Nigella is back on our screens with the new series Cook, Eat, Repeat. Once again viewers can revel in the joy that Nigella and her food brings. Nigella’s calm unhurried approach and genuine pleasure in the food she makes and eats will inspire everyone with a range of recipes that takes the most familiar of ingredients and simply elevates them to a different plane. This is home cooking at its best, combining simplicity and innovation to deliver unforgettable food that as the title suggests, we will want to cook again and again.

Over 6 episodes Cook, Eat, Repeat will see Nigella at her most witty and thoughtful revealing where she finds inspiration for her recipes, from delving into her collection of vintage cookbooks to exchanging ideas on social media. In this series Nigella gets to the heart of how food is woven into our everyday lives and the connection it provides – she’ll share the rhythms and rituals of her kitchen through a multitude of delicious recipes that will bring weekly servings of comfort and cheer to the nation.

Episode 1:
Nigella explains how captivated she was with a recipe she heard about on twitter, a dish where all
the ingredients were familiar but the finished article unlike anything she had tried before. She shows
us her take on the bhorta, a dish favoured in the Indian subcontinent of fried and mashed vegetables
to which she introduces a very British but very familiar ingredient topped with pink pickled onions.
Next Nigella heads to her famous larder and introduces us to spicy fermented Gochujang chilli paste
to make comforting slow cooked lamb shanks, a dish which is completed the following day with
addition of wide noodles and cabbage. Ripe bananas are the key ingredient in two recipes – the first
a gloriously rich and gooey chocolate tahini pudding and the second is a TV first that is sure to get
the nation talking
