Nigella Lawson's Pistachio Fudge is one of the easiest fudge recipes I've seen. It comes out of Nigella Express, a book Nigella personally signed for me
I was originally a bit skeptical about this book, but once I bought it, I caught myself making more things out of it than I had expected. Mind you, I don't just make things as in the recipe, but Nigella Express has been great inspiration.My favorite part of the book has been its awesome photos -- straightforward but with style, and at least one photo for EACH and EVERY recipe. They are the mesmerizing work of photographer Lis Parsons. That photos are often lacking in cookbooks is the biggest reason I don't have as many as I'd like. I just can't get myself to pick one up with no photos. In the last month, I've been to so many bookstores and even a cookbook stall for crying out loud. I've made some great purchases, but so many I otherwise liked, I was disappointed to put down for the lack of photos.

was to add a little peppermint extract. This was to make the fudge more seasonal for the holidays. I also substituted in some dark chocolate. It's a very rich recipe, so small pieces are perfect to serve your guests.
