When I’m too busy even to think of what I might cook, this is the speedy storecupboard standby that I can alway rely on to rescue me deliciously: #RecipeOfTheDay is (yes, tinned) Sardine Spaghetti! www.nigella.com/recipes/sard...
Sardine Spaghetti
In the normal run of things, I always know what I’m going to have for lunch or dinner. I care far too much about what I eat to feel comfortable just leaving it to chance. But there are inevitably thos...

If you’re in need of comfort as well as mood-boosting flavour, I’ve got you! #RecipeOfTheDay is Lentils with Tamarind and Dates, a bowlful of earthy, sweet and tangy goodness to make Monday easier. www.nigella.com/recipes/lent...
Lentils with Tamarind and Dates
I love this dal-inspired combination of earthy lentils, sour tamarind and sweet dates. It's so full of tang and flavour that you really need eat nothing else with it, save some flatbread or naan, thou...

#RecipeOfTheDay is Roast Quinces! Though actually I’m not sure this even qualifies as a recipe, since all you do is quarter them and roast them. But if you’ve never cooked with quince before, this is an excellent place to start. www.nigella.com/recipes/roas...

If you want a near-instant pud of deep delight, I have news you can use: my martini-glass offerings (other glasses may of course be used) of speedily assembled, individually portioned tiramisù – aka Tiramisini – are - #RecipeOfTheDay! www.nigella.com/recipes/tira...

Some say, challenging more generally accepted ideas about the provenance, that tiramisu was invented in a casa chiusa (a house of ill repute) to give the working girls a pick-me-up, as the name (tira-...

Lovely message from @neuroblastomauk.bsky.social thanking Alan Carr.

Shared on their X.

#CelebrityTraitors
Text says: Alan. What a moment. We can't tell you how grateful we are. We've adored watching you over the last three weeks, all the most so with that glimmer of hope that if you did win, it might just means something big for our small charity. And you did it. As our faithful Patron for 9 years, your commitment, compassion and drive to bring hope to children and families gacing this agressive cancer have been nothing short of transformational. As a small charity with a big mission, you know how much this means to us. For many years we've known you to be generous, warm, empathic and unfalteringly kind, and we're so pleased that the nation agrees with us on that. Now we promise to do you proud. Our commitment to you is that through research, we will find better treatments and ultimately a cure for every child facing Neuroblastoma. Alan, thank you.

There’s not a day goes past that I don’t miss Tony Bourdain, great man, great friend, great writer. Nothing can make up for the loss of him, of course, but it’s wonderful to hear his voice live from the page in the compellingly brilliant Anthony Bourdain Reader edited by Kim Witherspoon.

#RecipeOfTheDay is just right for Bonfire Night, which is rather old-fashioned of me, I know, since it seems that it’s been swallowed up by Halloween these days. Still, this Fresh Gingerbread with Lemon Icing is gorgeous whether you’re waving sparklers or not tonight! www.nigella.com/recipes/fres...

#RecipeOfTheDay is Salmon Kedgeree with Lime and Coriander, an unconventional take, though a blissfully rewarding one. I fear, however, that the photo here is in such close-up, you may find it hard to take in at first! www.nigella.com/recipes/salm...
