Nigella Kitchen
The Domestic Goddess is back, with a new series of kitchen creations to suit all.
Episode 1 - You Know It Makes Sense
Nigella cooks sumptuous roast seafood for famished friends after work; a steaming bowl of pasta with salami for ravenous kids; her soothing 'mother's praised chicken'; a decadent chocolate peanut butter cheesecake for the hungry hoards; and a restorative Thai chicken noodle soup.
Episode 2 - Hurry Up, I'm Hungry
Faced with that familiar cry of 'Hurry up, I'm hungry!', Nigella has an armoury of short cut recipes to ensure there is no waiting around.
Super-fast roast lamb with rosemary and port, rapid roastini and show-stopping, instant orange and blackberry trifle are perfect for a fast, fabulous after-work dinner with friends.
For the teenage hordes demanding dinner at the double, there is crustless pizza - an effortless crowd-pleaser, guaranteed to keep everyone happy.
For lunch in a flash there is Nigella's favourite - fail-safe, succulent Japanese prawns, cooked up and devoured in mere moments.
You can even party against the clock with Nigella's no-stress, make-it-yourself chicken fajitas feast, washed down with luscious largaritas.
Cooking, eating and entertaining in a time crunch will never be a problem again.

Episode 3 - Inspiration Everywhere

Nigella Lawson conjures up more dazzling dishes from the heart of the home, finding inspiration anywhere and everywhere with delicious results.

Recipes include the fabulously kitsch grasshopper pie - the brainchild of a night sat in front of the telly; and easy, elegant, spatchcocked poussins with baby leaf salad and sourdough croutons - a treat for two from travels in San Francisco.

Plus there's spaghetti with Marmite - an incredibly simple supper for adults and kids alike, found whilst flicking through a favourite recipe book; and almost-instant Korean calamari, a delectable dinner dreamt up while indulging in another favourite pastime - shopping.

Episode 4 - Rags to Riches

Truly heavenly meals don't have to start life with painfully expensive ingredients. Nigella's got a whole host of sublime recipes up her sleeve that hail from far more modest beginnings.

Like South Indian Vegetable Curry - made from the wilting contents of a Monday morning fridge raid, decadent Chocolate Chip Bread pudding AKA stale bread reincarnated Nigella style.

Beer Braised Pork Knuckles with Caraway, Garlic, Apples and Potatoes - totally divine and cheap to boot. And who'd have thought plain old eggs and bacon could be transformed into a sumptuous salad or the store cupboard could hold the key to a crowd pleasing Pantry Paella?

This is a real case of rags to riches; where divine meals don't have to break the bank.

Episode 5 - Suppertime and the Cooking Is Easy

Whether you're cooking for family, friends or just yourself, suppertime needs to be easy.

If you're home alone and deserving a treat, simple spaghetti is the answer. If you have people coming over and are pressed for time - Spanish chicken with chorizo and potatoes is the work of moments, the leftovers turned into dreamy breakfast quesadillas.

There's Nigella's no-fuss fruit tart and for evenings when you need speed, ease and restoration there's lemony salmon with cherry tomato couscous.

And for those moments when cooking is beyond you, a chip kebab is the answer.

Episode 6 - Don't Knock It Till You've Tried It

Whether you're cooking for family, friends or just yourself, suppertime needs to be easy.

No time to bake is no problem with Nigella's Irish oaten roll: fast and easy to make, they are instant comfort and instant gratification. Salty and sweet may not sound like a match made in heaven, but Nigella's Sweet And Salty Crunch Nut Bars are totally irresistible.

Plus take a leap of faith with her inky Black Squink Risotto, as dramatically spectacular with its black rice and saut?ed squid topping as it is simple to make.

There's also an unusual slow-cooked melt in the mouth Asian Braised Shin of Beef topped with a crisp hot and sour shredded salad.

Episode 7 - Kitchen Comforts

It's a long weekend of comfort cooking in Nigella's Kitchen where the food is delicious and the cooking is easy.

The action starts on Friday night with a fast and fabulous supper of sauteed Scallops with Thai Scented Pea Puree, then it's Saturday lunch for the kids and Nigella's conjuring up an Italian classic, Pasta Alla Genovese, a double carb dish of spaghetti cooked with potatoes and a fabulous home made basil pesto.

Then Nigella's cooking Sunday lunch for friends and family and serving meatloaf, America's all time top comfort food. It's her friend Ed's Mother's Meatloaf made with hard boiled eggs hidden inside and served in thick slices with Baked Potatoes drizzled in a divine Blue Cheese Dressing.
