Nigella Express

Nigella Lawson prepares good food quickly. This time she cooks for surprise guests, using storecupboard items. She whips up a brandied bacon chicken on a bed of green leaves with golden vinaigrette followed by sumptuous standby chocolate and pear pudding. Then sure to impress the most unexpected house guests there's one-stop shop lamb, mint and redcurrant salad. Plus baked sausage with halloumi cheese and chocolate peanut butter sundaes for dessert.
