Nigellissima

The essence of Italian food, like Nigella Lawson's style of cooking, is simplicity and informality. In her new six-part series, Nigellissima, she shows how easy it is to bring the spirit of Italy into the kitchen and onto the plate using ingredients available in any supermarket. With her passion for Italy and Italian cooking -- she lived and worked in Florence before reading Italian at Oxford University -- Nigella's mouthwatering dishes have their roots in tradition but take us into fresh territory; light of touch but bursting full of taste. While Nigellissima is true to the spirit of Italian cooking, the recipes are always quick and easy, designed to elevate everyday eating into no-fuss feasts for those days when supper needs to be on the table pronto. This release also features a Christmas special, bringing a truly Italian festive feast to the table, with big fresh flavours and a sumptuous spread, as only Nigella can provide. As seen on ABC1.
