in thinking that Nigella Lawson is a smirking bovine fool ?

[jtop]

She just gets on my nerves so much !!

yabu - she's no fool.

Yanbu- she's vile and not a chef,she's a cook.

Seth, you took the words out of my mouth.

Nigella Lawson is no fool. She's not particularly smirking either. And if I was a cow I would be very happy to look like Nigella

OP, YABU.

I think YABVVVU...'a smirking bovine fool'?!

How rude.

Bovine fool? What a lovely way to describe another woman who you've never met...

Care to expand on your OP?

Why describe her as 'bovine' in particular?

YABU. I made her brownies today and they were AMAZING. I don't like it when she deep fries a pig's ear and tucks in though. Yuck!

Why are there no female chefs on tv ?

It's all the ooooh look I'm so sexy crap, makes me cringe!

I love Nigella and can't abide anyone with a gripe against her. Her recipes work and they make me look like I know what I'm doing in the kitchen. She's a successful woman and passionate lover of food - this country needs more female role models like her. I cherish every Nigella book on my shelf. I could chuck the rest out.

OK so you're pissed off she uses her sexuality . Why call her bovine?

Nowt bovine about Nigella.

Hey scarabeetle you're not her mother by any chance are you ?

Erm there are female chefs/cooks

Nigella being one of them...

I also cringe when I see her doing all that sexy stuff licking her kitchen utensils - she so isn't sexy - it's really forced and obvious and she just needs to lay off all that food.

Why does she 'need to lay off all that food'?

I watched an episode of her show once with my mum who said 'she'll have that banana up er chuff next'

I agree she is just so false.

I'm with scarabeetle. I'm so much more confident in the kitchen thanks to Nigella as I know if I use one of her recipies it will turn out how it's meant to.

I want to be nigella. Still wouldn't eat the pig's ear though.

In her Christmas book she claims she soaks her turkey in a bucket of water for 24 hours before cooking it.

Her Christmas book is awful. Anyway, everyone knows delia is the kitchen queen!

Jtop, yes she may well be false. But why describe her as 'bovine'?

You know what bovine means, yes?

I have no idea whether her recipes are any good or not. I so can't bear to watch her doing her smirky thing on TV that it puts me off buying any of her books!

Yes Valpatronising, I do. You may not like the word but it is what springs to mind for me when I see her.

Maybe it is the udders ?

Well cows have big brown eyes and look at you all dopey.

I don't think she's unintelligent, but she is quite irritating.

Lol at banana up chuff

I don't think she's a fool but she does smirk and appears to be very smug. I can't watch her but I quite like her recipes.
