A novel set in #Oxford (and #London)

Piglet by Lottie Hazell

And what a variety of book covers

At the heart, though, is a croquembouche, not donuts, burgers, an apple *scratches head*

From L to R: Original Australian cover / USA / UK and a good old croquembouche cluster

#RecipeOfTheDay is Poinsettia, my favourite festive cocktail – and Merry Christmas! www.nigella.com/recipes/poin...
Poinsettia
This is probably the most serviceable, all-round cocktail-party drink: eminently refreshing; satisfyingly quaffable. It started off as a Christmas cocktail, a juicily seasonal Buck’s Fizz (a drink I ...

Panettone French Toast
While I was tempted to call this Italian Toast, rather than the almost tactless Panettone French Toast, I felt the latter title had the benefit of conveying to you exactly what this is. You can certai...

Sticky Toffee Pudding
There is very little that can compare with the glory of a sticky toffee pudding. My STP is altogether deeper and darker than the original version: it is still sweet, but the muscovado sugar and black ...

Linzer Cookies, in all their festive beauty and buttery tenderness, are #RecipeOfTheDay! I wouldn’t want to attempt them in the Southern Hemisphere (sorry over there) but in our cold, Northern Hemisphere kitchens, the soft, rich dough is helpfully biddable www.nigella.com/recipes/linz...
Linzer Cookies
In its wildest dreams, a jammy dodger could never aspire to the melting tenderness and celestial lightness of the Linzer cookie. The idea is the same: two biscuits, sandwiched together with jam, a hol...

#RecipeOfTheDay is Christmas Puddini Bonbons! I can’t pretend they’re not fiddly to make, but it’s not a difficult job. And they are just enchanting. ‘Puddini’ is not a typo, btw: I replace the ‘g’ with an ‘i’ to denote their small size, Italian-style! www.nigella.com/recipes/chri...

These are delectable little bonbons made by mixing up cooked and cooled Christmas pudding (see Additional Information below), liquor, syrup and melted chocolate, rolling them into small balls, then dr...

🌶️ Chilli Jam – also known as Chilli Jelly, and sometimes even Chelly – is #RecipeOfTheDay! I’m a bit of a condiment queen generally, but Christmas eating in my house is particularly condiment-centred. And a jar also makes a lovely present www.nigella.com/recipes/chil...
