As soon as I saw this recipe published in The Guardian last year I knew I wanted to try it. There is something that is visually enchanting about the ruby red slices against the golden yellow of the fish and chips. Credit of this recipe goes to journalist Ash Sarkar’s Twitter, and was recently published […]
After receiving Nigella Lawson’s Nigella Christmas as a Christmas gift this past year, I was browsing excitedly through it, imagining all the things I’d be making for Christmas 2015. A quick chat with Mel revealed that she owned the same book (no surprises there!). Mel mentioned to me that there was an excellent cookie recipe in […]
Summer is just around the corner. The weather is heating up, the days are getting longer and it’s the perfect time for ice-cream! It’s also the perfect time to use my new ice-cream maker! I have been thinking about buying an ice-cream maker for a few years. For a long time I thought I didn’t […]
I noted this recipe with excitement when I first bought How to Be a Domestic Goddess; I have fond memories of peeling chestnuts hot from the open fire as a child and savouring the effort and sore fingers with delight at the nutmeat within. The recipe calls for unsweetened chestnut puree; presumably a tinned substance […]
This cake is delicious. I was expecting a dense cake, and was surprised by its light and fluffy texture. I made this on a lovely lazy Sunday afternoon. When I first leisurely flicked through Nigellissima, I was instantly drawn to this recipe. It reminded me of the Vegan Chocolate Cake I love.If I had to […]

As promised, I have indeed made it time and time again. Whenever there are ripening bananas in my house, there is bound to be banana bread. Not that you […]
I love Chicken Teriyaki. There was a small Japanese restaurant in the Melbourne CBD that sold the most amazing (and affordable) chicken teriyaki. It was rare that you could finish a bowl. There has never been a store-bought marinade that could compare. I’ve been meaning to try this recipe from Nigella’s Kicthen for a long time. […]
Today is the last day of the XXX Olympiad. I know many cooks have found inspiration in the cuisine of the host nation, England, for their celebratory baking. I have taken a more patriotic approach, though ironically the base recipe comes from Nigella Lawson, one of England’s best loved cooks! These ‘Green and Gold’ cupcakes […]
I love the Victoria Sponge Cake. There is something so simple, yet so alluring about it. A light, lovely, sponge cake filled with jam, fruit and cream is a perfect reminder of summer. The first recipe I ever made from Nigella Lawson’s How to be a Domestic Goddess, was the Victoria Sponge. I fell in […]
