Double Chocolate and Strawberry Tart
While I believe most emphatically that one should never cook to impress, but rather to delight, the fact remains that this is undeniably a high-impact dessert and, at the same gratifying time, an encouragingly low-effort one. The dramatic dark base comes courtesy of crushed Oreos and butter, which need no more than to be pressed into a shallow flan tin. What makes this a double chocolate tart is the white chocolate, which is gently melted, then folded into a soft mixture of double cream and cream cheese, and chilled in the lined tart tin before being topped with ripe, sweet strawberries and a few wisps of finely shredded mint.

My Mother's Praised Chicken
Nigella Lawson
This may well be — indeed is — the smell, the taste, the dish that says "family" to me and my siblings, and brings our long-absent mother back to the kitchen and the table with us. This is not merely a recipe, but my family's culinary fingerprint. It's not quite poached, not quite braised, and so I've settle on "praised" - which feels exactly right, as for me both cooking and eating it feel like a devotional act. And please read the Additional Information section at the end of the recipe before proceeding.
My Grandmother's Ginger Jam Bread and Butter Pudding

This is the wholesome, comforting version of a trad English (white) bread and butter pudding that my maternal grandmother always made. Use apricot jam or regular orange marmalade if ginger's not your thing.
Marmalade Pudding Cake
Nigella Lawson
Now, this is a beauty. I don't mean flash or fancy — rather the opposite; there is something austerely handsome about its appearance, and yet gorgeously warming about its taste. But then, this laid-back Sunday-lunch pudding is what kitchen food is all about. I'm happy to leave the picture-perfect plate-decoration dessert to the professional chef and patissier. When I want to eat one, I'll go to a restaurant. That way, everyone's happy. I don't want to be too prescriptive about this marmalade pudding cake — which has the surprisingly light texture of a steamed sponge — as it doesn't seem in the spirit of things. I love the bitter edge of a thick-shred, dark marmalade and so tend to go for a proper, glamorously auburn, tawny one here; if this is too full-on for you, choose a fine-shred marmalade, instead.
