Spinach Baked With Ricotta and Nutmeg Here is my Italian version, you could say, of creamed spinach. Actually, it tastes rather like the ricotta and spinach mixture that's used to stuff pasta; of course, given the ingredients, this is sca...

Spinach Baked with Ricotta is #RecipeOfTheDay! This is the mixture, give or take, often used to stuff pasta, but it’s wonderful as a dreamy side-dish. I think of it as an aromatic Italianate take on creamed spinach. www.nigella.com/recipes/spin...

Food is such an important part of both identity and connection. This book truly celebrates that, and is a work of art, too. As Felicity Spector (who wrote the Forward) so beautifully puts it: “to create art during war is to create the future”.

Oh, my heart!

Thank you!

Oh yes!

That makes me very happy!

I must get it sorted out somehow

Honey Pie This is adapted from the Salty Honey Pie from the Four and Twenty Blackbirds Pie Book. I haven’t fiddled much with the ur-version — why mess with perfection? — but mine does have an easier-to-make, no...

#RecipeOfTheDay is Honey Pie, my honey pies! Although gratefully inspired by Four & Twenty Blackbirds in New York, I make my version with a stress-free, no-roll, pastry/dough: you simply mix olive oil, milk and flour together in a bowl and press it into your tin. www.nigella.com/recipes/hone...

That’s wonderful to hear!

Cheesy Chilli I can't count how often I find myself stirring a pan with some mince in it. Not that this is anything to apologize for: it's easy, quick and comforting. I could probably measure out my life in chilli ...

#RecipeOfTheDay is Cheesy Chilli! The heat, not ferocious, is supplied by chorizo sausages, and they infuse the beef mince with their richly scented spiciness, which is in turn creamily tempered by the cloud-like clumps of mozzarella added at the end of cooking. www.nigella.com/recipes/chee...

Thank you so much!

Can you not stop them by pressing the little x at the top corner?

I think the Korean red pepper paste, Gochujang, would do the trick!

I’m sorry!!

Tortilla Pie This recipe for an easy, throw-it-all-together weekday supper or bolstering weekend breakfast comes from my long-time kitchen companion, Hettie Potter, and very grateful I am, too. Think of this as a...

#RecipeOfTheDay is Tortilla Pie! Well, I say pie, but what I mean is this: you get two soft tortillas, line a round ovenproof dish with one, cover with cheese and ham, crack in an egg, top with the other tortilla, add a squiggle of hot sauce, bake — then devour! www.nigella.com/recipes/egg-...

It’s not quite, but I do love a quesadilla!

That is just fabulous, Dale – I’m so thrilled!

Me too, now you come to mention it!

Welsh Cakes I feel that if I’m talking about Welsh Cakes, I should really introduce them first by their proper, Welsh name, Picau ar y maen, which simply means “cakes on the stone”, and the stone being the flat g...

As is only right and proper, Welsh Cakes are #RecipeOfTheDay, with thanks to Heulwen Williams who let me play with her granny’s recipe. Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 www.nigella.com/recipes/wels...
