Has anyone noticed I’ve not published anything for two weeks? No? Didn’t think so. I’ve reached a point recently where sitting on the sofa watching Mad Men with my husband is more appealing than writing blog posts until 1am. [Read on...] 
A quick heads up that Forever Nigella 6 has been kicked off by Kat at Housewife Confidential. [Read on...] 
When I said in the last post that I was planning a summer break, I meant from late July, not now! You still have me for a while yet! We have a little ritual in our house, after boring stuff like cereal hoops during the week, Saturdays are boiled eggs and Sundays are bacon [Read on...] 
This cake was initially published here in November 2009. I am republishing it to submit to this month’s We Should Cocoa currently hosted by Chele with the theme “swiss rolls and roulades.” [Read on...] 
Today’s dish is Nigella Lawson’s Golden Jubilee Chicken Salad from Forever Summer but shown on Nigella.com in a turkey version. [Read on...] 
I’m supposed to be blogging two Gwyneth Paltrow recipes today but I thought you might be more interested to hear about the jolly exciting Waitrose Summer Party at the V&A on Wednesday night. [Read on...] 
This is an adaptation of Nigella’s Forever Summer “Summer Crumble”. I’ve simply lifted her apricot crumble out of the dessert dish and into a pastry case. [Read on...] 
Soba Sushi by Fuss Free Flavours Clearspring are a quiet little brand, dotted around the supermarket in separate aisles so that their entire range is rarely seen together. Probably if you saw more of their lines, you’d realise how familiar their products are. Poignantly, on the eve of the Japanese earthquake and subsequent tsunami and [Read on...] 
The Goodyear Blimp will tour the skies in 20 European countries during 2011 to highlight the Goodyear brand at various consumer based activities and events. [Read on...] 
Please go and visit Dom at Belleau Kitchen who will be hosting this month’s Forever Nigella, the theme of which is “Salad Days.” And make sure you check up on Mardi’s Forever Nigella 4 round up due to be posted this weekend at Eat Live Travel Write. [Read on...] 
…but for now let’s prove that La Vita con Nigella e Bella and move on with the show…. so many of you trooped in with your biscotti, zabaglione, spaghetti, it’s quite a feast. Avanti! [Read on...] Somewhere in a parallel universe, a sensible career choice led to me being decked out in chef’s whites, working efficiently in a professional kitchen, knowing what I was doing and possibly showing other people how to do it. Instead, I was docked marks in my home economics GCSE exam for casually blowing bubbles through [Read on...] When I promised it would be “summertime” by the time of the Monthly Mingle round up, a couple of people took me literally and questioned my sanity that April marked the start of summer. [Read on...] Living in London I have no need for hotels. However, if I was a visitor, I wouldn’t follow the crowds to the West End or Victoria. For a special place to stay, the City of London financial district towards the East is a smart choice. Several boutique hotels are within reach; The Hoxton at [Read on...] Ugh. What was I thinking of? The more I think about it, this recipe, whilst it might have tasted good, never had the pedigree to be a good looking blog post from the start. From now on I vow only to decide to bake things that at least stand a fighting chance of being [Read on...] I have not been well in the past 48 hours hence regular readers may be wondering where the rest of my Le Manoir series has got to – I’ll be publishing the garden post tomorrow with the all important patisserie course review early next week. Tonight though I’ve pulled myself from wallowing under a blanket [Read on...] 
I’ve just drowned in Wikipedia, as I often do. Writing this blog post has reminded me of two things, my beloved Italian friend Anastasia answering the phone with an efficient “Pronto!” (meaning “ready!”) and that the favoured supermarket of my childhood was the now sadly defunct Presto (meaning “fast”). Wikipedia has a whole list [Read on...] 
A quick bite of bread today; with yesterday’s Daring Bakers entry and my announcement of the Monthly Mingle tomorrow, not to mention various posts that are stacking up, things have been a bit rushed this weekend. [Read on...] The February 2011 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Mallory from A Sofa in the Kitchen. She chose to challenge everyone to make Panna Cotta from a Giada De Laurentiis recipe and Nestle Florentine Cookies. I had a couple of problems with this challenge. I made the biscuit batter nice and early but it [Read on...] Any notion I had about the inaugural Forever Nigella being a flash in the pan was swept away this month when SIXTY of you were well and truly Seduced by Chocolate for Forever Nigella #2. Without further to-do let’s linger over all our wonderful slinky chocolate smothered entries. You may like to take the [Read on...] This month’s theme is Italian. For Forever Nigella #3 “Ciao Italia” you may submit any Nigella recipes for Italian dishes or any showcasing Italian ingredients. [Read on...] Long haul travel is not my thing so the likelihood of me visiting Indian or Bali is remote, less still to go there to pray or meditate. The food however, the food, I am perfectly willing to travel in my mind’s eye via exciting things on my plate. [Read on...] 
Today I ground up some last few large chunks of praline to create a fine pink dust and stencilled it onto these macarons. An unexpected consequence of doing so was… [Read on...] |
