Nigella decamps to the countryside for her cosiest Christmas yet. Against a backdrop of crackling log fires and sparkling lights, Nigella shares her tips for relaxed entertaining, bringing new flavours to the festivities and the cosiness of familiar fare. Inspired by the beauty of her surroundings, Nigella throws a party, serving platters of devilled eggs and a sparkling cocktail. She creates a feast of roast duck with orange, soy and ginger, alongside garlic and parmesan mashed potato gratin and sour-sweet soused red cabbage with cranberries, made in advance to make life that little bit easier. There is also an exotic take on brussel sprouts. For dessert, there is a glorious sticky toffee pudding, made all the more delicious with an effortless, no-churn brandy salted caramel ice cream. For a simple fireside supper, Nigella rustles up a warmly spiced Moroccan vegetable hotpot with a dill and pine nut couscous, and chocolate pistachio meringue cookies for a sweet after-dinner treat.

Nigella cooks more warming, comforting and inspirational recipes. Perfect for winding down at the end of a long day, there's a cosy supper of chicken with red grapes and marsala, followed by a deeply divine sunken chocolate amaretto cake with crumbled amaretti cream dolloped alongside.   For a dish that's as simple to make as it is rewarding to eat, there's Nigella's mussels with pasta, and just as delicious is her autumnal radicchio, chestnut and blue cheese salad. Her egg tortilla pie with a crisp crust, soft yolked eggs, salty ham and melted cheese is a pleasure to behold.

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.  1. White chocolate cheesecake [caption id="attachment_608" align="alignnone" width="300"] 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

Nigella's friends are treated to a vegan feast, with a rambunctiously vibrant butternut and sweet potato curry served with her coriander and jalapeno salsa.

A speedy meal comes in the form of a simple and tasty pasta dish with anchovies, tomatoes and mascarpone.     Another serving of irresistible dishes as Nigella shares some of her go-to favourites.

But I can’t tell you how easy it was. Oh, and did I say they were vegan? As is thi

Treats are in store as Nigella rustles up some of her favourite dishes to share around the table.

That is followed by her voluptuously soft and rich chocolate olive oil mousse. For a delicious snack that is unbelievably moreish, there is Nigella's coconut shrimp with turmeric yoghurt - hot crisp prawns with a cool smooth dipping sauce. And her favourite dishes like ginger and walnut carrot cake never fails to win over friends and family.   1.

Nigella At My Table ep.1 recipes:    Turkish eggs If I hadn’t eaten the Turkish eggs at Peter Gordon’s restaurant, I most certainly wouldn’t be tempted by the idea of poached eggs on Greek yoghurt.
