Nigella and her style of cookery have earned a special place in our lives, symbolising all that is best, most pleasurable, most hands-on and least fussy about good food. But that doesn't mean she wants us to spend hours in the kitchen, slaving over a hot stove.
Featuring fabulous fast foods, ingenious short cuts, terrific time-saving ideas, effortless entertaining and easy, delicious meals, NIGELLA EXPRESS is her solution to eating well when time is short. This new book is every working mother's dream and a joy for everyone who wants to cook but can't seem to find the time. Here are mouthwatering recipes, quick to prepare, easy to follow, that you can conjure up after a long day in the office or on a busy weekend, for family or unexpected guests.
This is food you can make as you hit the kitchen running, with vital tips on how to keep your store cupboard stocked, freezer and fridge stacked. When time is precious, you can't spend hours shopping, so you need to make life easier by being prepared. Not that the recipes are basic - though they are always simple - but it's important to make every ingredient earn its place in a recipe. Minimise effort by maximising taste. And here too is great food that can be prepared quickly but cooked slowly in the oven, leaving you time to have a bath, a drink, talk to friends, or do the children's homework. Minimum stress for maximum enjoyment.
This is a new generation of fast food never basic, never dull, always do-able, quick and delicious - for the busy lives we lead. The Domestic Goddess is back but this time it's instant.

Nigella (the origins of her name are said to be 'made up by her Grandmother', but probably come from either the plant Nigella Sativa, or from Nigella seeds, used in India and the Middle East as a seasoning) Lawson was born in 1960 and one of the UK's most highly regarded food writers.
Not a trained chef, Nigella worked as a book reviewer and food critic, before releasing her first book, How To Eat, in 1998. In 2000 she began to host her own TV series, Nigella Bites. She is known for her flirtatious manner on screen and has been labelled the 'queen of food porn'. Throughout Lawson's television programmes, which are broadcast worldwide, she emphasises that she cooks for her own pleasure, for enjoyment, and that she finds cooking therapeutic. She does not like being labelled a 'Celebrity Chef'.
She has two children to her first husband who died in 2001. She married art collector Charles Saatchi in 2003 and they share a home in Belgravia, London.
