Starter Main course This eye-popping slaw makes for a great starter or side; loaded with crunchy red cabbage and red, yellow and orange peppers, it has a moreish texture and a vibrant flavour. Make this dish up to 2 hours in advance and enjoy playing host.

Dessert Just like Nigella’s sweet and sour slaw, this tequila and lime chicken can be prepared in advance and is a riot of colours and flavours. Serve up with guacamole, green salad and perhaps a sweet potato or two.

Creamy, refreshing and oh-so simple, this matcha ice cream is a revelation. Nigella suggests serving it in scoops, just as is, or with her molten chocolate babycakes from How To Be A Domestic Goddess.
