Orzo pasta is a non-negotiable staple in my kitchen. Simply dressed in butter and salt, and maybe a dusting of nutmeg or grated Parmesan, or indeed both, it often serves at my table as a substitute for rice or potatoes, and I regularly use it to cook what in Italian is pasta risottata, a kind of pasta risotto. It makes for wonderful, cosy one-pot dishes, of which this is a pre-eminent example. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.
Inspired by her equally delicious tahini and chocolate banana bread recipe, Nigella transforms this winning combination into a light but intense pudding. As seen on her BBC2 series, Cook, Eat, Repeat.
Keema is a fantastically hangover-salving dish of spicy (usually lamb) mince; this version uses minced turkey and, more significantly, its heat is provided by the gochujang, the Korean chilli paste that I keep on hand to pep up a jaded palate or a pallid-flavoured ingredient. Being minced does not generally do turkey many favours, but the aromatic richness of the paste makes it sing. Supper's on the table in a matter of minutes; if you wanted to make it speedier, you would have to buy rice that's already been steamed and needs no more than a few turns in the microwave to heat it.

Two kitchen assistants who used to work for British celebrity chef Nigella Lawson have alleged that she was a regular user of cocaine and other drugs, according to reports of a court hearing published by several national British media on Tuesday.

Mafghoussa means “squashed” in Arabic, and that’s because the vegetables are squashed into cold salads once they are roasted. There are different versions of mafghoussa: some are made with tomatoes and laban jameed (salted and dried yoghurt), some are made with olive oil, as I have done here. The beauty of mafghoussa is that it’s a zero-waste recipe. You can use the cored insides of the courgettes (zucchini) if you are coring courgettes for another recipe (see additional info below), or use the entire courgettes; the taste is slightly different, but it’s still delicious. Mafghoussa is always served cold. This refreshing dish works beautifully with grilled meats on the side or by itself as a meal.

When I included these black pudding meatballs in Cook, Eat, Repeat, I thought they would be a niche choice, but I have been gratifyingly overwhelmed by the number of people who have made and loved these. Even when I thought take-up would be small, there was never a chance I would have left them out of the book: I love them far too much for that. I included them in the Loving Defence of Brown Food chapter, even if they are too cheery in their tomato sauce to count as brown food, exactly, as I felt they probably were going to be fully appreciated by true brown-food lovers. Even unapologetic meat eaters can be disgusted by the dark mysteries of blood. And while it's not entirely rational, our emotional responses so rarely are. Besides, I make no attempt now to convince anyone about these: I love them too much to waste making them for people who fail to appreciate them, no matter how brave they feel for trying. And cooking is by no means always altruistic. The quantities below make for a big old batch of black pudding meatballs, simply because they are one of my absolute favourite things to eat, an instant sparker of joy; I honestly feel so much better about life knowing there's always a container or three of them in the freezer. I thrill at their deep gloriousness every time I eat them. It's up to you what you eat them with but I must tell you that the Brown Butter Colcannon is sensational with them. But if I'm eating alone, I like them best with good bread and butter. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.

It is made with cooked chicken that is soft and tender, curry spices that smell good, and a creamy dressing. It's easy to make and takes no time, making it great for a quick and tasty meal.
This started off life as a reworking of Coronation Chicken, that mixture I can't help liking, against all contemporary culinary strictures, of cold chicken, mayo, mango chutney, curry powder and apricot puree (or that's how both my grandmothers made it). But still, I wanted to pare it down, make it lighter and fresher, and so this is it. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.

This rice pudding cake is every bit as wonderful as it sounds: an Italian torta di riso, refracted through the prism of someone who loves a bowl of very British rice pudding.
There is something old-fashioned and comforting about a cream sauce. It's so rare to come across these days, and I think it's time we welcomed it back. My paternal grandmother was very keen on chicken with finely sliced button mushrooms and cream, which I remember fondly if blandly, and although you could certainly fry a panful of mushrooms in butter and add cream to it, I much prefer this funghi-free and fiercely garlicky version. I love this best, I think, with plain basmati rice, but I can't deny there is an equally good case to be made for some simply steamed new potatoes alongside instead.

This recipe for Nigella Carrot and Coriander Soup is a wonderful mix of healthy ingredients, made with carrots, a yellow onion, and a handful of fresh cilantro. This warming soup can be ready in 30 minutes and makes enough for 4 to 6 people.
A proper chicken shawarma — the spiced meat cooked on a spit, then stuffed with pickles, sauces, tomato and other salads into a flat bread wrap — is truly right up top on the God Tier of sandwiches. This, my improper version, is another proposition, but headily delicious in its own right. I marinate the chicken with lemon, garlic, oil and all the right spices but, for an easy meal at home, I cook it in the oven. I do serve it with pitta or other flatbreads, along with a divine sauce made simply by mixing together yogurt, tahini and more garlic, adding a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds if I have some. As you can see, I serve the chicken on a mound of shredded iceberg, and you could easily put a bowl of sliced tomatoes out on the table too and, if it took your fancy, another of pink-pickled onions (you can see the method for this in step 1 of the fish finger bhorta. Of course, you are free to add anything you may want alongside — you can never have too many pickles, in my book! — but whatever you do, provide plenty of napkins, and allow everyone to roll up or stuff their pittas as they wish. It’s the perfect indoor picnic! For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.

This is a VERY simple version of the original recipe that was modified by my mother. It tastes delicious and is very easy to prepare - the perfect comfort food! I've listed it as a main course as it is filling and a great supper, but I've also served it in very small portions as a starter (an alternative to risotto!) It's also a great way to use up left over boiled rice
