Nigella Express: Good Food, Fast
By Nigella Lawson
Hyperion - 2007
Blueberry Syrup for Pancakes : page 93
A sauce for pancakes made with blueberries and maple syrup. Any leftover syrup can be stored for a few days in the fridge and used as a 'jam' on bread or toast.

Breakfast Bars : page 94
I followed the recipe exactly and the bars worked perfectly and tasted great! Lining the pan with baking paper prevented the mixture sticking to the pan.

Buttermilk Roast Chicken : page 274
Consists of 1.25kg of chicken drumsticks, marinated overnight in buttermilk (with maple syrup, cumin, salt and pepper), then baked in a hot oven. The chicken was juicy and very tender but not particularly flavoursome. I found it necessary to add quite a bit of extra seasoning. A nice accompaniment to the 'New Orleans Coleslaw' (p. 277).

Home-Made Instant Pancake Mix : page 92
What a great idea! Make and store the dry ingredients and when you want to make pancakes simply measure out 150g of the mixture and add the egg, milk and melted butter.

Instant Chocolate Mousse : page 159
Very rich and very chocolatey. And I love that there are no raw eggs in this recipe :)

Quick Chilli : page 236
I tweak this recipe a little to improve the flavour by adding 1/2 a teaspoon each of allspice, smoked paprika, cocoa and sugar, as well as a can of diced tomatoes (drained).

Red Prawn and Mango Curry : page 15
Quick and easy to make. I followed Nigella's suggestion of substituting the mango with some pineapple and it worked well, albeit a little on the sour side.
