To think Nigella is slightly mad?

[TragicallyHip]

Why use corn chips as croutons when you can just buy croutons

she would prob want to have sex with you too posh

Oh no Posh, I'd hate to be at one of her televised suppers, I'd feel like a peasant. She would drip honeyed words, and i'd laugh on the wrong place with an incredibly greeny and butterly scrumptious piece of spinach in my teeth.

woolymindy

I love, love, love her! Please can we have her for a web chat?

I just want her to stop saying things like "little blobs of ruby lovliness" and "oozing melting magically in the pan" and "unctiously sliding down my throat" I am more of a Delia girl myself although I have been watching Fanny Craddock does Johnny for Christmas on YouTube now there was one hell of an old Bird who enjoyed a good stuffing.

God, she's bizarre. It's impossible to watch without being completely sidetracked by her coquettish gurning and head wobbling. Why doesn't she just take all her clothes off in the kitchen then we wouldn't even bother to attempt to follow her recipes? (I bet those tits go south without a bra)

Is it a little bit untimely to have a cookery show starring a multi-millionairess, living in luxury in central London, who jumps in a cab to get a drop of truffle oil? I can't relate to any of it and just get my battered (in both senses of the word) old copy of Delia out

I love Nigella and her food. none of this low fat healthy eating rubbish.

but i hate that DP thinks that i should wear cashmere sweaters and black skirts and curl my hair...just so he can watch me cook whilst looking like her

donkeyderby - now that would be a show!

The roast potato croutons from "How to Eat" are fantastic - I do them all the time. Just one of the many great ideas I've picked up from her.

"How to Eat" is one of my favourite books ever - I love her recipes and her writing. It's a shame these days that her looks/persona detracts from that, but I daresay if I looked like her I'd want to flaunt it too!!!

YABU to think she is slightly mad, when it is clear to anyone with eyes that she is completel mad!

completely even!

You all know that kitchen/house is a set right?

Ok completely mad then! I was trying to be nice

Gissabreak Not seen the email. Not sure how to link an email.

Oh it's Tragic btw. Not changed my name from last night yet

thatsnotmymonkey What about when she walks outside in the garden, is that not her place either?

Thats right, it is not her house at all. None of it. It is a set. Good mate works on the show. A set. Her in her dressing gown looking all sultry and popping in the fridge- a sham.

I love her too and second/third/fourth idea for a webchat.

I just love sitting on a Sunday afternoon curled up on the sofa reading her books. (Obv at the moment it's the wondrous Christmas one)

Mind, she does get me doing bonkers stuff like ordering edible glitter from Jane Asher.

Webchat please - then I can ask here directly

so they don't film her at midnight sneaking down the stairs to get a snack?!

I really did think that was her pantry!

nope, a lovely quirky set. She lives in a 3 story billion pound town house in SW1.

I think the email comparing Gillian McKeith ('healthy' food) and Nigella ('unhealthy' food) is pretty cruel. I don't like G mcK whatsoever, but she is in constant pain from a chronic health condition. That's what being in pain does, makes you look old before your time. Obviously Nigella struck lucky in the genetic lottery, good for her, but most people who are a bit overweight simply don't look like her, and any amount of sneering at G McK's wrinkes won't make it so.

Well, in answser to the original question - because croutons from a packet are absolutely disgusting, whereas tortilla chips are yummy.

gigi but that is a complimum in a way, isn't it?

i think she is gorgeous. and her food tastes nice and is relatively low-fuss (for a schleb chef body)

though stil too over worked for me.
