Gravlax, while similar in technique to Lox and Nova Lox, adds sugar and spice to the curing process for different results.

Gyudon is an extremely forgiving recipe for the beginner of Japanese cooking. In fact, should the cook at least stick to the ingredients and not add some of their own, I think it’s almost impossible to mess this dish up. It also cooks itself, with no need to stir, nudge, flip or watch, as long as it stays on low. The result, served over rice, is a savory and tender candied-meat extravaganza.

Nigella has a way of making things sound so sensual. This lemony chicken was easy, but time consuming. I’m really on the look out for quick recipes lately since we’ve been so, so busy. Sometimes easy will do though.
