Nigella Lawson is to return to BBC Two for a new cookery series called Nigella's Cook, Eat, Repeat.

The show - Lawson's first in three years - will see her get to the root of "how food is woven into our everyday lives and the connection it provides", with recipes coming from her extensive collection of vintage cookbooks as well as social media.

Among the dishes in the series are Nigella's indulgent chocolate peanut butter cake, luxurious crab mac 'n' cheese and fear-free fish stew.

Announcing the show, she said: "More than just a mantra, cook, eat, repeat is the story of my life."

The six-episode series will air later this year, followed by a one-hour Christmas special featuring "food from near and far to warm up the winter evenings".
