Simply Nigella

Relaxed, inspiring and as mouthwatering as ever, Nigella Lawson's latest series Simply Nigella shows us that what and how we cook really can make us feel better and more alive. In this first episode, Nigella introduces us to recipes that are quick and calm. There is Nigella's favourite breakfast - a twist on avocado toast with radishes - as well as a deliciously different Thai noodle dish with cinnamon and prawns that was inspired by a recent holiday to Thailand, and a laid-back family supper of luscious lamb ribs with nigella and cumin seeds, served with a feta and avocado salad. To help wind down at the end of a hectic day, there's some stove-side pottering with Nigella's warm spiced cauliflower and chickpea salad. And a sweet treat comes in the form of a beautifully simple apricot almond cake.

In this episode, Nigella introduces her favourite recipes for sharing with family and friends. Whether it is a tray of nourishing breakfast bars for those mornings you need to grab and go, a supper of crunchy chicken cutlets that are just as much fun in the making as in the eating, or Nigella's latest addition to her Chocolate Cake Hall of Fame - her stunning dark and sumptuous chocolate cake - every recipe is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. There is a pork bun feast too. First inspired by a visit to a New York eatery, Nigella's succulent belly pork burgers - with their array of condiments and picky bits - are now a favourite DIY lunch when the hordes descend.
