say that there are some things which are not so good - specifically, the layout is gratingly difficult to follow, there are not enough pictures ... and there's a really noticeable amount of recycling from her other books. (She identifies each repeat - so my issue isn't with Nigella's integrity. It's just that I'd rather have a somewhat smaller book with all new material.)If you're buying your first Nigella book or looking for one to give as a gift, I would recommend her classic "Baking & The Art Of Comfort Cooking," - not "Feast."
