The justly named Queen of Puddings is #RecipeOfTheDay! I’ve gone a bit Marie Antoinette and used brioche crumbs for the custardy base, but you can, of course, use the more traditional breadcrumbs – though they’d need to be made from actual bread and not from a packet. www.nigella.com/recipes/quee...

It’s such a waste of the wonderfulness of chestnuts just to have them with Brussels sprouts! I always keep a few packs of the vacuum-packed ones to hand, ready and they’re needed for #RecipeOfTheDay: Chestnut and Pancetta Salad (though bacon would do too)🌰 www.nigella.com/recipes/ches...

Forgot to tell you that it’s gluten-free!🤦🏻‍♀️

Should you still have quite a few clementines about the place, you might be particularly interested in #RecipeOfTheDay, even if you did make (as I did) this Clementine Cake over Christmas. Its bright sunniness is just what’s needed now, I rather feel! www.nigella.com/recipes/clem...

Italian Sausages with lentils; Maltese Baked Macaroni ; Lemon Polenta Cake: these are the recipes that I’m cooking this week to ease myself deliciously into the New Year. You mught wish to do likewise! www.nigella.com/latest/food-...

It’s the custom: on January the 1st #RecipeOfTheDay just has to be Eggs in Purgatory. Just letting you know now in case I’m not up and running in the morning! Happy New Year, and may 2026 be kind to us all. www.nigella.com/recipes/eggs...

I admire the Dutch for many reasons, one of which is that they celebrate the New Year with doughnuts. I’ve taken a leaf out of their book, and so Oliebollen, the doughnuts in question, are #RecipeOfTheDay. And Happy New Year! www.nigella.com/recipes/new-...

This week’s Guest Recipe from the #CookbookCorner archive is the Potted Ham from The Get-Ahead Christmas Cook: the Indispensable Companion for Effortless Festive Entertaining by Jane Lovett! www.nigella.com/recipes/gues...

Rich, boozy and deeply luscious, my No-Bake Advocaat and Ginger Cake is the gratifyingly low-effort #RecipeOfTheDay! You need to layer it up and set it in the fridge a day before you want to eat it, by the way. www.nigella.com/recipes/no-b...

Parmesan shortbreads are the perfect accompaniment to any festive fizz you may be uncorking to celebrate the New Year. They’re #RecipeOfTheDay now in case you want a get a head start on them, but they’re neither difficult nor time-consuming to make. www.nigella.com/recipes/parm...

This No-Knead Black Bread is just divine with smoked salmon, if you’re thinking of serving that for New Year’s Eve celebrations, and it’s wonderful with so much else besides. Plus it’s effortless to make, though it does need a day to prove. And it’s #RecipeOfTheDay! www.nigella.com/recipes/no-k...

And I have a bonus Boxing Day present for you in the form of the Turkey, Ham, Gruyère and Kimchi Monte Cristo Sandwich from Rick Stein’s Christmas: Recipes, Memories and Stories for the Festive Season, which features in my special Christmas #CookbookCorner! www.nigella.com/recipes/gues...

Rather late in the day to be sure, but #RecipeOfTheDay is this Turkey and Glass Noodle Salad! www.nigella.com/recipes/turk...

My ultimate Christmas Cocktail, the Poinsettia, is of course #RecipeOfTheDay, and I raise a glass to you! I won’t be on here for the rest of today, but before I go off to peel my potatoes let me wish you all a very Merry Christmas! 🎄♥️🎄 www.nigella.com/recipes/poin...

You could argue that the roast potatoes are the most important element to get right at Christmas. Perfect Roast Potatoes create perfect happiness. Which is why they are, indeed, #RecipeOfTheDay! www.nigella.com/recipes/perf...

By this time tonight I was meant to have made my bread sauce, cranberry sauce and begun the gingerbread stuffing, and yet I find myself, tasks still undone, on my sofa, with drink and cake to hand, happily gazing at my Christmas-Grotto-garden. Rather thrilled with my new light-up deer, I must say.

I can’t pretend this is a festive suggestion as I’m not sure that a book about the trial of a woman who poisoned her in-laws is a tactful Christmas present, but The Mushroom Tapes: Conversations on a Triple Murder Trial by Helen Garner, Chloe Hooper and Sarah Krasnostein is just too brilliant 1/4

🚨Last-minute present ideas for the thinking cook or, indeed, eater. Just get yourself to the nearest bookshop before it closes!

Excellent news!

Breakfast Trifle – yes, Breakfast Trifle – is #RecipeOfTheDay, a happy proposition indeed! www.nigella.com/recipes/brea...

This week’s Guest Recipe from the #CookbookCorner archive is the Ginger Pig Venison Bourguignon Pie from the Ginger Pig Christmas Cookbook by Tim Wilson and Rebecca Seal! www.nigella.com/recipes/gues...

OK, so I know it sounds odd to be suggesting a Summer Pudding in the middle of winter, but 1) it works brilliantly with frozen berries; 2) a bit of sharpness and zing can be just the ticket over Christmas; and 3) it’s just perfect for those in the Southern Hemisphere! www.nigella.com/recipes/summ...

@bsky.app should come with Nigella prefollowed.

I’ve just got my gravy (my time-honoured Allspice Gravy!) on, so thought I’d post the recipe for those of you who also want to get ahead! www.nigella.com/recipes/alls...

I know I wrote about this and gave a link to the recipe in my Season’s Eatings post on December 1st, but since I so love this new recipe, and it’s the latest you can make it in comfortable time for the festivities, I just had to post my Christmas Loaf Cake again now! www.nigella.com/recipes/chri...

It’s nearly time to brine: #RecipeOfTheDay is Spiced and Superjuicy Roast Turkey! www.nigella.com/recipes/spic...

Since I posted the Spiced Peaches to go with my Christmas ham earlier, I thought I may as well do the decent thing and alert you to this Slow-Cooked Black Treacle/Molasses ham recipe which I’m planning to do this year. It’s just so very good, and so very easy. www.nigella.com/recipes/slow...

We all have our own traditions: one of mine is the time-honoured pairing of my Christmas ham with these Spiced Peaches that are #RecipeOfTheDay! I’m talking tinned or jarred peaches, obviously, though those in the Southern Hemisphere have the good fortune of fresh. www.nigella.com/recipes/spic...

I have just gone through a weird mental journey from “never heard of these things” through “hang on just making stuffing as a snack, is that even allowed?” to “I must have this, immediately, where can I get some panettone” in the space of about forty seconds

Further to my post earlier today, this is my Gingerbread Stuffing which very much has pride of place on the 25th! You don’t need to make your own gingerbread for this. Indeed, I routinely use McVitie’s Jamaica Ginger Cake, but any sweet spiced loaves would do. www.nigella.com/recipes/ging...

Panettone Stuffing Squares are. #RecipeOfTheDay! I think of them as savoury brownies and serve them as a canapé with drinks rather than to accompany the turkey, but you could absolutely do that, too! www.nigella.com/recipes/pane...

If you cannot abide dried fruit, then you need my Chocolate Pudding for Christmas Pudding Haters, which is proudly #RecipeOfTheDay: you can make the chocolate sauce ahead; the pud is easy to mix up; and you can set it a-steaming while you’re eating lunch! www.nigella.com/recipes/choc...

I’m ecstatic that my new Tres Leches Cake is #RecipeOfTheDay! I can’t stop making this as it is, but I know it will really come into its own this Christmas. It’s easy, make-ahead, and more compellingly delicious than it has any right to be! www.nigella.com/recipes/tres...

I’ve just popped a jar of pickled red cabbage in the fridge for eating with my Christmas ham and alongside or in sandwiches next week, and thought it was only fair to bring the recipe to your attention now, too! www.nigella.com/recipes/pick...
