Nobody could accuse #RecipeOfTheDay of being a looker but who cares when this Burnt Onion and Aubergine/ Eggplant Dip tastes so good? (Please note: it’s a rhetorical question!) There’s a reason my last book has a chapter in it called ‘A Loving Defence of Brown Food’. www.nigella.com/recipes/burn...
Burnt Onion and Aubergine Dip
I get many requests for this decidedly brown dip of silky savouriness, the first recipe in my chapter A Loving Defence of Brown Food in Cook, Eat, Repeat, so creamy that you would never guess it’s act...

I know it doesn’t sound like the most glowing endorsement when I tell you that #RecipeOfTheDay – a dish of sweet potatoes with marshmallows – tastes so much better than you’d think, but I make this statement with my fellow non-Americans in mind! 🧡HAPPY THANKSGIVING🧡 www.nigella.com/recipes/swee...
Sweet Potatoes With Marshmallows
The American tradition of cooking sweet potatoes with marshmallows is a bit of a leap for the European reader. But it always pays to keep an open mind. I find myself strangely compelled by the lusciou...

Thanksgiving week continues with the beauteous Pecan-Plus Pie as #RecipeOfTheDay. The pastry is an easy, mix-up-in-a-bowl, press-in affair: no rolling or stress involved! www.nigella.com/recipes/peca...

This is somewhat of an Anglo-American enterprise. I have taken a pecan pie, and added other nuts, simply because for me, the English festive season means bowls of mixed nuts and the memory of my grand...

BRAND NEW 🍏 How Do You Like Them Apples? 🍎

From the Garden of Hesperides to the Garden of Eden, from the Atalanta and the Trojan War to The Beatles and the iPhone, apples are laden with often conflicting symbolism.

You don’t need to be celebrating Thanksgiving this week to be interested in a recipe for mashed potatoes that can be easily made ahead, but if you are working up to the big feast you particularly need to know about this now! www.nigella.com/recipes/make...
Make-Ahead Mash
No one is doubting the glory of mashed potatoes, and while they are not difficult to make, they can be quite a faff in large quantities at the last minute. This is the answer: a tangy, subtly cheesy m...

Since I’m English, I don’t go in for Thanksgiving myself, but it’s a feast I happen to love, and this week I have a few suggestions for it, kicking off with the Turkey Breast Stuffed with Italian Sausage and Marsala-Steeped Cranberries that is #RecipeOfTheDay! www.nigella.com/recipes/turk...
Turkey Breast Stuffed With Italian Sausage and Marsala-Steeped Cranberries
I know it might sound a bit of a faff, but take it from me that stuffing a whole double breast joint is very much easier than stuffing and rolling a single breast joint, as is more commonly found in s...

I have another Thanksgiving suggestion! It’s this luscious pumpkin cheesecake – which is made with canned pumpkin, by the way – and I recommend it eagerly to you.

Pumpkin Cheesecake
The pumpkin component here may come out of a can, but I don’t see that’s anything to be apologetic about. By all means, make your own purée if you prefer (making absolutely sure it is as drained as dr...

If you have weekend leftovers that could do with a bit of a zhuzh, or are just after a quick flavour-fix, you might well be interested in the Green Tahini Sauce that’s #RecipeOfTheDay. It’s divine splodged over sweet potatoes (as it is here) and so much else besides. www.nigella.com/recipes/gree...

It’s Stir-Up Sunday and so, as tradition decrees, my Ultimate Christmas Pudding is #RecipeOfTheDay. I have converted many Christmas pud haters with this, which is due not to any brilliance on my part but to the treacly magnificence of the Pedro Ximénez sherry in it. www.nigella.com/recipes/ulti...

I don’t deny it: there is something unattractively boastful about calling one’s own recipe “ultimate”. But having soaked my dried fruit for this pudding in Pedro Ximénez — the sweet, dark, sticky sher...

Mussels cooked in wine are always lovely, that’s true, but I implore you to try cooking them in beer: its light bitterness is the perfect foil to their rich sweet flesh. And this is why my Dutch Mussels are #RecipeOfTheDay! www.nigella.com/recipes/dutc...

The Dutch do love their mussels, honoured there as zwarte goud — black gold — although it’s true that their neighbours the Belgians unfairly get more credit for them. Of course, you don’t need to make...

I have nothing but love for these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pots, a weekend-greeting #RecipeOfTheDay or, frankly, anytime delight. Quick and easy as they are, I often make them up ahead of time (see notes under recipe) and just pop them in the oven when needed. www.nigella.com/recipes/choc...

I’ve been making #RecipeOfTheDay – Kale with Chorizo and Poached Egg – for over a quarter of a century, and recommend it deeply. The kale I tend to go for now is cavolo nero, rather than its original curly kale. Recipe includes my stress-free egg poaching method, btw www.nigella.com/recipes/kale...
