For many in France, a plum tart like this is a true taste of childhood — something that simply must be made during plum season. This French plum tart is wonderfully simple and quick to prepare, letting the flavour of sun-ripened plums shine. As they bake, the fruit becomes soft
Marzipan hearts with pistachios — more of an idea than a recipe. They look absolutely delightful and taste just as good. Perfect as a homemade gift, and if you love marzipan as much as I do, you’re bound to fall for them!
A bold combination of chocolate and chilli. I must admit, these cookies definitely called for a glass of milk… and they’re probably not the best choice for a children’s party ;). That said, aside from the spicy kick, these chocolate chilli cookies have a true American-style character

Ta-da! I think I can officially say that Nigella Express is open! Although I greeted it rather coolly at first – almost ice-cold, you might say – the book itself is warm, fragrant and full of recipes I’d love to try immediately. That doesn’t mean her earlier books will be forgotten
