Lovely...lovely.. - By: D. Mohanani, 16 Aug 2008 
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 & looked just like the picture. Everyone who came home during Christmas loved them... they looked fantastic & tasted even better..
Feast your eyes!! - By: Mrs. C. Smith, 31 Jul 2008 This book is amazing!! Not only are the recipes extremely easy & straightforward (you would expect nothing less from Nigella), but the background to each 'Feast' is interesting & well written.
In agreement with another reviewer, the chocolate cake section is fantastic!!
Beautifully presented & well worth the money - Buy This Book Now!!!
Astoundingly tantalising and scrumptious!! - By: E. Lumley, 11 May 2008 As a cookery book sceptic this book has transformed by attitude towards celebrity chefs. This book has a personal & `down to earth' nature which is really quite endearing. Engaging snapshots & quirky notes make this not only a collection of recipes but an equally enjoyable read. It has never stayed on the shelf long; I constantly find myself delving into its stunning pages which burst with inspiration & wisdom.
Selecting a favourite recipe would not do justice to the many other favourites I would have to leave out; you do really just have to buy it!
Some recipes admittedly take a lot of expensive ingredients but there is just no compromise for the quality flavours which these recipes produce. The use of ingredients however is not unnecessarily extravagant; I do not have a particularly well stocked kitchen & I find that I usually have most of the ingredients.
I would recommend this book; it is a beautiful collection of recipes which have been gathered with care & aptitude. It would make a lovely & appropriate present because of the way it focuses on various celebration foods. This book I'm sure will be a classic, & one which many family favourites will derive from....
'Feast' indeed a celebration of life. - By: Sharmah, 10 May 2008 Life is messy - & to enjoy good food improves things immeasurably. `Feast' is indeed a celebration of life. It seems strange that at times Lawson has been accused of excess for the generosity of her portion sizes, preferences for quality & interesting variation - & indeed her very person. In a world where the gap between starvation & gluttony - usually cheap, synthetic foodstuff - becomes the norm `Feast' opens up a worldin which food is homemade, heartfelt & real - a worldin which (once we discard our hang-ups & neurosis) a natural balance breaks out - which turns out to be healthierin a much truer sense. As a food writer Nigella Lawson is generous. What could be more pleasurable?
`Feast' represents generosity & sharing, things we witnessin the quality of ingredients, her quantities & serving sizes but none so much asin the books narrative. We are amply provided for with a `little something to read' between sessionsin the kitchen. Hearty, eloquent, cheering - almost self effacing at times - but above all voluptuous (some may consider verbose but the rest of us find ourselves able to devour every word with alarming ease.)
The recipes containedin this book are adaptable & successful. This reader labours under the temporary encumbrance of a dreadful kitchen but even here Lawson's recipes prove triumphant!
No veg! - By: anon, 08 May 2008 
Good for cakes & deserts but on the main course it seems to lack something. Where are all the veg?
