I vow from this day forward to keep a stash of mixed seafood in the freezer, so I too have the resources to make Nigella’s Speedy Seafood Supper at a moment’s notice.

A rapturous joy that was, until today, just a figment of my imagination: Nigella's Easter Egg Nest Cake took corporeal form from my Monday-bake and it truly is an iconic Eastertime showpiece.

Nigella’s Chicken Cosima is a bowl of apricot comfort that is every bit as beautiful as it is delicious: qualities echoed from the mother-daughter relationship upon which it was forged.

Continuing my new-found love of bitterness with Nigella’s Chicken Traybake with Bitter Orange and Fennel: a delicious combination of tender-sweet chicken and bitter-sweet anise-crunch.

My version might lack that auburn, tawny flare, but Nigella’s Marmalade Pudding Cake hits every note that a Sunday-dinner pud should: addictively good and great with custard, and ice cream, and cream.

Beautifully fragranced meatballs, bobbing about in a creamy Thai coconut sauce: Nigella’s Thai Turkey Meatballs were the perfect ending to a much better week. This is the kind of food that lifts spirits, re-energises, and satisfies.

The best outcome of a fridge forage I could have ever hoped for: Nigella’s Pasta with Onions and Anchovies: a bowl of buttery, honeyed, allium sweetness with the depth of umami and the saltiness of the ocean.

My mum is not all that fussed about desserts, if truth be told. She is, however, rather fond of a lemon-based pud. So, my little token of gratitude to her this Mothers Day was this rather scrummy Lemon Meringue Cake from Nigella's (book) Feast.

The smells of roasting pancetta in a potent garlic oil permeated the house with a promise of very good things to come; Nigella’s Linguine with Garlic Oil and Pancetta is deliciously simple and just what the doctor ordered.

Building a bejeweled mound of crispy pita bread, spiced meat, and a garlicky, tahini-spiked yogurt, with a glamorous adornment of pomegranate seeds, toasted pinenuts, and shredded mint leaves; Nigella’s Beef and Aubergine Fatteh is as rewarding to assemble as it is to eat.

Roasting a lettuce smothered in an anchovified, garlicky oil for Nigella’s Riff on a Caesar Salad. Divine.

There’s not just no need to knead Nigella’s No-Knead Bread; there’s no need to stress over kneading right like you might if a bread that isn’t no-knead, needed to be kneaded right.

Nigella’s Chocolate Guinness cake is like a dark, malty, chocolate porter in cake form with a tangy-sweet frosting to boot. And we are absolutely in love with it.

For the unpracticed fish cook, like me, Nigella’s Fear-Free Fish Stew takes the stress and anxiety out of cooking with fish; yielding perfectly tender chunks of white fish in a beautifully spiced tomato sauce.

Nigella’s Apple and Cinnamon Muffins were a welcomed delight to skip merrily into March with; sweet with honey and apple, and wholesome and nutty with spelt and unblanched almonds.

From my first flick through the gloriously illustrated, new-book-smell-scented, freshly-printed crisp pages of Cook Eat Repeat, I knew I had to make Nigella’s Fennel Gratin.

Nigella’s Lemon Pavlova proved everything that I thought I knew about myself to be very wrong indeed. Okay, my meringue wasn’t perfect, but this dessert is tongue-tinglingly delicious.

Happiness filled my soul, gladness filled my heart, and the grin on my face bared every tooth in pride when I pulled this gorgeously golden loaf from the oven. Day 52 is Nigella’s Old-fashioned Sandwich Loaf.

I believe there is an unbeatable, comfort-inducing quality about a Grandmother’s dessert, and Nigella’s Grandmother’s Ginger Jam Bread and Butter Pudding is a supreme embodiment of that belief.

Marking the first milestone in this 365-day Nigella cookalong with Nigella’s Italian Roast Chicken with Peppers and Olives.
