Forever Summer With Nigella

Más información sobre el libro

Setting a warm, relaxed tone, Lawson presents her latest volume as an ode to summer and freshness, evoking a sense of leisurely enjoyment with friends. Drawing inspiration from southern Europe, the Middle East, and southeast Asia, her collection features simply prepared summer dishes. She begins with Grilled Eggplant with Feta, Mint, and Chilli, where ingredients are rolled inside thinly sliced eggplant. Next, she offers Flatbread Pizzas made with za'atar. Her innovative pastas and salads include Linguine with Chilli, Crab, and Watercress; Watermelon, Feta, and Black Olive Salad; and Shrimp and Black Rice Salad with Vietnamese Dressing. Main courses feature Keralan Fish Curry with Lemon Rice and Porchetta, a chopped pork shoulder cooked with fennel, garlic, and rosemary, served in a ciabatta roll. For dessert, she presents Figs for a Thousand and One Nights, broiled and opened to resemble "young birds squawking to be fed worms," drizzled with rose water, orange water, and sugar. The accompanying photos of both Lawson and the dishes reflect the cool, luscious quality of the recipes.
