NB. I’ve had this recipe post sat in drafts since the 1st lockdown. Of course we were released from that lockdown, only to re-enter again. I’ve also gone vegan, then vegetarian and back to flexible eating in the meantime. Well, long delayed but probably more of a November than May […]

Nigella introduces us to this recipe with a sweet headnote about her amusement at eating the butt of the pig, which actually relates to the shoulder and not the rear end. Pork Shoulder is a good value joint and I was looking for a faff free recipe that did not require separates rubs and sauces and marinades. This recipe did not disappoint on the faff-free front.
Well, if any time is right to turn to both the domestic Goddess’ cookbooks and flourless baking – it is this time. These flourless peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are from Nigella’s oft stated ‘healthy’ cookbook. Well, there are some dairy and gluten free options, but this isn’t a diet […]
This recipe was truly born from necessity. Inspired by all the banana bread baking I’ve been witnessing, I’ve been stocking up on bananas, with the full knowledge that they won’t be eaten as is. This is nothing new. My dilemma was a lack of plain flour and an abundance of lacto-fermented blueberries, from an optimistic ferment-happy afternoon a few weeks ago.
I LOVE breakfast cereal in almost all its guises (there is a special place in hell reserved for nasty Sugar Puffs). Malty Kelloggs Start and the classic Coco Pops are dangerously addictive faves. Is there a better way to spend an evening than with a box of cereal, some ice […]
I am definitely in a bit of a baking frenzy at the moment, last week I made three different loaf cakes in a 48 hour period (including this Dense chocolate loaf cake) – this reignited passion for baking is certainly not conducive to my healthy eating. I also ordered a […]
Rocky road is one of those treats that appeals to all. A medley of chocolate and other niceties, divided into minute portions that no one really adheres to. It is a sweet treat for overeating, not being calorie conscious. Growing up in the 90s, Rocky Road seemed almost exotic. Americana […]
I first made this sweet n’ salty Honey Pie at a little dinner party I held to celebrate the launch of Nigella Lawson’s last book, Simply Nigella. I reviewed the book and the Honey Pie in a now defunct blog – both the book and the pie received glowing praise […]
For someone who isn’t a ‘Chilli Head’, (I start to sweat even looking at a bottle of the ubiquitous Sriracha sauce), I fucking love a chilli! I’ve had to add a dedicated chilli section dedicated to them here on Pigley’s Kitchen, or maybe I’ll just set up a separate chilli-fangirl […]
Everyday Brownies… because one should never consider a life where one cannot enjoy a brownie everyday. After reinvigorating the art of home-baking with her sophomore tome, How To Be a Domestic Goddess, long before that exiled BBC TV show, the Rt. Honourable Nigella Lawson should be rightfully viewed as a […]
