This is excellent if you are feeding large number.
Set oven very hot.Pound marinade ingredients to a paste, rub over skin.Bake skin side up uncovered 30 min. Remove, lower oven to 120 °C.Turn meat over and pour remaining ingredients over.
Return to oven 23 hours.
Remove, turn oven up to very hot. Turn meat over & bake 30 min.

I only use two of her recipes regularly - the cup cakes and the chocolate pistachio fudge but the fudge would be nice with coffee after dinner.For Christmas I use 100g of pistachios and 50g of dried cranberries:
Ingredients 350 grams dark chocolate chopped (minimum 70% cocoa solids) 397 grams condensed milk 30 grams butter 1 pinch of salt, to taste 150 grams Pistachio nuts
As featured in NIGELLA EXPRESS
Method 1.Put the chopped chocolate, condensed milk, butter and salt in a heavy-based pan on a low heat, and stir to melt. 2.Put the nuts into a freezer bag and bash them with a rolling pin, until broken up into both big and little pieces. 3.Add the nuts to the melted chocolate and condensed milk and stir well to mix. 4.Pour and spread this mixture into a foil tray 23cm square, smoothing the top. 5.Let the fudge cool, and refrigerate until set. You can then cut it into small pieces approx. 3 x 2.25cm. Cutting 8 x 10 lines in the tin to give 64 pieces best achieves this. 6.Once cut, it can be kept in the freezer - no need to thaw just eat straight away.

See above - I also think it would work well with crystallised ginger and pistachios
I like the easy chocolate mousse made in individual glasses,very simple,can make ahead and leave in fridge ,just decorate with chocolate swirls or put some raspberries in the base to give it a fresh surprise taste.

NIGELLA’S CUPCAKES
Ingredients
125g self-raising flour 125g caster sugar 125g soft unsalted butter 2 eggs Half a teaspoon real vanilla extract (I used vanilla essence) (At this stage I added some mixed spice and cinnamon) Approximately 2 tablespoons milk (maybe more as you need to make it into a dropping consistency)
1 x 12-bun muffin tin 12 muffin papers
Preheat the oven to 200C and line the tin with the muffin cases.
It couldn't be simpler to make cup cakes: just put all the ingredients except for the milk in the processor and then blitz till smooth.
Pulse while adding milk, to make for a soft, dropping consistency, down the funnel.
I know it looks as if you'll never make this scant mixture fit 12 bun cases, but you will. I promise you this mixture is exactly right to make the 12 cup cakes, so just spoon and scrape the stuff in, trying to fill each case equally, judging by eye only of course.
Put in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cup cakes are cooked and golden on top. As soon as bearable, take the cup cakes in their cases out of the tin and let cool, right way up, on a wire rack.
