Canard a l'orange
Traditionally, oranges go with duck (Nigella p48). Thank you Nigella; I couldn’t agree more! So, in light of this, we will be having canard a l’orange for dinner, or should I say dîner? I suppose he is right. Anyway, after thinking for a while, we decided to serve it with chipped roasted sweet potatoes. Probably not in the same register, but delicious nonetheless. Where do I start? Aside from that, everything is easy to source; I purchased everything from Waitrose. Also, carving the bird is frustrating t...

Cauliflower cheese
Naturally, cheese sauce can be used to cover a cooked head of small cauliflower: in other words, that other nursery classic, cauliflower cheese (Nigella, p476). There is another reason, besides my fondness for cauliflower that I wanted to make this cauliflower cheese. My dad used to make an amazing cauliflower cheese, enveloped in a thick, rich, savoury, cheesy, mustardy sauce. We used to eat it as a main course in its entirety (maybe with some vegetables) and (again! Cooked(ish) and drained cauliflower).

Lidgate's chestnut stuffing
I couldn’t improve on his recipes, and so I’ve got them for you (Nigella, p61). I am also making roasted potatoes and chicken gravy to accompany this. For once, I am not serving vegetables with this meal because we have so much food in the fridge at the moment during the run-up to Christmas, that I really don’t think that anything else will fit in there. As it is, I am cramming the chicken in bottom on its side! The chestnut puree which I used). The shallots and chopped bacon frying in melted butter).

English roast chicken with all the trimmings
English roast chicken with all the trimmings. English roast chicken with all the trimmings. A fine Sunday lunch was roast chicken as it always used to be done, with parsley and thyme stuffing, bread or onion sauce, roast potatoes and sausages and honey-roast parsnips (Nigella, p295-296). I think that its only right to clarify exactly what English roast chicken with all the trimmings actually entails. Basically, the main meat is chicken, filled with a parsley and thyme stuffing. To accompany, we h...In te...

Marinated chicken drumsticks
Easily made, easily eaten (Nigella, p490). I am making these chicken drumsticks during the week. They indeed seem easy enough to become weekday dinner. I’m usually too busy during the week to go into anything too labour intensive (indeed, my recent efforts seem to run to no more than Birdseye chicken dippers! I am taking a stand! Can you believe that we had absolutely everything that we needed for the marinade mustard, honey, garlic, white wine, lemon, onion already at home? The marinade made from all of...

Tagliatelle with chicken from the Venetian ghetto
Tagliatelle with chicken from the Venetian ghetto. Liatelle with chicken from the Venetian ghetto. You may notice, if you look at the index in HTE, that this is the penultimate chicken recipe. How exciting! As I have said before, I am really looking forward to finishing the chicken section and am pleased to be nearly there. After I make the tarragon French roast chicken, I want at least a month’s break from poultry of any kind! Rather, my meat will be of the red variety (I’m thinking steak, pork and lamb!

Chocolate sauce - poires Belle Helene
Chocolate sauce - poires belle Helene. Chocolate sauce Poires Belle Helene. They’re not nursery food and it isn’t just nostalgia that makes me dredge them up (Nigella, p244). My knowledge extends a little further than that, because I do know that the origins of poires belle Helene stretch back, even further than that. Nigella alludes to its Victorian provenance, and Wikipedia confirms it! Indeed, I copied and pasted this snippet of information for you: Poires belle Hélène (. Birne Helene) is a. The pears...

Corner-cut topside of beef
Corner-cut topside of beef. Again, Nigella serves this part of a meal, with new potatoes with truffle oil, peas or a dark leaf salad and rice pudding. Once again, I have decided to serve this with roast potatoes (which my OH has kindly offered to make) and roasted asparagus (yet again! The beef, tomato, onion and red wine totalled 10.12. However, I had no need to purchase the beef dripping, garlic cloves, beef stock, salt, pepper or sugar. Lovely corner-cut topside of beef- YUM! Beef out of oven; resting).

Beetroot soup
It seems odd not to be convinced about beetroot but to be passionate about this, because in a way this thick, velvety soup, is the sweet, smooth essence of beef (Nigella, p436.). This recipe does seem to have a lot going for it, though. I love the inclusion of Dijon mustard. As you may know, I love Dijon mustard and my OH and I always have a pot in our fridge. I am therefore predisposed to respond positively toward any recipe which includes this particular ingredient. Beetroot soup reheating on the stove).

Gypsy toast
Nigella says that she rather loves this with maple syrup and bacon and so I, too, am making the toast with both of these accompaniments. In fact, Nigella’s method is very similar to one of the first Nigella recipes that I ever made from Nigella Bites (my first Nigella book); pancakes with wafer bacon and maple syrup. As I say, it was one of the first of her recipes that I ever made, and I adored it instantly. I am sure it is one of the reasons why I am the Nigella convert that I am today. Bread section: ...
