Nadiya's Fast Flavours Series 1
Episode 6 of 6

Nadiya show us her celebratory recipes for special occasions. Roast leg of lamb makes a fabulous party centrepiece along with lemon drizzle swirls and a spectacular red velvet cake.

Nadiya turns her attention to one of her favourite things - special occasions. She starts with her spectacular lemon drizzle swirls. A twist on the cinnamon bun, these fluffy lemon- and cardamom-scented creations are topped with a pillowy citrus frosting.

Next, Nadiya rustles up an earthy chicken stew, featuring 30 cloves of garlic! She gently poaches the cloves in water, making them more subtle and aromatic. This heady dish, loaded with paprika and black olives, is served with a Malaysian pancake called roti jala, which initially appears difficult to create but which is made foolproof thanks to Nadiya's own recipe.

Nadiya then makes a spectacular but stress-free centrepiece: a roast leg of lamb with jewelled couscous, pomegranate seeds, preserved lemons and pine nuts. Finally, Nadiya makes a rich red velvet cake, smothered in a snowy white cream cheese frosting and topped with fresh strawberries and an elegant drizzle of melted chocolate.

Meanwhile, award-winning cookery writer Sabrina Ghayour makes a celebratory Persian rice dish, laced with both saffron and fresh orange, and piled high with king prawns.
