Easter: Lindt Chocolate Breeding Bunnies!

Nigella's Lemon Risotto

This is probably my favourite and most stunningly gorgeous thing to cook and eat ... ever.

When Nigella made this on Nigella Bites she seemed to suggest that she can eat it all, which would be very naughty indeed. But its creamy. It's cheesy. It's lemony, it's aromatic and it's buttery ... phew .. this really is the kind of dish you could believe had been cooked by angels and brought down from heaven for you..

If it's the recipe you are after, I would recommend visiting http://www.nigella.com/ - it is on there. Meanwhile, drool over the photo I took of mine, and let me promise, you will not regret rustling this up for tea!!

New Mexican Mild Red Chilli Bread (by Marlena Spieler)

This recipe comes from Marlena's very good book, called "Hot & Spicy" which basically, is a lot of recipes, all of which are, er, spicy.

This is essentially just like garlic bread, but with the addition, in the butter, of mild red chilli powder, spring onion, coriander leaves, and parmesan cheese.

Beanfeast with Cheesy Dumplings

This most excellent recipe comes from an old Sainsburys recipe book called "50 recipes for cheese" (which you might be able to find on Amazon Marketplace..) Basically in a big pot you do onion, carrots, parsnips, tins of tomatoes, butter beans, and kidney beans, and a bit of curry powder, then you make dumplings with a noggin of cheese in the centre and let them cook and fluff up ... and when we made it here, we put more cheese on top.

We ate it with veggie sausages, and Marlena Spieler's recipe for New Mexican mild red chilli bread!!

Pasta Bake

This was made with minced beef, chilli sausagemeat, tomato sauce, more tomatoes, tomato puree and red wine. Mixed with pasta, then with cheese sauce (with added eggs) on top. Baked in hot oven until golden on top.
