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...

I almost forgot to post that today (28th February) is #GlobalScouseDay and to celebrate, here's @nigella.bsky.social's Lobscouse recipe.

Plus, as an additional extra, here's Nigella looking like a proper #Scouser - cooking with rollers in her hair!

I’m not entirely confident that this icing recipe would work with white chocolate, but if there’s a white chocolate icing recipe you’re comfortable with, do use that. The cake you’re planning sounds lovely!

Of course! I’m honoured

Caribbean Creams This is a reworking of my grandmother's Barbados creams: we're going the way of the coconut and the banana. It's scarcely a fancy pudding, but sometimes it can be sweetly comforting to have something ...

Caribbean Creams are #RecipeOfTheDay! They take 5 mins to whip up, then need at least 12 hours (and up to 24) in a fridge for the magic to work, giving you a creamy, coconutty, rum-spiked and banana-bottomed dessert to serve effortlessly when required. www.nigella.com/recipes/cari...

The important thing is that you use the blender goblet or some sort of jar into which the stick blender fits very snugly.

Thank you so much, Tracy – it’s lovely. And I hope an enjoyable, relaxing weekend is possible for you, too

It really does work! But I’m sorry to hear this

Golden Garlic Mayonnaise My very earliest kitchen memories are of making proper mayonnaise by hand under my mother’s strict instructions; making it any other way has always felt sacrilegious. Besides, the result always seemed...

I was brought up to make mayonnaise by hand with just a bowl and a whisk, and it’s only #RecipeOfTheDay – the glorious Golden Garlic Mayonnaise – that made me feel good about using machinery. This takes scarcely a minute with a stick blender and it’s the real deal! www.nigella.com/recipes/gold...

Sure do! 🍳

The normal blades!

You have made me happier than I can say! Thank you, Mary.

Oh yes!

I’m afraid so!

That’s a relief! I think that handmade mayonnaise and jarred mayonnaise are really two separate entities, with very different characteristics

I didn’t mean to shame you! I’m so sorry. I’m just not a Hellman’s person. I think I need mayo to taste eggy

You’re joking, right?!

#RecipeOfTheDay is the modest and simple Butternut and Pasta Soup that I used to make for my children when they were little, but can’t stop cooking for myself now when I’m in need of a bowlful of something plain and sweetly sustaining. www.nigella.com/recipes/butt...

Chicken With Chorizo and Cannellini Beans This is a proper supper, but a speedy one. And though it's not often I choose chicken breast over thigh, here it is gently poached so stays wonderfully tender, and the fat from the chorizo balances it...

Chicken with Chorizo and Cannellini Beans is #RecipeOfTheDay: so simple to make; so rewarding to eat! Feel free to use any other beans or, indeed, chick peas in place of the cannellini www.nigella.com/recipes/chic...
