This time, Nigella creates tasty comfort dishes, like a fast, restoring bowl of rapid ragu or a chicken pot pie to make everything better in an instant. For midnight munchies, there is doughnut French toast, or chocolate chip cookies to banish the blues no matter what the problem. Then there is the blueprint for when you are up against it, a warm soothing bowl of noodle soup for needy people.

Nigella cooks Latin-influenced food the express way. Recipes include a standby sweetcorn chowder topped with toasted tortilla chips for a late-night treat, a quesadilla, and a dinner of 'Roqualmole' (Roquefort and guacamole) dip served with a cool cured fish ceviche, and margarita ice cream.
