All the flavour, none of the fuss: Slow-Cooker (Crockpot) Moroccan Chicken Stew is #RecipeOfTheDay. (And there are instructions for making it in a regular oven in the Additional Notes section below the recipe.) www.nigella.com/recipes/slow...
Slow-Cooker Moroccan Chicken Stew
This is a lightly fragranced golden stew that gains more succulence from having the bones of the chicken thighs in as well. The skin gives flavour, too, and both skin and bones are removed on serving ...

Roast Duck Legs with Potatoes
This is one of those leave 'em and love 'em meals. For all the ease of express-style food, there is a lot to be said for simply stashing something in the oven for an hour or two when stuck in too-tire...

#RecipeOfTheDay is Pappardelle with Lamb Ragù. It’s a big favourite on nigella.com, as you can see by the comments below the recipe, one of which being “I couldn't have believed anything so delicious could be so easy!” My heart is gladdened and grateful. www.nigella.com/recipes/papp...
Pappardelle With Lamb Ragu
‘Ragout’ is French, ‘ragù’ Italian, and this meat sauce is certainly inspired by the Sicilian combination of sweet lamb, dried wild mint and crushed chilli flakes, though I’ve added an Anglo note with...

If you’d asked me any time up until recently whether I’d ever thought I’d bring out a book with a fish finger recipe in it, I’d have been fairly certain the answer would be no. Thank goodness we live ...

It’s nothing to do with me, I know, but since it is the 4th of July today, I thought I should have a #RecipeOfTheDay that might be useful for any American friends celebrating. It’s easily portable so great to bring to a party! www.nigella.com/recipes/new-...
New Orleans Coleslaw
Despite the title, this recipe doesn't actually come from New Orleans, but is named in honour of the wonderful pecan trees I admired on a visit there eons ago. I've been making this, or a version of ...

Nobody warns you, but raising children is terrible for your health. I had nearly 20 years of booze, drugs and partying under my belt when my son was born, but physically and mentally I was still in pretty good shape. But after 5 years of clean & sober parenting? I'm a WRECK.

Piers Morgan is a POS but man is this interview wild - based on the way her tone changes I don't think she realized the implications of what she said until after she said it.

If you look closely you can see her realize she is absolutely cooked in real time.

Wife and I are now living child free but still have eight of everything. When unloading the dishwasher, I always put the clean plates at the bottom of the pile so that they all get a chance to have their 'moment in the sun' and not just the same ones every time.

This comes from the children’s food chapter of How to Eat, but it should certainly not be confined to the Kids’ Menu. It is a de-stressingly easy, fabulous tasting, one-pot meal that provides instant ...

This is the most luscious of treats: rich, to be sure, but somehow delicate at the same time. Smoked paprika and crab (a 50/50 mixture of both white and brown meat) give an almost honeyed depth to the...

Keeping with the Joy Division - She’s Retained Control
This post got me to thinking about musical opposites, e.g.

• Love Will Keep Us Together - Captain & Tennille
• Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division

Anyone think of any other examples of this?
Another fun track I've discovered while working on the latest main episode, this is what The Captain from Captain and Tennille was doing in 1964 -- surf-jazz. It is as entirely unlike "Love Will Keep Us Together" as you can get.
