Nigella Lawson is one of my favourite cookbook writers, the TV shows also mean that I feel I know her a little. I can hear her voice when I read out the recipes. So they are more than recipes, they are stories and a connection to another human being.

I came across www.nigella.com and saw that Nigella is offering cookalong challenges, which I could not resist. This is my input to the April challenge of baking an Easter egg nest cake!

You find the recipe in her book Feast – food that celebrates life, on page 169 or on the entry page for the challenge – why not give it a go yourself

Happy Easter

Enjoy
