Festive spread With Nigella Lawson
For Nigella Lawson, Christmas is a great excuse to potter about in the kitchen, to slow down, take cover from the frenzy of the holiday season and realise how comforting it can be to cook.
Christmas represents everything that she loves — food, entertaining, home and family.
In her new three-part seasonal series, Nigella’s Christmas Kitchen, to air on Discovery Travel and Living every Friday from December 5 to 19 at 10 p.m., Nigella will lay out her philosophy for actively enjoying cooking during the festive season.
Helping viewers deal with pre-Christmas entertaining, she will make them do some Christmas baking, including the recipes that have dropped off the Christmas list and the traditional Christmas dinner.
Nigella will deliver her method of cooking a turkey — guaranteed not to disappoint. She will give tips on how to reduce stress-levels and increase pleasure over the Christmas period.
Viewers will take a trip to a Salzburg Christmas market, an inspiration for cinnamon biscuits and brandy-infused hot chocolate.
She will show how the mouth-watering Rudolph Pie can be frozen and provides a stress-free meal for those lazy days between Christmas and New Year.
Finally, Nigella will detail the perfect Christmas Eve dinner with friends to make you wish it was Christmas Eve every day. Nigella is never happier than when in a kitchen made tropical by the heat of an oven filled with cakes, buns and biscuits. Baking, cake-making and fun food to hang on the tree is at the heart of this episode. Nigella begins by gathering inspiration at the Christmas market in Salzburg and adds a few twists of her own. And, viewers will be spell-bound as Nigella takes them through the how-do’s of her Christmas menu. Although the very idea of canapés seem to resonate 1970s, they are always fallen upon with gratitude as Christmas entertaining comes underway.
The concluding episode is ‘Life in the Old Bird Yet?’ In this, she shares with viewers her methods of cooking a turkey that will leave it super spiced, juicy roast and brined.
