Nigella Lawson serves up five irresistibly easy dishes, recipes which combine the comfort of the familiar and the exuberance of the new. Nigella rustles up her favourite weekend breakfast special, wonderfully light surefire-success waffles. She shares her go-to recipes for laidback entertaining: Beef and Aubergine Fatteh, accompanied by bulgar wheat with flaked almonds and nigella seeds. That's followed by her passionfruit ice-cream cake, which is a dream to eat and a doddle to make. And late night inspiration comes in the form of a toasted Brie, Parma ham and fig sandwich.
