Express-Domestic Goddess
Creating an unusual breakfast treat for your still-slumbering house-guest before dashing off to work? It must be Nigella Express!
- Pear and Ginger Muffins
Our house guest was due to take a train back to Nottingham on Monday morning; we both had to be at work as usual that day. I didn’t think I could abandon him in the house with nothing to eat and this recipe spoke promisingly of being largely preparable the night before- wet ingredients jug in the fridge, dry ingredients on the side.
For the most part this was true, and you basically did just have to add pear, mix the whole lot together and spoon the contents into muffin cases. (Note to self: buy proper muffin cases to go with the nice big muffin tin re-acquired from home!) However you’d probably be surprised to find how time consuming peeling a couple of pears and filling paper cases actually is. I was consequently a little late for work.
Lateness aside, this were a simply divine breakfast treat; light and moist and warmly but not dominantly spicy. They were so good, in fact, that I made them again three days later for a colleague’s bring-a-dish leaving lunch at work.
Darn, now I need you to email me THIS recipe!
Alternatively, I suppose I could go and buy the book…
ooo must come and stay some time. You clearly look after your guests very well. These look scrummy and I suspect tasted even better.

We do what we can….and rumour has it that a certain new property has a guest room!
