?How To Be A Domestic Goddess (Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking)?
By Nigella Lawson

MANILA, Philippines--?The trouble with modern cooking is not that the food it produces isn?t good, but that the mood it induces in the cook is one of skin-of-the-teeth efficiency, all business and little pleasure,? writes Nigella Lawson, English food writer and host of the TV show Nigella Bites.

Pore through her book?s pages, rediscover the joys of being in the kitchen, explore the art of stress-free cooking and pick up some recipes. Whether you choose to bake Nigella?s mother-in-law?s Madeira Cake or her Spanish macaroons on this book will leave you with the realization that making food should be as much fun as eating it.
