The best sort of comfort food: Massaman Beef Curry is #RecipeOfTheDay! I like to cook the beef in advance, let the flavours deepen, and the meat grow tender in the spicy juices, then cook the potatoes in them just before serving. www.nigella.com/recipes/mass...

nigella.comMassaman Beef CurryThis is another recipe inspired by my Thai travels — see Thai Noodles with Cinnamon and Prawns — and I have cooked it many, many times since. It is essentially a beef and potato stew, with all the com...

This week’s Technical Challenge on #GBBO was a simple affair — a good, old-fashioned Bread and Butter Pudding — and my recipe has no bells and whistles, though you can fiddle with it as you like. But, as I said to the bakers, just don’t overwhelm it! thegreatbritishbakeoff.co.uk/recipes/all/...

thegreatbritishbakeoff.co.ukNigella Lawson's Bread & Butter Pudding recipe - The Great British Bake OffNigella’s bread and butter pudding is a truly comforting treat, and a brilliant way to use bread past its best. You can of course introduce additional flavourings and dried fruit if you wish, but this...

Apparently it’s National Apple Day, and I’m willing to go along with it as it gives me the perfect excuse to make my Apple and Almond Cake (which is both #glutenfree and #dairyfree should you be interested, and even if you’re not) most rewardingly #RecipeOfTheDay! www.nigella.com/recipes/appl...

nigella.comApple and Almond CakeIt's astonishing how buttery this cake tastes, given that there is not a gram of butter in it. The flour is replaced with ground almonds — and cooked, cooled, pureed fruit provides moistness and flavo...

My favourite fusion food: Korean Keema is #RecipeOfTheDay! This is a comforting bowl of mince (it could be any meat you want, but here it’s turkey) given a deep-toned fiery boost through the power of gochujang! www.nigella.com/recipes/kore...

nigella.comKorean KeemaKeema is a fantastically hangover-salving dish of spicy (usually lamb) mince; this version uses minced turkey and, more significantly, its heat is provided by the gochujang, the Korean chilli paste th...

#RecipeOfTheDay is Red Roast Quinces! All you do is halve them and give them the low-and-slow treatment in the oven until they’re full of honeyed intensity with just a touch of char: best eaten with a dollop of crème fraîche, sour cream or Greek yogurt. www.nigella.com/recipes/red-...

#RecipeOfTheDay is the comforting Welsh fruited tea loaf, Bara Brith, to be eaten spread so generously with butter that the Danes would call it tandsmør, which is to say, butter spread thickly enough that you leave teeth marks in it after taking a bite! www.nigella.com/recipes/bara...

nigella.comBara BrithI have a particular fondness for Bara Brith, the traditional Welsh fruit-speckled tea bread. My late sister Thomasina lived and worked in Wales, and my first taste of it came courtesy of her next door...

Well, Bread Week certainly proved a bit of a challenge for our bakers on this week’s #GBBO. But in baking, as in life, making mistakes is how we learn. Onwards and upwards!

Chicken Schnitzel — not the breaded kind, just an escalope — with Bacon and White Wine is #RecipeOfTheDay! And a mixture of dry white vermouth and water would work well in place of wine; you could also use just a light chicken stock with a spritz of lemon juice. www.nigella.com/recipes/chic...

nigella.comChicken Schnitzel With Bacon and White WineThis is one of those fast and easy suppers that makes you — and whoever else is eating it — purr with delight. You don't have to use garlic infused oil, but minced garlic is likely to burn. What I'd ...

I’m so sorry, I completely forgot to tell you at the beginning of the month that the UK Kindle edition of How To Be A Domestic Goddess (the title is ironic or, rather, just camp, not a tradwife manifesto) is at the ludicrously low price of 99p all October! I’m afraid this applies just in the UK.

Canadian friends, I can’t help feeling that #RecipeOfTheDay would slot so well into your Thanksgiving dinner. It’s my Sweet Potato Macaroni Cheese! And it would do very nicely for the rest of us too, right now. www.nigella.com/recipes/swee...

nigella.comSweet Potato Macaroni CheeseI’m just going to say it: this is the best macaroni cheese I’ve ever eaten. I don’t feel it’s boastful to say as much, as the greatness lies not in any brilliance on my part, but in the simple tastes ...

#RecipeOfTheDay is Om Ali! Should this be unfamiliar to you — and it’s not as well-known over here as it deserves to be — just think of it as a kind of Egyptian bread-and-butter-pudding, only without the eggs, and with filo (or sometimes croissants) in place of bread www.nigella.com/recipes/om-ali

nigella.comOm AliI first ate this at Ali Baba, an Egyptian restaurant in London that the great Claudia Roden took me to about 30 years ago, and have loved it ever since; it found its way into my second book, and I've ...

Midweek Treat: #RecipeOfTheDay is my Ginger and Walnut Carrot Cake! It’s not a traditional carrot cake, but it is my favourite carrot cake: a homespun, one-layer version, perfect with a cup of tea. www.nigella.com/recipes/ging...

nigella.comGinger and Walnut Carrot CakeThis is very different from the richly sweet, loftily layered and aerated American original. While it is in some senses far more reminiscent of an old-fashioned, slightly rustic English teatime treat,...

#RecipeOfTheDay offers a blissful combination of the savoury, subtly sweet and the tangily sharp: it’s Pappardelle with Butternut and Blue Cheese! If you’re unfortunate enough not to like blue cheese, I’d say feta or ricotta salata would be fitting substitutes. www.nigella.com/recipes/papp...

This ancient Greek figure from the 2,500 year-old Douris Cup looks uncannily like someone working on a laptop! 😲 💻 He’s actually writing with a stylus on a hinged wax writing tablet! The technology has changed, the posture has not! 😂 Altes Museum, Berlin 📷 by me
