Why does she have to chop EVERYTHING with a mezzaluna?

I don't like the way she cooks two sirloin steaks cuts them really thinly then throws them.into an acre of salad and serves it up to 24 guests . That ain't clever.

YANBU. I can't stick her, she's so smug, and the constant innuendo is irritating.

DH loves her, predictably!

I quite like her tbh, though it fucks me off when she does the popping down to the kitchen for a snack in the middle of the night where amazingly the camera crew are still there & filming Hmm

I want to slap her smug face everytime I see it, but I do have to thank her for introducing me to the wonders of the mezzaluna, it really is a wonder TheDemonShedMaster .

I like Nigella. I like her amplitude (tho it is less than it was) and general aura of tasty treats in store. I realise this all sounds a little rude but I don't care. YABU.

She is beyond vile and totally unwatchable. Ugh.

Montybojangles I cannot dispute the usefulness of the mezzaluna, but it's the way she uses it - smugly, like she invented it...

I quite like her. Her How To Be A Domestic Goddess is pretty useful.

She looks like she might chop a finger off when she uses a knife.

I detest her smug little mush on my Christmas "GoodHouseKeeping" magazine.

Last couple of years was a photo of a Christmas table. Then this year, flipping Nigella
Hmm

Is she a trained cook/chef? I also find doodah whotzizname Camilla's son irritating too.

Lorraine Pascal grinds my gears - who can cook in a white t-shirt and have it remain pristine throughout, FGS?!?!?

I love her books, but hate her on TV. She is a characterture of herself and a bit ridiculous. I swear she pronounces numerous things very strangely - I use Southern pronunciations and still find the way she speaks odd.

Oh, and there is no denying that she is GORGEOUS. My dad said she was fat once - I jumped to her defence, even though I don't like her very much.

Yabu, her books are fab! (Although the florid descriptions of EVERYTHING can grate...)

Ooh the one that makes me bleurgh is the Saturday Kitchen French Chef (dark haired, cooks in a tiny kitchen flat in Paris)

The bowl she mixed her pastry in was a chipped enamel basin, looked like a dog bowl or a chamberpot Confused

But doesn't make me as Stabby as wheezy letch Anthony Worrell Thompson (I can't watch that Christmas Cooks programme seeing him chat up the female guests)

I LOVE Nigella and love her books but can't stand watching her. She was fine on Nigella Bites but the PP who said she's a caricature of herself is right. Bloody awful.

I don't blame you, she does my head in.
