Nigella Kitchen

Truly heavenly meals don't have to start life with painfully expensive ingredients. Nigella's got a whole host of sublime recipes up her sleeve that hail from far more modest beginnings. Like South Indian Vegetable Curry - made from the wilting contents of a Monday morning fridge raid, decadent Chocolate Chip Bread pudding AKA stale bread reincarnated Nigella style. Beer Braised Pork Knuckles with Caraway, Garlic, Apples and Potatoes - totally divine and cheap to boot. And who'd have thought plain old eggs and bacon could be transformed into a sumptuous salad or the store cupboard could hold the key to a crowd pleasing Pantry Paella?

This is a real case of rags to riches; where divine meals don't have to break the bank.
