Don't Knock It Till You've Tried It

Whether you're cooking for family, friends or just yourself, suppertime needs to be easy. No time to bake is no problem with Nigella's Irish oaten roll: fast and easy to make, they are instant comfort and instant gratification. Salty and sweet may not sound like a match made in heaven, but Nigella's Sweet And Salty Crunch Nut Bars are totally irresistible. Plus take a leap of faith with her inky Black Squink Risotto, as dramatically spectacular with its black rice and sauteed squid topping as it is simple to make. There's also an unusual slow-cooked melt in the mouth Asian Braised Shin of Beef topped with a crisp hot and sour shredded salad.
