I love Nigella.
Like I really really love her. I love her food and her attitude and her eyebrows.
I love her eyebrows.
I wish she would publish a new cookbook every week because I would totally buy it. And I wish she would be on television more, not less. More.
Just sayin’.
Naturally I scooped up her new cookbook, Nigella Kitchen: Recipes from the Heart of the Home
I kept giving her cookbook adoring looks but hadn’t tried anything until I received the November 2010 issue of Food & Wine and saw the recipe for Caramel-Croissant Pudding.
Hello!
Immediately my incredible spidey cookbook senses started tingling as I realized I’d seen this recipe before. Ah, my sweet Nigella!
So technically I am doing away with two birds by using only one croissant (I don’t believe in throwing stones at birds). I am both telling you about Nigella’s book
This pudding was extravagant and amazing. While it’s best eaten warm, I brought it to work the day after making it and it was still delicious. Trust me, though. The first time you make it dig into it while it’s warm. It’s like a crispy, caramelly trip to heaven.
It could only have been better if my eyebrows looked like Nigella’s. But I digress.
It being the holiday season I’m guessing that folks are pretty busy because I only have one MM submission this week. That’s okay. But remember, anyone can take part. All you have to do is send along a link to a magazine recipe that you’ve posted. This week I’m joined by:
Melissa of Baking Makes Things Better made Christmas Cookies from Issue 24 of Donna Hay. She also made a Roast Tomato and Broad Bean Salad with Haloumi from Issue 56 of Foodtown Magazine.
Have a great week, everyone!
Ciao!

I love Nigella too! That pudding is devilishly scrumptious.
Cheers,

I love Nigella and her amazing eyebrows too! She’s awesome!

I love Nigella and her massive… er, eyebrows? too

She’s such a pleasure to listen to. Her and Jamie Oliver make a person want to move to Britain. I’ve seen a croissant bread pudding before, and oh, how decadent does that sound?! Looks delicious. I’m tempted to try a panettone bread pudding this year.
Cheers,

I have to get with the program. I shall definitely explore Nigella in 2011 (New Years resolution).

I ADORE Nigella Lawson!

Hehe… I’m adding myself to the adoring list of Nigella’s fans. She’s definitely larger than life, in a positive way, and her puddings are always worth it. Her books are really a pleasure to read. However what really won me over are not her eyebrows, though remarkable. It’s her accent. She’s got the most gorgeous accent ever.

I agree Nigella is awesome. I love her Christmas show on Food Network, her food is rich and decadent.

Ooooh, Nigella. LOVE her. Definitely have a petit crush on her… and pretty much every recipe of hers that I’ve laid my eyes on.

I love Nigella also. Would love to have her as my neighbor. Sounds good what you made.

oooh! I just purchased her book. Can’t wait to make this dish and devour it

She knows how to make a good pudding!
I try not to like her because almost none of her recipes are healthy but if I am ever stuck for desert, I always reach for one of my Nigellas.
I’ve made this and I agree, best when warm and absolutely scrumptious!

Hi, I’m from Brazil, and I love love love Nigella.
And here, for now, have arrived only 3 books of her. It’s so sad, but I read them over and over, because I never can get enough of her.
I really liked your blog, will return always.
