Nigella - At My Table
      Still A Domestic Goddess

As Autumn approaches the season of the big name cookbooks and television series appear, along with celebrity biographies.  So what better time for me to review Nigella: at my table,  and the television series as I don't have the book yet.

I have been a massive fan of Nigella's since 'How to be a Domestic Goddess' then found myself eagerly looking for other books she may have published, always on the look out for the next new book.


A little while ago, actually I think it was her last television series, Nigella was rebuked for making avocado on toast, which I must add, I absolutely love to eat.  Now she's back on our screen with Nigella: At My Table, which is on my Christmas wish list.  Making Turkish poached eggs with garlic infused yogurt, on sourdough toast, yuck, now this is one recipe that just doesn't appeal to me at all, Poached eggs are something I have to fancy anyway, let alone add garlic infused yogurt to it, but then, we all have different pallets right.
So far my favourite recipes are the brie and fig sandwich, what a delight, it was like an orchestra playing to my taste buds, the creaminess of the brie together with the sweetness of the figs was just delightful.  Oh I also need to add the pea and chicken tray bake to my favourites list, if you are in a hurry and don't have time to prepare a full on meal, this takes no time at all to put together, just pop the ingredients into an ovenproof dish, pop into the oven, this dish allows you to have a quick shower, catch up on chores, then voila, enjoy.

The next couple of dishes I'm looking forward to making are the 'no churn' ice cream and the glorious looking 'herby leg of lamb'.  
I have flicked through some of the pages of the book, as always the pictures and illustrations look as appealing as ever, drawing me into each and every recipe, but as I say, I haven't purchased it because its on my 'want for Christmas list'.

It looks like a great book especially for beginners, cooks looking for new ideas or if you feel you have exhausted all you culinary ideas, I feel sure it will inspire you to try some of the recipes.

I have seen Nigella: at my table as a cover price of £26, but many retailers have discounted it by half, so its worth shopping around for it.

I am truly loving the television series so far, I think it's the simplicity of the recipes that i have seen so far, nothing seems too complicated. So roll on tonight when I like to settle down and indulge with a glass of wine or two, mesmerised by the recipes on my television screen.

Until next time my lovelies, stay safe and stay fabulous.

Love

 Hello my friends, Firstly it's been a long time since my last blog,  for absolutely no reason other than it's just been put on the back boiler for a while, thank you for being here. So here I am with a chatty catch up for you. So where do I start,  yes it's best to start at the beginning of when I became absent isn't it and when I say the beginning I really mean the last few years that have been particularly difficult for me.  I don't know if I've kept you informed about my back situation but I have shared this on my YouTube channel certainly over the last few years anyway, that I suffer with rheumatoid arthritis.  I have done for over 30 years now but what's come to fruition over recent years is my back problem.  I was diagnosed with having severe osteoarthritis in my lower back and the top of my neck the vertebrae, lots of wear and tear bulging discs narrowing of the spinal cord canal. I was undergoing a lot of the treatment for example nerve blocks and ...

Hello My Lovelies, LIVING WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS The Old Lady Living In My Bones How It All Started When I was 36 years old I became very unwell, it started with flu like symptoms which rapidly turned into a chest infection, then swiftly upped its game and turned into pneumonia. My hospital stay was fairly lengthy because every antibiotic prescribed to me failed to work, as it turned out I had in fact been infected with Bird Flu.  Once I was treated by the correct named antibiotics the pneumonia cleared quite quickly, but unfortunately I was left with extremely painful joints. The following six months were taken up with regular hospital visits to see the Respiratory Consultant undergoing various tests and monitoring my joint pains.  After the six months of tooing and froing my Consultant explained that although the type of pneumonia I had can leave you with joint pains, but if they continue for any length of time its more than likely to be somet...
