Advantages: good photos

Disadvantages: dodgy recipes

I am a keen cook after having lived in countries in Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and the UK and been a member of cooking groups. I also read cookbook reviews and was intrigued at one that claimed that Nigella's recipes didn't work. Never the less, she is popular and the food looks delicious, so today I tried to make Nigella's "Slow roasted garlic and lemon chicken" from her "Forever Summer" book and the result was not good. 2 lemons is too much for only one chichen. The recipe lacked taste (no salt in the dish, only black pepper) but it did look very pretty. As an experienced cook I will try some of the other recipes - doctoring the flavourings as required - but food has to both look and TASTE good.
