30m

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.

Rags to Riches

Oct 21, 2010

30m

Truly heavenly meals don't have to start life with painfully expensive ingredients. Nigella's got a whole host of sublime recipes up her sleeve that hail from far more modest beginnings. Like South Indian Vegetable Curry - made from the wilting contents of a Monday morning fridge raid, decadent Chocolate Chip Bread pudding AKA stale bread reincarnated Nigella style. Beer Braised Pork Knuckles with Caraway, Garlic, Apples and Potatoes - totally divine and cheap to boot.

Ep 5

Suppertime and the Cooking is Easy

Oct 28, 2010

30m

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.

Don't Knock It Till You've Tried It

Nov 4, 2010

30m

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.
