At Home with Nima
Simple and Fresh Italian Food.
Any lover of iconic London restaurants will know Nima Safaei. He is a well-liked and respected restaurateur, and At Home with Nima, Simple and Fresh Italian Food reflects his passion for great food and making that accessible to the home cook.
He discovered Italian food as a young man in London and spending time in Florence with his sister. His enthusiasm for Italian cooking grew and now he is the founder of some of Soho’s most loved Italian restaurants. He’s been serving Soho the finest Italian fare for more than 20 years. 40 Dean Street is perhaps the best-known restaurant and was opened in 2009. It’s the kind of Italian restaurant one hopes for but seldom finds. This is one of my favourite restaurants, not just in London but anywhere in Europe!
At Home with Nima, Simple and Fresh Italian Food is a platform for Nima to reach a broader audience and to introduce them to delicious dishes that will become regular meals on the family table. There is nothing here that would be too taxing for the home cook.
Ethos of generous hospitality
The recipes are well-chosen and tempting and I do have a host of pick-of-the-book dishes which I, and many others, will frequently enjoy here. It’s the Nima ethos of generous hospitality that makes them deliciously memorable.
The book is divided by season and month so it’s easy to find the perfect dish for anything from balmy summer lunches to winter comfort foods. I will likely be cooking all of them but so far I am inspired by Pea and Mint Risotto, Smoked Salmon and White Crab Blinis, Pappardelle with Blue Cheese, Pear and Walnut Pangrattato, Smoked Salmon Ravioli, and the Italian Mule as a twist on a classic libation.
At Home with Nima is the perfect gift for any home cook who is looking for stress-free dishes which work as family-pleasers but can equally be presented as dinner party fare. A book filled with culinary possibilities and mouthwatering ideas.
