I don’t have a sweet tooth, but dry Marsala is smoky rather than sweet, and I use it often in savoury cooking. It’s more like a gutsier, (and sometimes rougher) Amontillado!

Actually, I often use Marsala and, yes, shallots too as I have chopped shallots in the freezer and rely on them often!

It has a gentler personality than the more familiar ragù, but very lovely in its quiet way

Spinach With Pinenuts and Sultanas

This is a fabulous sidedish with a plain roast or piece of meat or fish, but is good enough to be relished alone, even for those who are not vegetarian. I tend to buy spinach in 250g / ½ lb bags, and...

#RecipeOfTheDay is Spinach Baked with Nutmeg and Ricotta! And although it’s intended as a side dish, I have to say I can eat it all on its own quite happily. You’ll see what I mean once you’ve tasted it. www.nigella.com/recipes/spin...

Spinach Baked With Ricotta and Nutmeg

Here is my Italian version, you could say, of creamed spinach. Actually, it tastes rather like the ricotta and spinach mixture that's used to stuff pasta; of course, given the ingredients, this is sca...

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Midweek Treat: my Ginger and Walnut Carrot Cake is #RecipeOfTheDay! I’m rather fond of it plain and un-iced, but I admit the gingery cream cheese frosting does finish it off perfectly www.nigella.com/recipes/ging...

Ginger and Walnut Carrot Cake

This is very different from the richly sweet, loftily layered and aerated American original. While it is in some senses far more reminiscent of an old-fashioned, slightly rustic English teatime treat,...

#RecipeOfTheDay takes pasta on a distinctly unItalian journey: it’s Spelt Spaghetti with Spicy Sesame Mushrooms! www.nigella.com/recipes/spel...

Spelt Spaghetti with Spicy Sesame Mushrooms

Wholemeal pasta holds little charm for me, but I co-exist very amicably with spelt spaghetti. Here it acts as a rather more robust form of soba noodle, which makes perfect sense since the sauce that d...

These beauties are #RecipeOfTheDay! I’m talking Indian-Spiced Shepherd’s Pie, topped with lime-sharpened sweet potato mash and a sprinkling of tender green pistachios. I love a classic shepherd’s pie, don’t get me wrong, but this version is no less of a joy www.nigella.com/recipes/indi...
