Lesley Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Just seen her on the One Show - drooling and posing...... - or was that Adrian Chiles I'll probably watch it just to see - even if one of the ingredients they just showed was American bacon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Also: Christmas at River Cottage-C4 8pm Wed 17th Jamie Cooks Christmas-C4 9pm Thurs 18th And a Christmas special of Kill It,Cook it, Eat it. This Thurs 9pm BBC3. I didn't really watch the programmes that they did about different meats, but since then i have become much more aware so i'm to watch as i'm sure it will open my eyes even more about how much meat is reared.

Loads of great stuff then next week, hurrah. I'll still watch Nigella and have bought the book Buffie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 The book is excellent - so far I've made Christmas Chutney, Beetroot and Ginger chutney, chilli jam, lamb and date tagine and fish gratin. All were delicious. I love that she always uses shortcuts in her recipes like using the blender if the recipe will work that way. I don't actually like watching her programmes that much though - I get lifestyle envy! Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Webmuppet Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I love Nigella's attitude to food although some times she grates on my nerves. I have bought the Hairy Biker books for my Dad 'cause he loves them ( he's a hairy biker too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chooklady Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I think Nigella is great, Hubby quite likes watching her programmes too, can't imagine why, those curves and flawless skin to name but a few! There are quite a few recipes of hers I use quite regularly, I would like her Christmas book. I like the way she keeps things pretty simple and uses short cuts etc, not many of us have time for making pastry, etc, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 When she was on The One Show the other night, they showed a little clip of her with an oozy, caramelly looking chocolatey pudding, with a biscuit base, which looked just like the sort of thing my boys would love on Christmas day instead of Christmas Pud. Don't suppose anyone with the book could tell me what it was, and possibly pm me the recipe, pretty, pretty please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKH Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 i for one won't ever buy any of her books or watch her again after what she said about wearing fur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I have had a quick flick through the book Chookie, but can't find it? I haven't seen the clip, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to find the recipe, but to no avail It's called the girdle busting pie (watched a bit of the One Show on BBC I player and looks as if it would live up to its name!)

Guest Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 When she was on The One Show the other night, they showed a little clip of her with an oozy,... I thought you meant she was packing heat when I read that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMS Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Here are the ingredents: Girdlebuster pie For the base: 375 g digestive biscuits 75 g soft butter 50 g dark chocolate pieces or chips 50 g milk chocolate pieces or chips For the ice cream filling: 1 L coffee ice cream For the topping: 300 g golden syrup 100 g packed light brown muscovado sugar 75 g butter ¼ tsp Maldon salt or pinch of table salt 2 tbsp (30 mL) bourbon 125 mL double cream I'll be back with the method later (currently watching a film with subtitles and I can't touch type!!!)

AMS Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 And here is the method: * Process the biscuits with the butter abd chocolate pieces or chips until it forms a damp but still crumb-like clump. * Press into a 23 cm pie plate or flan dish. Form a lip of biscuit a little higher than the late or dish if you can. This process takes patience as you need to form a smooth even layer. Sorry. * Freeze this biscuit-lined layer for about an hour so it gets really hard. In the meantime, let your ice cream soften, just enough to be scooped, in the fridge. * Spread the ice cream into the hard-biscuit-lined dish to form a layer. Then cover in clingfilm and replace in the freezer. * Put the syrup, sugar and butter into a saucepan and let it melt over a low to medium heat, before turning it up and boiling for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and add the bourbon, letting it hiss in the pan. * Add the cream and stir to mix into a sauce, then leave to cool. And once the sauce is cool, but not set cold, pour it over the pie to cover the ice cream layer and then put it back in the freezer. Once frozen, cover with clingfilm again. * When ready to serve, remove from the freezer, take the whole pie out of its dish and cut into slices. Should you have any pie left over, slip it quickly back into the dish and return, covered with clingfilm, to the freezer. Do not let it “ripen” out of the freezer before slicing because it all gets too sticky and drippy and messy. FREEZE AHEAD TIP: Make and freeze the pie in its dish, as directed, but cover with clingfilm and a double layer of foil. Freeze for up to 6 months.

Guest Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Despite my very own girdlebusting stomach, that sounds way too sickly for me. The boys of the family however, are now delirious with the thought of such sickly decadence on Christmas Day, so it looks like I'll be making that this week to pop in the freezer for the 25th. Thankyou very much for posting that for me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMS Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 No problem Shona I hope your boys enjoy it. I don't think that I could even manage a small slice after Christmas dinner - it does sound a little bit rich...!!! But any other day of the year...
