Speculaas Biscuits | Nigella's Recipes | Nigella Lawson
You’re unlikely to get very far in Amsterdam without coming across these festively spiced and beautiful biscuits, and nor would you want to. They are the perfect Christmas cookie. Traditionally — and it’s how bakeries still sell them, though they’re made less and less at home — they’re made by pressing the dough onto carved wooden moulds, which give the biscuits the look of …

Tartiflette | Guest Recipes | Nigella's Recipes | Nigella Lawson
Along with raclette and fondue, tartiflette is one of Savoie’s most famous dishes, a gratin of potatoes, onions, bacon and the local Reblochon cheese. Its origins are a little confused. The name undoubtedly derives from the local patois for potato, tartiflâ, and tartiflette was first mentioned in a 1705 book written by the chef Francois Massialot, Le Cuisinier Royal et …

Recipes by Nigella Lawson. I personally love eggnog, on its own, as a latte or in this case as a gingerbread cocktail.
Victoria Sponge | Nigella's Recipes | Nigella Lawson
A Victoria Sponge is one of the simplest cakes there is and quite one of the best. Plain, airy cakes, sandwiched with sweet jam and smooth, whipped cream: it is no wonder that it has been such a favourite through the generations. My version tinkers only a little with the traditional model: I use a mixture of flour and cornflour/cornstarch in the sponge, which creates cakes that are ...
Pickled Red Cabbage | Nigella's Recipes | Nigella Lawson
Soft, soused, slow-braised red cabbage has been part of my Christmas table forever. I will never forsake it (and do check out the tangy version with cranberries) but I have come to the conclusion that this pickle is now every bit as essential to my season’s eatings. It’s barely any work to make and is so much better than the pickled red cabbage that you buy from a shop. I do think it …
Lamb Kofta with Garlic Sauce | Nigella's Recipes | Nigella Lawson
These are rather like Eastern Mediterranean meatballs in sausage form, though you can come across them as fat burger-like patties, too. As loose-packed sausages, they’re formed around skewers and turned over an open flame. Since I rarely use a barbecue, but just stare at it being rained on in the garden, I simply fry them in a pan. And much as I like the long lollipop …
Cheese Fondue | Nigella's Recipes | Nigella Lawson
I don't suppose this is ever going to win plaudits from the World Health Organisation, but a cheese fondue is surely the stuff of dreams. On the plus side, health-wise, I love it best with radishes, chicory, spears of radicchio and carrots dipped in, but I don't know why I am trying to engage with that particular argument. Make a vat of this, and supply nothing other than fruit afterwards or ...
