Nigella prepares a dark and deviant liquorice pudding, Sardinian sun-dried and toasted couscous, and a butterflied leg of lamb and baby aubergines with oregano and roasted red onion.

Nigella prepares her take on a classic light and sunny yoghurt pot cake, a sausage meatball supper, squid and prawns with marjoram and chilli, and a tiramisini.

Nigella prepares a sumptuous feast of lamb chops with mint, chilli and golden potatoes; ruby red plum and amoretti crumble; farro risotto with mushrooms; and chocolate pasta with a dark butterscotch sauce.
