Nigellissima

Nigella Lawson reveals a secret passion when she prepares her dark and deviant liquorice pudding, then extols the virtues of fregola - the Sardinian sun-dried and toasted couscous - with tomato and clams. Her dinner-party guests are served butterflied leg of lamb and baby aubergines with oregano and roasted red onion, followed by meringue gelato cake with sharp raspberries and dark chocolate sauce for dessert
