Precisely

Really? I love both her and her cookery books (which I read avidly without the remotest intention of actually making anything). I think she comes across as being incredibly warm and positive despite a pretty tragic life.

Yeah, I'm still at the Working Girl stage of feminism. I'm not ready for this Jools Oliver/Anthea Turner/Nigella Lawson triumvirate of domesticity.

I can heartily recommend that Keralan fish curry in the Forever Summer book. I've made a few things out of that, all good.

In fact I made a version of that Malteser cake but with the added yumminess of Terry's Chocolate Orange. And some Cadbury's Flakes. I quite like chocolate you see...

Nigella studied at Oxford and worked as a journalist before her cookery programme took off - she's not exactly Stepford Wife material!

I know, but it's the unachievable level of aspirational domesticity that drives me crazy. e.g. her toffee apple recipe. 'You could always be a bad mother go to the supermarket and buy some lollipop sticks to use for these, but I like to go down to my orchard and pick some fresh twigs so that I don't ruin the whole effect'.

I was going to say that I'm a buy-the-stick kind of a gal, but to be fair I'm more likely to eat all the toffee before it gets anywhere near a piece of fruit.

I suppose it could be seen that way, although personally it's something I enjoy watching without feeling any need to emulate. Also, it's television and no one wants to be confronted with the realities of, say, my kitchen: "Oh God, it's boiled over, it's EVERYWHERE".

I've seen her in interviews and she seems fairly grounded (frequent bouts of Freudian analysis notwithstanding) and not at all Martha Stewart-esque.

I'm a Gordon Ramsay fan, I love the f word.

When it comes to actually making something, I'm a big fan of this lady:

Her efficient yet soothing tone seems to say:

"It's just paprika, you can DO this."

in an ideal world, i'd be married to Nigella, and play Lloyd Grossman in squash on wednesdays.

I do like some of her recipes, others I find a bit too fussy and finicky.

I like a lot of Jamie Oliver's -v straightforward.

I do like Nigella. She is a woman after my own heart. She did this ridiculous recpie once involving a ham covered in brown sugar and cooked in Coca Cola. I've not tried it, I fear for my teeth. I'm intruiged to know what it's like though!
