Chicken, Mushroom and Bacon Pie Even the word pie is comforting. But then, it would be hard to deny the very real lure of pastry, especially when, as here, you know you're going to dunk it in gravied juices till its luscious lightne...

Chicken, Mushroom and Bacon Pie is #RecipeOfTheDay! Purists won’t consider these pies, though, as they’re unashamedly lid-only affairs. Luckily, the rest of us can happily revel in them. www.nigella.com/recipes/chic...

Spinach, Avocado and Pumpkin Seed Salad This is one of my favourite salads: superb with salmon; wonderful alone. If you don't have any pumpkin oil, simply replace both pumpkin and groundnut oils with good extra virgin olive oil.

Spinach, Avocado and Pumpkin Seed Salad is #RecipeOfTheDay! I just hope you can avocados that aren’t as hard as billiard balls. www.nigella.com/recipes/spin...

Perfect Sunday supper!

Slow Roast Pork Belly There are a few meals I can say I'm making that will make my children as excited as this. Alongside there must be Pie Insides (which is what my daughter has always called leeks in white sauce) and for...

Slow Roast Pork Belly is #RecipeOfTheDay – a boon for lazy cooks and greedy eaters alike! www.nigella.com/recipes/slow...

I mean, you can cook it like this, but without the crackling, it can’t be the same. And you might need to add liquid to help keep it tender

I fear so.

Thank you, Tracy, I do! And I hope you can have a good weekend

Instant Chocolate Mousse When you haven't got time for overnight setting in the fridge or you don't want to use raw eggs, this mousse is perfect. In fact, at all times, constraints or not, it is chocaliciously gorgeous.

Sometimes good things come to those who can’t wait: Instant Chocolate Mousse is #RecipeOfTheDay! If you’re avoiding raw eggs, or can’t eat eggs full-stop, these beauties are also very much for you. (Most supermarkets sell the mini marshmallows you need for this.) www.nigella.com/recipes/inst...

I must try that! Thank you

That sounds wonderful

Thank you, Tracy!

I’m so thrilled! Thank you, Paula

Green Tahini Sauce I’m often to be found, bowl in front of me, stick blender in hand, mixing up a green tahini sauce: it turns any plate of vegetables into a feast, though its robust earthiness is particularly glorious ...

This gorgeous Green Tahini Sauce, seen here anointing some roast sweet potatoes, is #RecipeOfTheDay! Given the time of year, I feel I should tell you that you can replace some or all of the herbs with wild garlic. This bold, creamy (vegan) sauce is great with so much! www.nigella.com/recipes/gree...

I think the peanut butter might overpower it

Smoked Trout Pate This pâté takes the merest moment to make and yet it is a wonderful start to a meal or, indeed, a whole meal in itself. I don't even need a salad with it: I'm happy with toast or crusty bread, and may...
