Nigella: At My Table

Nigella Lawson serves up five irresistibly easy dishes, recipes which combine the comfort of the familiar and the exuberance of the new. Nigella rustles up her favourite weekend breakfast special, wonderfully light surefire-success waffles. She shares her go-to recipes for laidback entertaining: Beef and Aubergine Fatteh, accompanied by bulgar wheat with flaked almonds and nigella seeds. Thats followed by her passionfruit ice-cream cake, which is a dream to eat and a doddle to make. And late night inspiration comes in the form of a toasted Brie, Parma ham and fig sandwich.

Another serving of irresistible dishes as Nigella shares some of her go-to favourites. For the perfect start to the day theres a breakfast inspired by her university days, fried bread and tomato hash. A speedy meal comes in the form of a simple and tasty pasta dish with anchovies, tomatoes and mascarpone. Nigellas friends are treated to a vegan feast, with a rambunctiously vibrant utternut and sweet potato curry served with her coriander and jalapeno salsa. That is followed by a moreish lemon tendercake served with blueberry compote, which was inspired by a trip to Kansas City.

Nigella cooks more warming, comforting and inspirational recipes. Perfect for winding down at the end of a long day, theres a cosy supper of chicken with red grapes and marsala, followed by a deeply divine sunken chocolate amaretto cake with crumbled amaretti cream dolloped alongside. For a dish thats as simple to make as it is rewarding to eat, theres Nigellas mussels with pasta, and just as delicious is her autumnal radicchio, chestnut and blue cheese salad. Her egg tortilla pie with a crisp crust, soft yolked eggs, salty ham and melted cheese is a pleasure to behold.
