My other half was sooooooo delighted that the lovely Nigella has a new show....until he realised it's on his college night! Hahahahahaha.
It is strange' isn't it, how she is curvy, but sooo not fat. Bugger. I'd be happy to put on a bit of weight if I ended up looking like her...

A tart perhaps?

I'm afraid there's only room on my TV for one 'goddess' - Kirstie Allsopp. Love her wacky taste in green eye shadow and big button coats!

No doubt I'll have to record the goddess for Lyndon. He may be able to cook like JM, but he can't work the Sky Box! Tee hee!
Such power. Best behaviour dear or Nigella gets it.

Take a look at this
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/gardening/rakes-progress/ there's a rather nice photo for you to drool over. What's more, you can comment on what you think of her recipes.

Have tried the canellini bean mash she did on this week's show - it really is good and worth a go and dead easy. You haven't lived you know till you've done Nigella's ham in coca-cola (in her first book I think).
I like most of her recipes because they're not 'cheffy' they're proper family dinners tested on ordinary domestic appliances. (Chef books are often miles out on temperatures because they're tested in furnace-hot restaurant stoves, especially Gary Rhodes books, I always have to scribbed temperature changes in the margins with his). Not sure about the production on this new series, but I always like the spot at the end where she creeps down to the fridge and makes a midnight snack. Mmm - me too! Yum yum... more cheese, is there any wine left?

Dear all
Don't ever let me praise Nigella again. You may have noticed I went silent as soon as the series started. I thought what she claimed was "Express" was just what people have known for a long time - open a few cans, get some frozen veg out of the freezer. In fact a load of pretentious rubbish.
Now it seems I was right:

I'm glad you said that Allan as I watched the first couple and it seemed she only fell short of microwaving a ready meal.
I wasn't impressed but then maybe it just wasn't what I was expecting.

Seems to me Nigella is Very Smug Indeed. She is telling us women that we should all be busy busy busy with successful careers, yet still able to produce fab meals for our families, AND have sparkling social lives AND look wonderful.
Women have been told this since, oh probably the dawn of time. Nothing new there then.
And still impossible.
