Lemon Polenta Cake | Nigella's Recipes | Nigella Lawson
WEBThis cake is a sort of Anglo-Italian amalgam. The flat, plain disc is reminiscent of the confections that sit geometrically arranged in patisserie windows in Italy; the sharp, syrupy sogginess borrows from the classic English teatime favourite, the lemon drizzle cake. It is a good marriage: I love Italian cooking in all respects save one — I find their cakes both …
Victoria Sponge | Nigella's Recipes | Nigella Lawson
WEBA Victoria Sponge is one of the simplest cakes there is and quite one of the best. Plain, airy cakes, sandwiched with sweet jam and smooth, whipped cream: it is no wonder that it has been such a favourite through the generations. My version tinkers only a little with the traditional model: I use a mixture of flour and cornflour/cornstarch in the sponge, which …
Chocolate Chip Cookies | Nigella's Recipes | Nigella Lawson
WEBIt seems strange that I’ve managed to write seven books without one plain chocolate chip cookie (by which I mean a plain cookie with chocolate chips in it). It’s true that the Totally Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie made an appearance once, and it’s only buoyed up by its success that I’ve felt confident enough to create this one. For here’s the thing: you’d …
Chilli Jam | Nigella's Recipes | Nigella Lawson
WEBAlthough I call this chilli jam, I don't mean by this that it's the sort of thing you'd spread on your toast at breakfast (though smeared inside a bacon sandwich, it could be a real help one hungover morning) but rather a chilli jelly — chelly? — that glows a fiery, flecked red and is fabulous with cold meats or a cheese plate. And just a small pot of it makes a …
Slow Roasted Garlic and Lemon Chicken - Nigella.com
WEBPre-heat the oven to 160°C/140°C Fan/gas mark 3/325ºF. Put the chicken pieces into a roasting tin and add the garlic cloves, lemon chunks and the thyme; just roughly pull the leaves off the stalks, leaving some intact for strewing over later.
Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake - Nigella.com
WEBThis is, for me, the quintessential chocolate cake: melting, luscious and mood-enhancingly good. A food technologist would explain this in terms of "mouthfeel" but I don't know quite how that makes me feel. I often describe this cake as a sort of idealised chocolate cake out of a packet, which doesn't sound so very inviting either. But what I mean by this, is that …
Coffee and Walnut Layer Cake - Nigella.com
WEBNeither of my grandmothers, nor indeed my mother, was a baker but this cake is nonetheless the cake of my childhood. When I was little, I used to make it for my younger sister's birthday every year, beating away vigorously with my bowl and wooden spoon. This, however, is a simplified version: everything just goes into the processor. the cake I made …
Pickled Red Cabbage | Nigella's Recipes | Nigella Lawson
WEBSoft, soused, slow-braised red cabbage has been part of my Christmas table forever. I will never forsake it (and do check out the tangy version with cranberries) but I have come to the conclusion that this pickle is now every bit as essential to my season’s eatings. It’s barely any work to make and is so much better than the pickled red cabbage that you …
Homemade Scotch Egg | Guest Recipes | Nigella's Recipes | Nigella …
WEBPut the 4 whole eggs in the air-fryer basket and cook them for 11 minutes, which will be just enough to soft-boil them. Meanwhile, prepare a bowl of ice-cold water. Once the time is up, transfer the eggs to the icy water and leave to cool (about 5 minutes). Once cool, peel them and set aside. In a bowl, mix the sausagemeat, dried herbs and ...
