We’ll admit it: We totally have a crush on Nigella Lawson. She’s sophisticated and worldly but also warm and homey. She’s all about interesting ingredients from around the world, but she’s also a self-taught cook and gets that most of us don’t have a kitchen full of restaurant equipment or hours to spend on fussy techniques. Instead, she gives us flavor-packed recipes that are usually easy enough to whip up after work. Here are 12 of our favorites.
