Anyone who knows me well knows that I get hooked on specific things occasionally. Examples are.....Vanessa Paradis, Knitting, Korean anything, John Denver and Michelle Williams. Well, my newest infatuation is Nigella Lawson. I love her show on the new Cooking channel, she's very quirky and fun to watch. The new Cooking channel is fast becoming a favorite. I love to cook food from different cultures and there are some good shows about Indian, Chinese and French cooking on there.
Anyway, I checked out all of Nigella's cookbooks at the local library (only 4 have come in so far) and they are all fabulous! I have already found some favorite recipes that I just HAVE to try!
Next month for Bay's Gotcha Day she wants me to make this Clementine Cake and if the kids are really lucky I might make Nigella's Brownie recipe this weekend. All three kids......I mean four with Cassie ADORE chocolate. I will be a culinary hero for sure.
~Brownie Review~ I made these for the kids last night but I had to take a nibble. These are made with dark chocolate and walnuts and are soooo moist! The kids loved them and I just have to say that they are probably the best brownies I have ever made.....very decadent!!
Some non-sweet dishes I'd like to try are her Aloo Gobi (I've been looking everywhere for one made without tomatoes), Badenjan Dip, Roquamole, and White Bean Mash and Saffron Sented Chicken Pilaf. (I've asked for Saffron in my stocking this Christmas.......Please Santa!)
Jim, Bay and I went out to our favorite lunch place today (Big Truck Tacos) and ran by the Asian Market and picked up some Yellow Curry paste to try Chicken Fillets in Golden Curry Sauce. I found that recipe on my new iphone app. Don't tell Jimmy.....I usually get the $.99 cent apps but I splurged and got this one but even at $7.99 I think with was well worth it. I love it and it even has a hands free voice control so you don't get sticky fingers all over your phone while you are cooking.
Do any of you have a favorite Nigella recipe?
Favourite Nigella recipe? Hmm, I have many. Double potato halloumi bake from Nigella Bites, Chocolate Fudge Cake from Nigella Bites, The best ever chocolate ice-cream from How To Eat (it really is the best ever), the Baci Ice cream from Forever Summer. Honestly every Nigella recipe we have tried, we have loved, and hubby usually uses 'magnificent' to describe any Nigella recipe we try. She is a pure genius of the culinary world.
