Seasons & Episode
Nigella cooks sumptuous roast seafood for famished friends after work; a steaming bowl of pasta with salami for ravenous kids; her soothing 'mother's praised chicken'; a decadent chocolate peanut butter cheesecake for the hungry hoards; and a restorative Thai chicken noodle soup.
Nigella has an armoury of short cut recipes to ensure there is no waiting around. Super-fast roast lamb with rosemary and port, rapid roastini and show-stopping, instant orange and blackberry trifle are perfect for a fast, fabulous after-work dinner with friends.
Nigella Lawson conjures up more dazzling dishes from the heart of the home, finding inspiration anywhere and everywhere with delicious results. Recipes include the fabulously kitsch grasshopper pie - the brainchild of a night sat in front of the telly, and an easy, elegant, spatchcocked poussins with baby leaf salad and sourdough croutons - a treat for two from travels in San Francisco.
If you're home alone and deserving a treat, simple spaghetti is the answer. If you have people coming over and are pressed for time - Spanish chicken with chorizo and potatoes is the work of moments, with the leftovers turned into dreamy breakfast quesadillas. There's Nigella's no-fuss fruit tart and for evenings when you need speed, ease, and restoration, there is lemony salmon with cherry tomato couscous. For those moments when cooking is beyond you, a chip kebab is the answer.
No time to bake is no problem with Nigella's Irish oaten roll - fast and easy to make, they are instant comfort, and instant gratification. Salty and sweet may not sound like a match made in heaven, but Nigella's Sweet And Salty Crunch Nut Bars are totally irresistible. Plus, take a leap of faith with her inky Black Squink Risotto, as dramatically spectacular with its black rice and sauteed squid topping as it is simple to make. There's also an unusual slow-cooked melt in the mouth Asian Braised Shin of Beef topped with a crisp hot and sour shredded salad.
Nigella shares the secrets of food and flavours she just can't live without. Lemon plays the starring role in a deliciously moist lemon polenta cake, the perfect teatime treat or dinner party dessert. Fresh pink garlic takes centre stage in a simple take on a French classic, chicken with 40 cloves of garlic - in true Nigella style it's one hundred per cent one-pot wonder.
Nigella uses every trick in the book to make food that's delicious and as effortless as possible. Nigella shows a speedy take on a French classic, tarragon chicken with steamed green beans - it’s the work of moments and makes a perfect after work supper.
Nigella is putting her very own stamp on some seriously fabulous and favourite recipes. First up, a luscious Italian dessert, tiramisu, made even more incredible with hazelnut liqueur. Then it's her home-style version of Jamaica's classic jerk chicken with coconutty rice and peas.
It's time for some seriously delicious eating and in Nigella's kitchen every mouthful is devilishly good. First up is her fabulous, fiery, red jumbo chilli sauce with tortilla chips, washed down with a cool and classic Americano cocktail. If it's ease you need, she's got the answer - it's greed-gratifying roast duck and potatoes with a simple salad.
