What to do when it is snowing with bitter cold and strong wind outside? Cooking is one of better options, as you can keep warm at the stove with nice warm outcome of the activity. This morning I tried a recipe from Nigel's Kitchen Diaries which I have never cooked before. I made ricotta raspberry pancakes - the recipe is in the book, but you can also find it in the lower part of his 2004 guardian entry:

I guess this is the Nigel's cooking weekend. Yesterday, I made the chocolate pudding with my modification to his recipe - replace hazelnut spread with a shot of good whiskey. Today I will also make a lamb stew for dinner. It will be cooking nicely for a few hours keeping the kitchen warm.
Then I have to decide what to cook tomorrow, so plan to check the two volumes of Tender that are piled on the side table in the kitchen hidden from Aki's teeth.
