Nigella Lawson shows how cooking can make us feel better and more alive. In this first episode, recipes include a twist on avocado toast with radishes.

Relaxed, inspiring and as mouthwatering as ever, this cookery series with Nigella Lawson shows us that what and how we cook really can make us feel better and more alive. In this first episode, Nigella introduces us to recipes that are quick and calm.

There is Nigella's favourite breakfast - a twist on avocado toast with radishes - as well as a deliciously different Thai noodle dish with cinnamon and prawns that was inspired by a recent holiday to Thailand, and a laid-back family supper of luscious lamb ribs with nigella and cumin seeds, served with a feta and avocado salad. To help wind down at the end of a hectic day, there's some stove-side pottering with Nigella's warm spiced cauliflower and chickpea salad. And a sweet treat comes in the form of a beautifully simple apricot almond cake.
