October is not just for Hallowe’en but also breast cancer awareness month for the charity Breakthrough. Breast cancer is a devasting disease for women (and sometimes men) and their families; the earlier it is detected, the greater the likelihood of survival. Breakthrough believe this disease can be beaten by fighting on three fronts; research, [Read on...] 
She’s back! I’ve been touched how many people have tweeted and emailed to ask where Forever Nigella had disappeared to.

Four ladies making croquembouche in front of a TV film crew. [Read on...] 
Packed with frozen yogurt, gluten free baking, drinks and raw food treats this book is full of surprisingly appealing healthy goodies. [Read on...] 
I’m going to go all mysterious on you now. I’m not able to show you my tasty frittata yet, for reasons which will later be explained… [Read on...] 
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...] 
After our recent mixer-off challenge on Vanessa Kimbell’s BBC Northampton radio show, we pre-recorded a cake pops show too. This will be broadcast between 9 and 11 on Easter Sunday morning [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...] 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...] 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...] Image credit: Kevin and Amanda At the end of January I started what I hope will be a monthly feature on Maison Cupcake, a top 10 of my favourite eye catching posts of the month. Although I’m a sucker for additional work for myself, I thought you’d get a lot more out of this [Read on...] A spring clean just once a year is too stressful, far better to keep on top of things little and often. So one of my resolutions for 2011 was to hoover out my in-box with various stories I’d been meaning to share but which were never going to make a post of their own. [Read on...] 
French toast seems to be a generic term for eggy bread… you’d expect eggy cake to be a bit rich but I’m pleased to report that this was not sicky in the least and with a genereous coating of egg, made for a delightful winter breakfast. [Read on...] Thank you to everyone to who took part in January’s Breakfast Club… here goes with the round up, slightly later than planned. It has been a rather full-on week! You can checkout the details of the February Breakfast Club here with regular host Helen at Fuss Free Flavours where the February theme is “Breakfast [Read on...] Challenge: To seduce us all with chocolate using any Nigella recipe or adaptation (see notes below). Wearing of black satin dressing gowns to cook in the dark by fairy lights is positively encouraged. [Read on...] 
Now Nigella Lawson’s Rapid Ragu may sound a darn sight more stylish with it’s panetta and canned puy lentils but it’s not a million miles from those meaty (and slightly freaky) pasta sauces I used to cook up on the kind of cooker that now belongs in the Geffrye Museum. [Read on...] 
When December concludes with an inflated Violet Beauregarde style waddle, January 1st follows with a hand banging forehead Homer Simpson intoned “D’oh!” at the sight of the scales. Moreover if several fitness and dieting related companies approach you to talk about their products it’s time to bite the bullet – or the rice cake as [Read on...] Forever Nigella. Share culinary moments dabbling with the domestic goddess and exercise the voluptuous depths of Ms Lawson’s heaving repertoire. [Read on...]
