Episode 3

Episode 3 of 7

Nigella Lawson shows how cooking can make us feel better and more alive. She demonstrates her take on a family favourite - fluffy oat pancakes with a raspberry and honey syrup.

Packed with new recipes and tips designed to make our busy lives easier, Simply Nigella proves that whatever the occasion, food, in the eating and the making, should always be pleasurable.

This episode is all about dishes that marry the comfort of the familiar with the freshness of the new, like Nigella's grown-up take on a family favourite - fluffy oat pancakes with a raspberry and honey syrup.

For a fun lunch, there is a riff on the classic caesar salad. A casual supper with friends sees Nigella serving a green-inspired feast of squid and orzo pasta, complete with the Greek dessert of old rag pie - a sweet and savoury twist on a cheesecake.

And finally, Nigella's take on a rice bowl with ginger, radish and avocado celebrates a few choice ingredients, resulting in a dish that is calming and uplifting to look at, as well as to eat.
