Episode seven: instant calmer Comfort food got the Express treatment, proving that calming, delicious food can be the work of moments. There was a fast, restoring bowl of ragù to ease away weekday tensions, rich chocolate cookies to banish the blues and a warm, soothing Noodle soup for needy people. It was a long hot bath for the tastebuds, and all comfortingly quick and easy to prepare. Recipes
Episode eight: storecupboard SOS Nigella showed how to turn those odds and ends of jars lurking at the back of the cupboard into impressive dishes to serve to unexpected guests. East met west in a Lamb, mint and redcurrant salad with hot and sour Thai-style dressing, there was a warming one-tray dinner of spicy sausages and halloumi, and Chocolate pear pudding was an effortless crowd-pleaser.

Episode nine: Speedy Gonzalez Nigella served up fast food with a Latin vibe. Oozing Quesadillas with a jalapeño kick were a satisfying snack, while zingy, fresh Chopped ceviche and punchy Margarita ice cream made fun but sophisticated food for friends. Recipes
