I hate to say it but I do not think I can live up to what it takes to be a Domestic Goddess...
I fear my waistline would not recover if I tried.
I am in the process of reading Nigella Lawson's book
HOW TO BE A DOMESTIC GODDESS
Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking.
As with all cookbooks, the first thing I do is flip to recipes
Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking.
As with all cookbooks, the first thing I do is flip to recipes

I have bookmarked my favourite chocolate recipes and that is only one chapter.
From there I went to her website....big mistake.
I want to dive into that tea cup!
Nigella's Chocolate Pudding
INGREDIENTS
Serving Size : Serves 4 |
METHOD |
1. | Put the kettle on, and warm the milk and cream together in a saucepan or in a bowl in the microwave. |
2. | Put the sugar and cornflour into another saucepan and sieve in the cocoa powder. Add the 2 tablespoons of boiling water and whisk to a paste. |
3. | Whisk in the egg yolks, one at a time, followed by the warmed milk and cream, then the vanilla extract. |
4. | Scrape down the sides of the pan and put it on a lowish heat, cooking and whisking for about 3–4 minutes until the mixture thickens to a mayonnaise-like consistency. |
5. | Take off the heat and whisk in the finely chopped chocolate, before pouring into 4 small cups or glasses, each with a capacity of about 150ml. |
6. | Cover the tops of the cups or glasses with clingfilm, letting the clingfilm rest on the chocolate surface, to stop a skin forming, and refrigerate once they are cooler. Make sure they are not still fridge-cold when you serve them. You can add a blob of cream on top if you like. |
There is more! Go to her website www.nigella.com PS..due to technical difficulties I could not present the Chocolate Raspberry Pavlova recipe. The computer and I are not getting along at the moment! |
