Nigella bakes a fluffy, white, no-knead bread, which she uses to sandwich her crispy fried chicken, accompanied by pickles and kimchi. She also takes the fear out of making fish stew and makes a daring cherry flambe.

Nigella makes a layered chocolate and peanut butter cake, a colourful rainbow dish of vegetables and spiced bulgur wheat, suitable for vegans, vegetarians and anyone who wants a tasty dish with minimal effort.

Nigella champions the anchovy, using it to create an elixir to accompany seared steak or crisp, red chicory. She also shakes up a lemon blossom cocktail and creates a pasta dish of spaghetti with colourful chard and chilli.

Nigella's grandmother's recipe for creme caramel inspires a simple but elegant dessert of caramel custard. She also makes a pasta dish with a spicy sauce and brown butter colcannon with black pudding meatballs in tomato sauce.

Nigella makes crab macaroni and cheese, her "mine all mine chocolate cookies", a comforting one pot dish chicken with orzo and is inspired by the Italian torta di riso and the very British rice pudding to make a rice pudding cake.
