It's easy to imagine following a hectic workday with the soothing, restorative foods that fill this charming pink and pistachio-hued volume from Lawson (
Nigellissima). Lavishly photographed by Oikawa, creator of the excellent food blog Nordljus (nordljus.co.uk), the book contains 125 easy recipes (e.g., pork buns, Indian-spiced cod, leek pasta bake) grouped in unconventional categories such as Quick and Calm, Dine, Breathe. Standout dishes include zesty salads, hearty stews that practically cook themselves, delectable dips and spreads to serve on toast, and unpretentious breakfasts and desserts. Recalling Australian titles by Donna Hay, Bill Granger, and Belinda Jeffery, the volume often features seafood, lamb, pasta, vegetables, and Indian and other Asian flavors.
VERDICT Home cooks who love planning relaxed meals by whim will be well served by Lawson's latest, which offers a winning selection of recipes for all occasions.
