tip

DINNER FOR ONE
Get one egg yolk, some grated parmesan,the juice and zest of about half a lemon (or less), about five tablespoons of cream. Salt and pepper. Mix them together with a fork. In the meantime, put some fettucine or other fat noodles on to boil. Chop up some parsley. When the pasta is almost cooked, drain it and pop it back in the pot, off the heat. Roll some butter through it, as much as you like. Then, very quickly, put the eggy lemon mix in, and stir it through briskly so it does not turn into scrambled eggs. Tip it in a bowl, sprinkle it with parsley, devour, hopefully while wearing pyjamas. This is a Nigella recipe and I can't stop thinking about eating it again.

the vermillion discs tumble in



NOTES TAKEN WHILE WATCHING NIGELLA LAWSON:

Tangine:
dark lady

Ruby droplets of pomegranate

Carmen miranda's christmas crown

The russian formalists said the purpose of literature was to make the stones stonier, this makes the nuts nuttier.

Lovely...river...of pink juice...folded together in a messy clump...

I love their...waxy richness

What you do with this beautiful amber disc, is break it up into big fat gold shards...

One meat is a meal, two meats is a feast!

Glorious porcini...expensive, but, you're worth it

There's something strange that happens when you add them to the porcini, its like they respond to the call of the wild

Look at this venison (mince), like something out of a still life

Far from dreading that recurring turkey, I live for it

Blitzed into wonderful, velvety, creamy emulsions.

Treacle: just malevolent
