About Nigella Lawson

 

Nigella Lucy Lawson (born January 6 1960) is an English journalist, culinary writer, broadcaster and television presenter. After graduating from Oxford, Lawson worked as a book reviewer and soon became the deputy literary editor of the Sunday Times. She proceeded to write her first cookery book entitled How to Eat which became an instant bestseller. Lawson wrote her second bestselling book, How to be a Domestic Goddess in 2000, winning her a prestigious British Book Award. Her career progressed in the United Kingdom when she hosted the successful Channel 4 cookery programme, Nigella Bites, which was accompanied with another bestseller. She also hosted a less successful chatshow on ITV in 2005, which was followed by two highly successful cookery series on BBC Two. Lawson also enjoys a flourishing career in the United States where Nigella Feasts has been aired. Her own cookware range is reportedly worth £7 million a year, and she has sold nearly 3 million cookery books worldwide.

Interdesign Nigella Lawson Living Kitchen Bowls Cream Mixing Bowl, Set of 4

Amazon Price: (as of 10/11/2008)
List Price: $89.99

Lamb, olive and caramelised onion tagine 

Like all stews, this benefits from being cooked in advance, so it makes sense to cook this on a day when you've got time and reheat it when you're in more of a hurry.

Ingredients
1kg/2lb 3¼oz leg of lamb, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 garlic bulb, separated into cloves, but unpeeled
1 x 350g/12oz can pitted black olives in brine, rinsed and drained to give 150g/5oz drained weight
100g/3½oz caramelised onions, from a jar
4 tbsp capers, rinsed and drained
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground ginger
1 x 75cl bottle red wine

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 150C/300F/Gas 2.
2. Place all of the ingredients into a lidded casserole or heavy-based ovenproof pan, pouring in the wine last and giving everything a good stir.
3. Bring to the boil, then clamp on the lid and transfer to the oven. Cook for two hours, or until the lamb is very tender.
4. The quickest, and most suitable, accompaniment would be a bowl of couscous, pale and plain or studded with a can or two of chickpeas.
