Nigella Lawson

[Samuel]

She hosted her own TV cookery series which were broadcasted worldwide: Nigella Bites, Nigella Feasts and Nigella Express. I find her shows very...err, different, at least :) . She doesn't like to be referred to as a "celebrity chef" and clearly stated that she cooks for "her own pleasure rather than to please others". How on earth does she find so many food descriptions???

I like her because she really seems to enjoy food and she seems very relaxed about it. I think men get a great deal of pleasure from watching her and I don't think it is the cooking that most of them are interested in! If she makes my husband more willing to do the cooking then I'm not complaining.

She is also a very smart and talented woman. She always smiles, that's the thing I like about her. Sure she's a well known curvaceous person... she was voted as one of the sexiest persons from UK, I think. Just look how askmen described her: "A hot woman who loves to eat and knows the way to a man's heart is hard to resist." True, true, true...But let's go back to the cookery show, shall we?

I like her too - here are some her thoughts on cooking and other stuff: :)

Cooking is actually quite aggressive and controlling and sometimes, yes, there is an element of force-feeding going on.

But if you know that something has been really vicious, you don't read it, you don't let it into your head. What's damaging is when sentences go through your head and you burn with the injustice of it.

Emotion is messy, contradictory... and true.

Gordon Ramsay makes me laugh because he knows that I'm not a chef.

I recently got her book Nigella Express.

Nigella is so Sexeee! She makes love to the food. I wish I were her favourite soup spoon. You can tell Giada is trying to be another Nigella AND ITS NOT WORKING! Hahaha! :D

Love Nigella - she is soo passionate about food and cooking - it's catching!

Her first book, How to Eat, is a great book on the basics of cooking (with an amazingly simple clementine cake which everyone goes nuts over). I haven't checked if she actually sells it at Amazon, but then everything is sold online, from running shoes (http://www.zalando.co.uk/running-shoes/) to canoes to Justin Bieber's hair...

She wrote it while her first husband, a prominant journalist was dying from throat cancer and couldn't in fact eat, it was partly a kind of therapeutic thing, her writing the book.

The fact that she's highly attractive also adds fans, especially guys :)

Your kidding me :D

yeah i think she is a great cook, makes lots of really down-to-earth stuff. I recently bought 'Kitchen', a great investment and I would definately recommend it to anyone! lots of good 'theory' in it as well as loads of great recipies

I really like Nigella Lawson - her shows are really fantastic and I love how enthusiastic (yet balanced) she is about food and cooking and doing it all for fun.
But I got given her book 'Recipes from the Heart of the Home' and... well, I wasn't very impressed. It seemed really hap-hazard and illogical and switches from thing to thing without any clear boundaries (like fish to desert to beef all in one chapter).

Is this normal for her books or is it just this one? I guess it shouldn't really matter if the recipes are good but it makes it really hard to find things :)

I love Nigella. I love how she enthusiatically describes food. Her recipes are all fantastic and I love how she's not pretentious, her recipes and directions are direct and straight to the point, which makes it absolutely fool proof!

I rather liked her take on Eton Smash. Not to mention her irreverent use of double cream !

[_GG_]

Nigella is a proper cook...she does it because she loves it, not because it makes her money...she already has plenty of that. She is not in it for the fame and is incredibly uncomfortable in live interviews.

I did laugh once though. Watched her on a breakast TV interview at 8am and later that day, watched her cooking show, I think it was Nigella Express. In the TV interview, she said, "I don't try to be provocative or sexy and I certainly don't use my curves or sexuality in my programmes". Then, in her show, the very first scene was her lying on her bed in a black satin dressing gown with a spoon in her mouth...lol.

It doesn't bother me, I think she's a naturally gifted cook but I don't buy into the innocence pleas...she knows she's sexy and she knows how to use it....






...and good on her for it :-)
