Italian Christmas Pudding Cake
Italian Christmas Pudding Cake: This recipe is my own but at the same time a conflation of a couple of Italian Christmas must-haves: the glorious, fruit-studded panettone and crema di mascarpone, which is best described as tiramisu without the Savoiardi biscuit layer, and sometimes with pieces of chocolate stirred through the mascarpone mixture.
Meatzza
Meatzza: Of all the recipes in Nigellissima, this is the numero uno so far, in terms of repeat requests and general all-round joyous reception it gets at home. It amuses. But then, a culinary pun, it is intended to amuse: it looks like a pizza, but its base is made out of meatball mixture, moreover a meatball mixture you don't have to roll into balls but can simply press into a tin, rather like a juicy disc of meatloaf, or polpettone.
Italian Roast Chicken With Peppers and Olives
ITALIAN ROAST CHICKEN WITH PEPPERS AND OLIVES A roast chicken always feels celebratory; indeed, a roast chicken always is celebratory. The vibrantly coloured and intensely flavoured vegetables that are cooked alongside here seem only to underline this, offering their own brightness and brio, sunny in taste as well as mood.
Chocolate Olive Oil Cake
Chocolate Olive Oil Cake: Although I first came up with this recipe because I had someone coming for supper who - genuinely - couldn't eat wheat or dairy, it is so meltingly good, I now make it all the time for those whose life and diet are not so unfairly constrained, myself included.
