Nigella's Amsterdam Christmas
Nigella returns for a very special Christmas treat when she travels to Amsterdam to enjoy the festive season in the Venice of the North.
Nigella returns for a very special Christmas treat when she travels to Amsterdam to enjoy the festive season in the Venice of the North.
With family ties to Amsterdam that go back generations, Nigella has fond memories of lights reflecting in the canals, the sights of people huddled against the cold drinking Claret Cup, the smells of spice-sweet and fruited breads and the crunch of icing-laced cookies.
Nigella takes viewers on visits to her favourite places in the Dutch capital city – along with trips to a sweet shop with a liquorice niche, a Dutch cheese shop with a fabulous selection of cheeses, and a chip shop with queues that stretch around the block. Nigella picks up special ingredients for her festive feasting back home, taking inspiration from both Dutch cuisine and the Indonesian influence on the city. She makes a sumptuous chicken biryani and traditional Dutch speculaas along with other recipes that will make for a perfect Xmas feast. And throughout, finding moments of calm and reflection among the lights, rounding up with a happy hubbub to bring the Christmas spirit home.
