to really cringe at the bits in nigella's kitchen..

[fluffles]

.. where her friends and family perform a little vignette?

is this all jamie oliver's fault???

it's just so cringe....

[but i will be trying her fried gnocci thing though ]

whats a V a little vignette?

YAVDNBU. I love her recipes, but hate her cheesy overacted pretending this is her kitchen and these people just happened to be coming round for dinner load of old bollocks.

Will probably ask for the book for Christmas though.

tonights episode did have a 'rent-a-friend' feel to it. am not sure any of the people she cooked for actually know her.

I found her friends to be unreasonably good looking. No munters allowed.

YADNBU

I did a fair bit of cringing.

I was cringing at her spiel while she was doing the "plate trifle"....so over the top!

I too will be trying the fried gnocci

I think shes always looks drunk. Im just waiting for her to fall into the oven.

She is a hammy idiot but I would feel her boobs up after stealing her chocolate torte.

cringing here too...I half expected them all to randomly burst into song....

I only switched on halfway through - couldn't work out what the fried thing was....did she boil the gnocchi first or just make 'em and fry 'em?

laughing very much at wholovesyou.......falling into the oven!!

It was cringy in places. I still love her though. I love the new book .

I hate the smug way she has NOTHING in original packaging. who in real life get the bisquits out of the pack into a jar? I eat them I just don*t bother...

Does anybody else remember her doing taste-tests on This Morning many moons ago, long before she was famous for her cooking? I remember her coming across as pretty weird and with all the charisma of a carrot

I wonder if the packet thing is an advertising issue? The gnocchi was defo sainsburys.

That said, lots of product placement for Kitchenaid on the Beeb...the Great British Bake Off had them in every colour and Nigella was using hers tonight.

I cringe when she does those 'midnight feast' bits in her pjs and the sun is clearly shining behind the closed curtains. It also pisses me off a bit that production think that we actually believe that she has a camera crew spending the night in her kitchen. Like some sort of weird human Autumn Watch voyeurism.

I cringed when she called lamb steaks 'promiscuous'...wtf??? Dirty lamb steaks!!

We watched just after the doom credit crunch documentary on t'other side. Twas like entering the twilight zone.

And DH nearly fell off his chair when she asked the failed-musical-theatre actor if he loved her lovely vagina.

Or fajita.

Way passed its sell-by date.

But v funny.

she's become a caricature of herself. overly smiling, overly simpering, overly buxom. i had to switch off.

Yes, ruddy. Exactly. Or fodder for Harry Hill's show...

Was also a bit cringe-worthy when she called out to her son 'Bruno! Supper! NOW!' in a fake way. Son (Bruno) looks like a nice kid though.

Just kept imagining a spoof in my head of someone making beans on toast in the same simpering way!!!

fried gnocchi thingies looked good - kids would like those i think. She does ham it up something rotten but i like her recipes

I thought she said 'that'll feed the hungry whores!' but DH says it was 'hungry hordes'

And celery in a vase? WTF?

I too will be asking for the book for Christmas though!

dh and I noticed the vagina/fajita thing too.
Not enough chicken for 4 people.

Plus her friends looked like her childrens friends.

Gnocci looked yum. Not boiled, just fried out of pack.

The making the trifle while eating toast was silly. Who whips cream in a suit before work????

And who puts celery in a vase?

She is infuriating to the extreme. I would rather like to slap the smug pout of her face.

And then get her to make me a chocolate peanut butter cheesecake
