Time for the sexiest cook on TV, with the most amazing bottom - not as if that would affect the judgingÂ…..

A seemingly complicated recipe which turned out a lot better than I’d hoped. Nigella goes for a complex version of this easy meal and comes up trumps. This is another recipe that adds extra ingredients yet doesn’t tell you how long to whisk the egg mixture for, which I would have thought is the most important part. This is a tasty meal, and you don’t have to dip your finger into the mix then lick it suggestively - unless you want to of course. For added realism I pushed a pillow down the rear of my trousers, to provide a similar bootilicious bumper to the awesome lady herself.

The complete recipe is here : http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/spicyscrambledeggs_87272.shtml

So how did this rate:

Taste - 4 - The recipe was not specific about the egg mixture - again - so I whisked until there was a uniform colour and consistency. I am amazed and disappointed that so many recipes for scrambled eggs do NOT tell you how long to beat the egg mixture for. The taste was a great mix, and I loved it. There were different mixes of flavours in each mouthful, the green chilli really plays its part. The tortillas - much to my surprise - worked well, and “bulked up” this recipe to make it a real meal deal.

Texture - 4 - The eggs were “fine“ using the “whisk until consistent“ method. The fried tortillas were amazingly good, and added to the dish immensely. The served meal had the usual scrambled egg with a good mixture of the chilli, tomato, and the tortillas. I didn’t think it would work, but it did.

Ease/Effort - 2.5 - The recipe seems quite arty-farty before you try it. There‘s quite a lot of effort involved, which seems daunting beforehand. In practice, de-seeding chillies and tomatoes is easier than it sounds. The result though makes the effort worthwhile. Looks complicated which may put people off, but isn’t, so a lower score for looking scary.

Total score = 10.5 out of 15. A superb contribution from TV‘s sexiest cookery expert. Thank you Nigella for this recipe, I LOVED it. See you at Green Quay next week, Wednesday, at 10. This recipe looks so much tougher than it actually is. The addition of other flavours seemed to be a bad move but turned out just great.

Results so far:

11 - Jamie Oliver

10.5 - Nigella Lawson

9.5 - Mr Breakfast

8.5 - Delia Smith

6 - Waitrose Dot Com

Tomorrow - James Martin
