1. Fast FoodNigella Lawson provides a step by step guide to creating delicious recipes for every occasion, be it cooking for many or for those times when you are home alone. For Nigella entertaining means sharing time with friends, not spending hours slaving over a hot stove and the taste of the food is far more important than agonising over presentation. Today she tackles creating delicious food in a very short space of time. On the list are lemon linguine and chicken with couscous and a delicious chocolate dessert.CC30minAug 30, 2000
2. EntertainingFor Nigella, entertaining means spending time with friends, not anguishing alone in the kitchen, and the taste of the food is far more important than its presentations. To take the strain out of home entertaining Nigella goes a Middle Eastern style meze. The food itself is not all from the Middle East, rather it's the pattern of eating that's emulated, with a series of dishes, including hummus with yogurt, olive oil and toasted pinenuts, lime-sharp guacamole studded with green chili, garlic and prosciutto with beans. This is easy cooking and easy eating.CC30minSep 6, 2000
3. Family FoodWe all have certain foods which comfort us because they remind us of childhood. Dishes that our parents prepared for us always retain a special place in our hearts. For Nigella, her ultimate ‘desert island dish' is her mother's steak bearnaise and, for dessert, her grandmother's poached pears with vanilla ice cream and dark, luscious chocolate sauce.CC30minSep 13, 2000
