Great food is like great sex. The more you have the more you want ~ Gael Greene
And no, these aren’t Joseph’s but are the very, very clever product of my friend Sam’s warp-speed creativity – she is to home industries what Leonardo was to the renaissance; completely unstoppable. Anyway, she happened to see a picture of a rainbow cake during a work presentation and promptly went home and concocted a recipe [...]

This is yet another post inspired by my friend Jenty (no, much as it may seem like it, I’m really not stalking her, we just talk about cooking quite a lot these days). Anyways, she was looking to buy a new cookbook the other day, and I persuaded her to get Nigella Express because I [...]

Calling this a recipe is a bit like calling Paris Hilton an actress – a monumental stretch! It’s really more of a list of things to throw together than anything that could concievably be called a Proper Recipe.

I hope that the rich creaminess of the desert is the loving, rich and comforting end that both emphasises and contrasts against the fruitiness of [...]
Yesterday Sam read the sorry saga of my recent, catastrophic muffin failures (see the muffin misadventures) and mercifully decided to take pity on me. Being the kind person that she is, she left a comment saying that she had a brilliant recipe for Banana and Pecan Nut muffins and would I be interested. That’s a bit [...]

Chocolate Cloud Cake from Nigella Bites
To compensate for the horror of the muffin debacle, I’ve decided to post a foolproof (yup, even I can make this) recipe for a cake so delicious it should require an age restriction, or 3 hail marys, or a savage self flagellation session – some sort of atonement. It is, quite [...]
Flourless Chocolate Brownies (aka THE BEST BROWNIES IN THE WORLD!) from Nigella Express
Before you sneer dismissively at my going gaga over brownies (I mean, seriously, just how girl-scout can I get?), let me assure you that these are no ordinary brownies. No, my soon to be similarly addicted friend, these are the Johnny Depp of [...]
