American Breakfast Pancakes are #RecipeOfTheDay! If I were writing this recipe now, I’d probably just call them Pancakes, as the thin, crêpe-style ones I grew up with are no longer the norm here. But whatever they’re called, they’re good! www.nigella.com/recipes/amer...
American Breakfast Pancakes
These are those thick, spongy American pancakes that are often eaten with warm maple syrup and crisp fried bacon. I love them with the syrup alone, but if you do want bacon, I think streaky is best. Y...

#RecipeOfTheDay is one of those that’s at its best when made a day (or two) ahead. Or, at least, partly ahead: I advise making this Beef Massaman Curry up to the point the potatoes go in, then leave to steep in the fridge, adding them when you reheat to eat later! www.nigella.com/recipes/mass...
Massaman Beef Curry
This is another recipe inspired by my Thai travels — see Thai Noodles with Cinnamon and Prawns — and I have cooked it many, many times since. It is essentially a beef and potato stew, with all the com...

#RecipeOfTheDay is an easy chilli sauce that doubles as one of the best dips imaginable. It’s a longtime favourite, and once you make it you’ll see why! www.nigella.com/recipes/jumb...
Jumbo Chilli Sauce
This chilli sauce is big — big flavour, big kick, big reward. The name, however, derives from the fact that the recipe was given to me by my brother-in-law, Jim, Jimbo to me, but often known teasingly...

Broccoli and Stilton Soup is #RecipeOfTheDay! I must tell you that this is best made with frozen broccoli, but if you’re using fresh, get enough to leave you a kilo just of florets, and roughly chop before cooking until soft. Do feel free to use any cheese you want! www.nigella.com/recipes/broc...

The justly named Queen of Puddings is #RecipeOfTheDay! I’ve gone a bit Marie Antoinette and used brioche crumbs for the custardy base, but you can, of course, use the more traditional breadcrumbs – though they’d need to be made from actual bread and not from a packet. www.nigella.com/recipes/quee...

It’s such a waste of the wonderfulness of chestnuts just to have them with Brussels sprouts! I always keep a few packs of the vacuum-packed ones to hand, ready and they’re needed for #RecipeOfTheDay: Chestnut and Pancetta Salad (though bacon would do too)🌰 www.nigella.com/recipes/ches...

Forgot to tell you that it’s gluten-free!🤦🏻‍♀️
Should you still have quite a few clementines about the place, you might be particularly interested in #RecipeOfTheDay, even if you did make (as I did) this Clementine Cake over Christmas. Its bright sunniness is just what’s needed now, I rather feel! www.nigella.com/recipes/clem...

I admire the Dutch for many reasons, one of which is that they celebrate the New Year with doughnuts. I’ve taken a leaf out of their book, and so Oliebollen, the doughnuts in question, are #RecipeOfTheDay.

Rich, boozy and deeply luscious, my No-Bake Advocaat and Ginger Cake is the gratifyingly low-effort #RecipeOfTheDay! You need to layer it up and set it in the fridge a day before you want to eat it, by the way. www.nigella.com/recipes/no-b...
