Notes about Recipes in this site

• Chocolate Guinness cake

  • MsMonsoon on January 24, 2023

    Third time making this and it turned out well. Springform pan made a nice, tall cake, with only the slightest sink in the middle. Baked an hour but that was probably too long. Frosting was perfect consistency. Only had about 6 or 7 oz. of cream cheese (bar, not tub), used 1 cup powdered sugar, and added 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream that I had whipped to soft peaks. Nigella site’s recipe calls for 18 tablespoons of butter, but other recipes or adaptations online use 10 or 12. I used 10 and it seemed fine. May try more next time but 17 seems like a lot!

• Chocolate banana muffins

  • eliza on December 05, 2016

    I made a half recipe to try them out. After reading the online comments, I added 1/3 cup semi sweet mini chocolate chips to my half batch. They turned out well, something between a muffin and a cupcake. I ditched the papers and just used Pam spray and they released fine. Very good muffins, definitely a dessert with the chocolate chip addition. They might be good with raspberry icing. The next day, these tasted even better; I will definitely make them again soon.

  • Pamsy on April 11, 2025

    Halved the recipe which gave 6 muffins. Used Dove's Farm gluten free flour and flax egg, both of which gave excellent results. Choc chips would be a good addition . Nice banana flavour along with the cocoa powder. These will be one of my quick and easy bakes.

• Chocolate fudge cake

  • Jane on May 04, 2013

    My daughter's favorite cake so gets made a lot. I've found I need to use 3 cake tins if using the low, sandwich tins as using 2 means they overflow in the oven.

• Chilli jam

  • Carol.Furness on August 10, 2014

    Love this and have made it several times. Change the ratio of chillis to peppers to suit your palate

• Mughlai chicken

  • anya_sf on April 08, 2019

    I used regular (European-style) yogurt instead of Greek because that's what I had on hand and it seemed to work just fine. I also used brown raisins, which were fine but did not look as pretty, but this isn't the most attractive dish. Made it one day ahead and reheated. My family liked it a lot. My husband wanted more spice, which I wouldn't have minded as well, but our heat-averse son thought it was excellent as is. A spritz of lemon or lime at the end wouldn't be unwelcome. For simplicity, I might just cut the chicken into smaller pieces to begin with and possibly skip the browning step, as I'm not sure it added much. This looks like a long, complicated recipe, but it really isn't. I'd definitely make this again.

• Banana bread

  • Dolcetto23 on March 16, 2021

    My go-to banana bread recipe. Very easy, no need to dirty the mixer as it uses melted butter, and works every time. I use half wholemeal flour, and sometimes add mixed seeds as well.

• Lemon polenta cake

  • annapanna on November 07, 2013

    Nice cake. I didn't use up all the syrup, I think half the quantity would be enough.

  • marmite on June 27, 2014

    Fabulous cake - I thought about not adding all the syrup but I'm glad I did, wonderfully moist. Definitely more of a dessert cake to be eaten with a fork though. Delicious with raspberries. Thinking about experimenting by adding rosemary like the Italian ones.

  • Barb_N on August 29, 2017

    I made this (with the syrup) to serve with slices of fresh peach- fabulous and so easy. The regular polenta was a bit gritty(rustic)- I might try instant polenta the next time- and there will be a next time.

  • aargle on January 26, 2022

    A delicious cake that turned out perfectly. I used all the syrup which I was unsure about as I had a lot of syrup but it was fine and resulted in a very moist, very lemony cake. Will make again.

  • FJT on July 24, 2025

    Lovely cake that is naturally gluten-free and can be dairy free too if you follow Nigella's instructions on replacing butter with oil. Nigella's cake recipes always work and this was no exception. Made 2 days in advance and served with strawberries and clotted cream. Delicious!

• One-step no-churn coffee ice cream

  • Marsaluna on August 10, 2020

    OMG. I made this last night. It is so good and so easy. It’s like a lovely creamy gelato. I didn’t have espresso or coffee liquor so I used vodka. At first the vodka taste seemed a little too evident but after freezing, the vodka taste dissipated and deep dark espresso shone through.

  • FJT on August 20, 2022

    I've made this twice in the last week as it's so easy and makes lovely ice cream (also I needed to use up the tin of condensed milk!). I like the fact that you don't need to take the ice cream out of the freezer after a few hours and stir it, as you do with most other no churn recipes. The first time round I made a coffee version; I don't have coffee liqueur so I made it with freshly ground coffee powder and some freshly brewed espresso. What a great taste! The second time I just used cocoa powder to flavour the ice cream. I probably ended up using 4-5 tablespoons of cocoa (I didn't measure, just tipped) and the ice cream was wonderful... next time I would add more cocoa powder or even melt some chocolate to make it even more chocolatey. Very happy with both versions.

• Banana muffins!

  • JodieE on November 13, 2015

    I used 300g gluten free flour & threw in dark chocolate chips

• Seed-studded Anzac biscuits

  • darcie_b on April 23, 2023

    Will definitely make these again. I added some black sesame seeds for added visual interest.

• Parmesan shortbreads

  • TrishB on April 29, 2016

    Some people prefer these with a little added salt and 25g more parmesan. Some swap tasty cheddar for the parmesan and leave out the egg yolk, using equal quantities of flour, butter, cheese and roll them out a bit thinner.

• Instant chocolate mousse

  • Pamsy on June 23, 2022

    Excellent recipe which does not contain eggs.

• Moroccan-spiced chicken with dates and aubergines

  • raybun on September 13, 2016

    This was absolutely delicious. Easy to prepare in advance, with incredible flavours. Don't omit the orange, it really adds to the dish.

• Chocolate olive oil cake

  • ALawson25 on April 09, 2024

    If 20 servings, 167 calories per serving

• No-churn brandied pumpkin ice cream

  • anya_sf on May 11, 2019

    There isn't a lot of pumpkin in this, so the pumpkin flavor isn't that prominent. With the nutmeg and brandy, the ice cream tasted like a cross between pumpkin and eggnog ice creams - not a bad thing, in my view. This was very easy to make and I'd definitely make it again.

• Apple and almond cake

  • FJT on July 08, 2020

    Having read the comments on nigella.com I cut back on the eggs and sugar (I used 6 eggs, 200g of sugar and a 9" tin rather than 10"). In addition I didn't add sugar to the apples and I separated the eggs and whipped the whites. The recipe comes together very easily if you have the stewed apples made in advance. My cake took 60 mins at 160 fan - I'd probably up the temp to 170 fan next time. Very nice, light cake.

• Vegan spag Bol

  • Mayandbill on January 06, 2022

    Made this pretty much as written and it was really good, with a similar range of flavours to meat ragu. Best veggie/vegan Ragu recipe I’ve tried.

  • Barb_N on January 10, 2022

    I had to make some modifications, which may have affected the final texture. I had no red lentils and used chopped portobello caps instead of dried porcini. In spite of decreasing the liquid, and simmering for almost 3 hours, my sauce is fairly watery. I plan to freeze most of it, so maybe I can add the red lentils into each portion as I use it. Mine does not look tomatoey like the photo- will try to modify.

• Black pudding meatballs

  • FJT on December 04, 2025

    Yum! This was easy and delicious. I've had this recipe bookmarked for quite a while, but needed to source some gluten free black pudding before I could make it. Really glad I found some. The meatballs are so light with just a little hint of chilli to lift the flavour. Makes loads, so I have a couple of portions stashed in the freezer. Hubby is very happy!

• Marzipan loaf cake

  • FJT on April 19, 2024

    Delicious! I had to grind the cardamom and it seemed very cardamom-forward to start with and I was worried it overpowered the cake. By day 2 it had mellowed and I needn't have worried. This makes a very small cake (1lb loaf tin).

• Rhubarb and custard trifle

  • firetriniti on January 12, 2026

    Rating for the custard component only.

• Chocolate peanut butter cake

  • Pamsy on March 24, 2026

    Stuart made this for my birthday. You couldn't eat it everyday but it was wonderful and naughty!

• Tomato, date and chickpea tagine

  • anniecc on January 22, 2025

    Really tasty and quick recipe, great for family dinners.

• Whole beef shin with red wine, carrots and little onions

  • etcjm on February 27, 2022

    This was really tasty. Lots of flavour - but then there should be! I used port instead of red wine and used small chantennay carrots and shallots. It did dry out, so I added more water before adding some dumplings. This unfortunately then dried out the gravy a bit too much. Next time, I'll add double the stock at the beginning. Much tastier than my made up stews!

• Beetroot and rhubarb salad

  • dogo on May 22, 2025

    Would be better with feta cheese. Rhubarb is overly sweet. Wouldn't make it again.

• Spaghetti Nicoise

  • Astrid5555 on June 07, 2025

    So good, made twice already over the past few weeks, always without the green beans since I did not have any, still amazing.

• Meatballs with orzo

  • darcie_b on January 14, 2023

    This is easy and delicious but the orzo does tend to stick so be sure to stir it often.

• Ukrainian garlic bread (Pampushky)

  • Futuregirl23 on November 26, 2022

    Amazing! And much easier to make than I thought. There is a LOT of garlic and it’s not cooked, you baste it onto the cooked bread. I think I’d cook it a little first next time so it’s not as strong. However it was still delicious.

• Triple chocolate buckwheat cookies

  • reader1trees on March 28, 2024

    These are both delicious and easy as well as being utterly reliable like all Nigella's recipes. I have successfully veganised them using Naturli vegan butter and Free and Easy egg replacer and they are always gobbled up by my friends.

• Cider and 5-spice bundt cake

  • reader1trees on March 28, 2024

    This was my first try at using my new bundt tin and as you can see I didn't quite manage to turn the cake out perfectly but thanks to the robust texture of the cooked cake it wasn't difficult to put it back together. The cake itself tasted delicious and smelt wonderful while it was in the oven, I'll definitely be making this recipe again.

  • London_Mummy on October 09, 2025

    I am saving this recipe to my shelf because it is so delicious. I made it a while back and since I do not have a bundt tin or square tin, I just used a circular tin, and it came out fine. Even my Dad, who puts on a show that he does not like desserts, asked for a second slice!

• Roast duck legs with potatoes

  • Avocet on August 29, 2024

    Really, really good, not to mention, super easy. However, the cooking time is too long for the duck. Start checking the duck temp after about 30 min. Take the duck out and keep roasting the potatoes until done. Kale, blanched until tender, tossed in the drippings after the potatoes are removed make an excellent side dish.

• Spaghetti with melted cauliflower sauce

  • Jane on December 15, 2021

    Not bad but I didn't love it enough to make again. Though my execution could have been better. I fail to see how pulsing cauliflower in a processor would result in 1/2 inch pieces. You end up with large untouched pieces and a lot of rubble. It really needs to be cut by hand. Maybe because of this my sauce didn't really brown so no caramelized flavor.

• Turkey breast stuffed with Italian sausage and Marsala-steeped cranberries

  • Pamsy on December 30, 2021

    My butcher boned a 5kg Turkey and I then used this recipe. Easy to carve and very tasty. I stuffed the bird on Christmas eve so less work next day. Definitely worthy of a repeat next Christmas. Good recipe, worked as written.

• Kerala fish curry

  • FJT on February 26, 2022

    Quick and easy! Perfect weeknight dish.

  • kateastoria on March 28, 2026

    excellent with tuna steaks diced up

• Spanish omelette

  • TLouise on March 24, 2022

    This was just okay. I probably wouldn't make again.

• Rum-roasted potatoes

  • MikeMcKay on March 31, 2022

    Pimento Berries (UK) = allspice berries (USA)

• Salted caramel martini

  • hbakke on May 28, 2022

    In my opinion, vermouth doesn't belong with salted caramel flavors. This wasn't a cocktail I enjoyed and the recipe made a weird amount that barely filled 1/2 of a standard martini glass. Not a repeat for me.

• Strawberry meringue layer cake

  • Astrid5555 on June 04, 2022

    Impressive looking, quick to make, very delicious - a perfect summer cake for a celebration!

• Green eggs and ham

  • MollyB on June 25, 2022

    Simple but quite tasty. I loved adding pesto to a basic crepe batter - I'll definitely be using that technique again with different variations on pesto.

• Guinness punch pie

  • Foodycat on October 08, 2022

    I used a bought all-butter pastry instead of making my own. This is delicious - smooth, creamy, malty custard with a warm spice.

• No-churn pomegranate ice cream

  • KatieK1 on November 23, 2022

    Although I have the equipment to make churned ice cream, I've developed an interest in making it without churning. I've made this recipe twice now for guests and it has been a grand success and unbelievably easy, only taking 10 minutes and without any cooking. I used unsweetened pomegranate juice and the American variation.

• Rosemary remembrance cake

  • MollyB on November 29, 2022

    The flavors of this cake are delicious, with subtle rosemary and apple flavor. And the loaf was beautiful, too. My cake turned out a touch dry, however - maybe I didn't use enough apple? I had two small apples that I weighed, and weighed them before coring - I'll use more apple next time.

• Ham in Coca Cola

  • Pamsy on January 02, 2023

    Made for the first time over Christmas and I'm puzzled as to why this is so popular. Not to be repeated.

• Star-topped mince pies

  • eliza on January 03, 2023

    I’ve made the pastry for these many times, and it works great. I love the hint of orange in it; I have filled with different mincemeats (David Lebovitz, Pam Corbin etc), but I always use this pastry recipe. Freezes and reheats perfectly, even in the microwave.

• Chocolate gingerbread

  • MsMonsoon on January 04, 2023

    I don't own Feast, but I made this from Nigella's website using the US measurements. I did have black treacle so used that instead of molasses, but used light corn syrup instead of Lyle's golden syrup. I used dark chocolate chips, black cocoa powder from King Arthur, and I didn't make the icing because I didn't have ginger ale. I loved this recipe. It's dark dark dark, and tastes like spiced dark chocolate. Love the density of the chocolate chips. Curious to try with the icing. At first I thought frosting would be overkill, but the cake itself is not overly sweet.

• Sweet potato macaroni cheese

  • anniecc on March 21, 2023

    Delicious but no way does this serve 4… more like 6-8.

• One-pot sausage meatball pasta

  • wester on April 22, 2023

    Very easy. Flavorful. Good clear instructions ("It should still be soupier than you want."). The cheese I used was a bit too mild - next time use a stronger one.

• Thyme and lemon bundt cake

  • ozfoodie on April 27, 2023

    While mine wasn't perfectly baked, the flavours were really lovely. I am not sure I'll make again though because oh my, picking all those thyme leaves has to be the most tedious thing ever ha ha.

• No-churn margarita ice cream

  • FJT on April 29, 2023

    This was lovely! I juiced 6 limes and still didn't have enough juice, so I added some lime syrup and reduced the sugar. We really enjoyed this.

  • Pamsy on May 04, 2024

    Absolutely fabulous ice cream! Used Cacacha instead of tequila and added zest of 2 limes. Used Coconut Collab dairy free cream due to Intolerance. By heating my limes in the microwave for 40 seconds I only used 2 and a half limes for 125mls juice. Definitely going to repeat with different flavours.

• Rib-sticking stir-fry

  • OhhWhatsThisAllAbout on August 01, 2023

    Waaaaaay too much soy and cooking wine - dial it back to 50%

• Vietnamese chicken and mint salad

  • firetriniti on August 13, 2023

    Used the poached chicken from chicken pho stock instead of serving it plain on noodles. Added a dash of Sichuan pepper oil as part of the vegetable oil in the dressing. Very nice, and flavours are authentic.

• Spiced apple cake

  • trudys_person on August 15, 2023

    Delicious and easy to make, but I can't imagine it with caramel sauce. It was very sweet all by itself! And I have a sweet tooth ... I think when I make it again I'll reduce the sugar--it has more sugar than flour.

• Italian roast chicken with peppers and olives

  • firetriniti on August 21, 2023

    Fast and easy way to use up extra olives and peppers. Very tasty pan juices. Low effort recipe and a good summer variation for Sunday roast. I used only Romano red peppers (2 and half) and mixed pitted Nocellera and Kalamata olives, and added an onion to the pan veg. The leftover chicken went into Nigella's Vietnamese chicken salad the next day.

• Aubergine coconut rice

  • debkellie on September 13, 2023

    A weird and flavoursome combo, if very dry. Maybe as an accompaniment to a good dal, or with some yoghurt on the side if I make it again.

• Linguine with lemon, garlic and thyme mushrooms

  • firetriniti on September 30, 2023

    Easy, low effort, with good results. A fresh dish that's great when I don't want to heat up the house in the summer. It's also easy to scale up as I've had a friend cook this for 8-10 of us at a dinner gathering. I've only ever made this with chestnut mushrooms as I prefer their flavour and wasn't sure about eating raw mushrooms.

• Tuna and beans

  • kbrooks on October 24, 2023

    I've also made this with cooked fresh cranberry (borlotti) beans. And, if you can find it, slice a finger lime in half and squeeze the "pearls " over the salad.

• Chocolate cloud cake

  • etcjm on January 21, 2024

    This has been cooked so many times. Ideal gluten free cake. Can be difficult the first time to know that it's cooked, but done once, you'll soon know. Lovely. I don't put the cream on the top - just serve with it, so I don't have to keep the cake in the fridge. Not a cake texture, so don't expect it to be.

• Lamb kofta with garlic sauce

  • FatsyRoller on January 31, 2024

    Cut the salt on the sauce WAAAAAY back. Try 1/4 the amount.

• Apple and cinnamon muffins

  • Rinshin on February 19, 2024

    Made after reading Beth 891’s note and knowing I still have lots of golden and Fuji apples from last fall’s harvest in the refrigerator I like to use up before this year’s harvest. I did add pecans, vanilla and reduced the brown sugar to 100g which was a perfect sweetness for us. Perfect snacking muffins for breakfast or late afternoon. It is a little crumbly from apple pieces and next time, I would add extra 3-5 min baking time. Photo added.

  • Pamsy on May 22, 2025

    Half quantity with plain flour, vanilla yogurt and flax egg yielded 6 muffins. Didn't make the crumble topping and wouldn't in future. Kept well for a couple of days, still light and moist. Nice and easy recipe, Pear and ginger would be another good combination.

• Chorizo and chickpea stew

  • Mayandbill on March 14, 2024

    Very quick, very tasty. Might be nice to add some carrot and onion to boost veg content, but absolutely good just as written.

• Ginger and walnut carrot cake

  • MsMonsoon on April 03, 2024

    Made this and it instantly became my favorite carrot cake recipe, as I am a major ginger lover and it has a starring role, with three types used. Doubled the recipe to make two cakes at once, to give one away.

• Irish cream tiramisu

  • Jane on January 21, 2025

    I made this for our Christmas dessert and it was perfect. Made the day before, keeps well for several days, light and delicious. Definitely will be a repeat. The only thing I will change is make it in a smaller dish so the cream layer is thicker. I made gluten-free sponge fingers from Katrina Cermelj's Baked to Perfection and they turned out really well.

• Ginger Pig venison Bourguignon pie

  • FJT on October 22, 2024

    This was really good. I didn’t add the pastry lid, just cooked it as a stew. It all disappeared very quickly. I didn’t have any port, so just left it out.

• White miso hummus

  • Krisage on January 15, 2025

    Tangy-tasty! Subbed lemon vinegar to good effect. With cilantro, pickled daikon, and kim chi sauce on bread, it had a nice banh mi vibe.

• Easter egg biscuits

  • Foodycat on March 26, 2025

    Very obedient dough! Cute biscuits. They really do need to be filled just before serving though, they do go a bit silent quite quickly after filling.

• Spiced mince and chips

  • Foodycat on October 25, 2024

    I used a pack of frozen oven fries instead of cutting my own chips. Very tasty combination! I was expecting a little more flavour from the pul biber though - if I make it again I might add some cumin and allspice to the mince, and possibly top it with some pickled chillies.

• Custard cream hearts

  • Foodycat on February 11, 2025

    I've made custard creams before and felt that the plain custard powder didn't offer very much in the way of flavour, so I added a bit of vanilla bean paste to both the biscuits and the buttercream. I also made the biscuits with brown butter, which was a big improvement on the ones I had made before but meant the biscuits didn't have the uniform gold colour. If I make them again I will pipe the filling. Smearing on with a palette knife gave too uneven a finish.

• Double marble loaf cake

  • Foodycat on May 20, 2026

    Really good cake! I used SR flour with a little extra baking soda because I was out of plain flour, and olive oil in the glaze because I love the flavour of olive oil with chocolate. Took about 50 minutes to bake. Really tender crumb.

• Toasty olive oil granola

  • Lepa on September 16, 2025

    We like the spice in this granola. It is less sweet than other granolas I make, so seems a bit healthier.

• My favourite potato salad

  • MsMonsoon on July 12, 2025

    Delicious! Interesting vegan potato salad with lots of herbs, capers, and cornichons. Visually appealing too. Next time I might lightly chop the capers since they tended to hang out on the bottom of the bowl more than cling to the potatoes. I used about 40% more chives and dill than the recipe calls for. Used grape seed oil instead of rapeseed.

• Happiness soup

  • Pamsy on July 23, 2024

    Big disappointment! Yes, it was a lovely yellow colour, however, it tasted overwhelmingly of lemon and turmeric and I'm not over fond of turmeric. Reviews on Nigella.com raved about it, some had added onions/garlic/ginger, all of which I feel would greatly improve the recipe. I shall doctor the leftovers and hope for something better tomorrow.

• Double chocolate and strawberry tart

  • Pimlicocook on May 31, 2026

    Quick and easy, and tasted delicious - perfect with summer strawberries. I made the non-boozy option with lemon and vanilla and both adults and kids loved it. Would make again.

• Grapefruit margarita

  • firetriniti on September 20, 2024

    This was surprisingly quite good! Made it in a desperate attempt to use up grapefruit juice. Enough tequila to make it boozy, but nicely balanced by the juice mixer. A refreshing alternative to regular margaritas that has joined our summer drinks rotation.

• Macaroni cheese

  • firetriniti on April 07, 2024

    Used a mix of cheddar and Red Leicester. Had such hopes for this one as it looked like a quick and easy mac and cheese in the southern style (i.e. bound with egg). What I ended up with was a baked macaroni tortilla. It was tasty enough but not what I was aiming for! Will probably remake at some point when I'm desperate for mac and cheese, and will keep a close eye on the oven.

• Honey cake

  • Bessp on March 02, 2026

    Mine turned out quite dry and dense, but the butterscotch sauce saved it. It's a huge cake, if I make it again I'll do a half sized one. I made it in a Bundt pan and baked until a tester came out mostly clean, about 45 minutes.

• Red Leicester cauliflower cheese

  • Bessp on March 02, 2026

    I didn't add the bay leaf while boiling the cauliflower, but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. It turned out creamy, cheesy, and rich. I brought it to a dinner and it was a hit.

• Chicken and pea traybake

  • laws on January 09, 2026

    This is one of our go to recipes - great tasting and easy to make.

• Broccoli and Stilton soup

  • London_Mummy on January 25, 2026

    I usually make this soup from memory, but it was nice to follow the recipe - that's I added a chopped chilli at the start. I substituted St Agur cheese because Stilton was overpriced in the shop today & St Agur was discounted. I often buy & freeze reduced-to-clear Stilton in early January, which I use to make this soup, straight from frozen, along with the frozen broccoli.

  • London_Mummy on January 25, 2026

    I wanted to make a note for myself that I cooked this again in January 2026, having most recently cooked it on October 2025 but the new date came on to the old note. Anyway, it was much better with Stilton than St Agur.

• Butternut and sweet potato soup

  • London_Mummy on February 11, 2026

    This is a good, quick & easy recipe (particularly when you found the specified cut & packaged vegetables reduced to clear at Waitrose) which does not even require chopping an onion. Next time, however, I would use half the volume of stock since we prefer a mixh thicker soup. I'd also add some red lentils to increase the protein content. I substituted nutmeg for mace & Greek yogurt for buttermilk.

• Naan pizza

  • London_Mummy on January 02, 2026

    Well, it was more of an "inspired by" than "faithfully followed" recipe. We popped into the shop for milk but left with a haul of reduced-to-clear items which we rescued from food waste, including 1 kg of portobello mushrooms & 3 margherita pizzas, & cherry tomatoes & rocket for a salad - which made for a nice, express & very cheap lunch on a cold day.

• Pasta alla Genovese

  • London_Mummy on June 02, 2026

    What other recipe could it be, when I walked into Aldi to find both Jersey Royal baby potatoes & green beans on special offer at 89 p? Unfortunately, Aldi had neither vegetarian pesto nor fresh basil, nor did Co-op, nor M&S, which are all nextdoor to one another. Never mind, because M&S spaghetti was on offer at 75 p, & in the back of my freezer was some Waitrose pasta sauce which I had bought reduced to clear in March. So it was a cheap & easy dinner on this Tuesday evening.

• Turkish eggs

  • London_Mummy on October 19, 2025

    The combination of browned butter, Aleppo pepper, garlic, egg yolk & tangy yogurt, also with its creamy texture, is gorgeous. On the other hand, using 3 different pans, 1st thing in the morning, for just 1 portion, is not proportionate to the reward. It could be a good dish for a casual light supper or lunch party, with really good bread, provided you could get all the eggs poached at the same time, however, it is hard to make it look pretty. The Aleppo pepper burns fast! I made it perfectly, then it cooled & resolidified, & burnt when I remelted it, so I had to make it again. Another time, I'd make the butter & pepper as a separate step, immediately before serving, & remove the pan from the stove the moment it is done.

• No-knead black bread

  • threeleggedchaos on February 23, 2025

    excellent, keeps well i added 1/2 c ripe starter and works well Also in Cook, eat, repeat

• Spanish chicken with chorizo and potatoes

  • sarah_22kzqy on April 05, 2026

    Old family favourite

• Persian-style saffron chicken rice

  • sarah_22kzqy on April 05, 2026

    Great workday dinner
