Crab Mac 'n' Cheese This is the most luscious of treats: rich, to be sure, but somehow delicate at the same time. Smoked paprika and crab (a 50/50 mixture of both white and brown meat) give an almost honeyed depth to the...

I’m so pleased!

I’m so sorry, Tracy. Sending you a virtual hug right now. I do hope you find some comfort and calm

The mascarpone lightens it!

I’m so thrilled to hear that! Thank you, Janice

St Pancras station this evening. The Bayeux Tapestry is coming! Through the tunnel (but not on Eurostar). Making the journey on dry land, unlike when it went from Canterbury to Bayeux in the 1070s.

And a very special #CookbookCorner shoutout for ‘The Science of Baking: Everything You Need to Know to Create Perfect Sweet and Savoury Bakes, Every Time’ by Matt Adlard!

This week’s #CookbookCorner stars ‘Dinner At Mine? New Inspiration for Everyday Ingredients’ by Kate Young! Read more about it and get her recipe for Anchovy and Thyme Focaccia right here:

That looks lush!

Saffron Orzotto I regard this orzotto — think risotto but made with barley, 'orzo' being the Italian for barley — as a potato substitute, that's to say as a starchy accompaniment to a roast chicken or ham or bowl of...

#RecipeOfTheDay is Saffron Orzotto, that’s to say an almost-risotto only made with pearl barley rather than rice - and minus the stirring. This is a gorgeous side dish, and one that that can be made ahead. Perfect with stews or roast vegetables – or whatever you want! www.nigella.com/recipes/saff...

Thank you so much for your lovely words

Well, it makes sense: the seasoning of stuffing

Cumin Seed Cake It occurred to me — while cleaning out my spice drawer, a task I soon abandoned — that it might be interesting to use cumin in place of the caraway in a traditional seed cake. It really works: the toa...

We can fall into such rigid ways of thinking about which herbs and spices are for savoury food and which for sweet, but these can be satisfying challenged. Allow me, then, to present #RecipeOfTheDay, in the fine form of this Cumin Seed Cake! www.nigella.com/recipes/cumi...

I’m so thrilled!

Thank you so much. That means everything!

Meatballs with Orzo Orzo pasta is a non-negotiable staple in my kitchen. Simply dressed in butter and salt, and maybe a dusting of nutmeg or grated Parmesan, or indeed both, it often serves at my table as a substitute fo...

I regard all food as comfort food, but #RecipeOfTheDay would score high by any metric: it’s Meatballs with Orzo! I even find the mindless repetitive action of rolling the little meatballs calming, though you may, of course, choose to buy ready-rolled meatballs. www.nigella.com/recipes/meat...

This week’s Guest Recipe from the #CookbookCorner archive is the 3pm Oat Biscuits from that wonderful book SIFT: Elements of Great Baking by Nicola Lamb!

Chocolate Banana Muffins I tend to think of muffins as a grab-and-go refuelling treat or something you'd make for a weekend breakfast, but these look so darkly elegant, especially in their matching dark-brown, tulip-skirted p...

Wonderful, Dale!

You mean you’re not actually screaming yet?

Brown Butter Colcannon There’s not a form of mashed potato that doesn’t speak deeply to me, but this Colcannon with Brown Butter is just on another level. The colcannon itself doesn’t really veer from the traditional Irish ...

I mentioned mash yesterday and, as it happens, #RecipeOfTheDay is a particularly gorgeous form of mashed potatoes: Brown Butter Colcannon! www.nigella.com/recipes/brow...
