Nigella: At My Table ep.5
Nigella shares ideas for feasts throughout the day. Nigella's savoury take on French toast is an ideal choice for weekend brunch or a comforting and quick supper. With friends to entertain, Nigella rustles up an informal Mediterranean dish for dinner - juicy spiced lamb kofta with garlic sauce.
For pudding, her guests are treated to a delicate-tasting rose and pepper pavlova with strawberries, inspired by her grandfather's penchant for strawberries with a grinding of pepper. There is also an aromatic golden egg curry and a delicious white chocolate cheesecake.

White chocolate cheesecake[/caption]
The shades of my ancestors are, no doubt, horrified that 1) this is an unbaked cheesecake and 2) white chocolate finds its way into it. So be it. Besides, I have no need to be defensive about this: the white chocolate is only a delicate presence here; nothing to offend a white-chocolate-hater. And, moreover, it helps the cheesecake set in the fridge overnight to a perfect, tenderly firm consistency.

While obviously a contender for weekend brunch, this savoury take on French toast is, for me, a perfect early supper when I feel like something comforting and quick. It’s also exactly what I need when I’ve come back in late, having uncharacteristically and disturbingly gone without dinner.

Golden egg curry[/caption]
This – called masak lemak telur in Malaysian – is very far removed from the egg curries I remember from my early youth, and would much prefer to forget. What i have here are eggs poached in a rich, aromatic, turmeric-tinted, tamarind-sharp, coconutty sauce or soup.

Another serving of irresistible dishes as Nigella shares some of her go-to favourites. For the perfect start to the day there’s a breakfast inspired by her university days, fried bread and tomato hash.
