Nigella. Repeatedly.

i don't like her. she pours wine from glasses back into the bottle.

TheDemonShedMaster · 31/12/2012 15:17

Why does she have to chop EVERYTHING with a mezzaluna?

Pantofino · 31/12/2012 15:19

peace Shock - say it ain't so!!

crypes · 31/12/2012 15:21

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.

SpanielFace · 31/12/2012 15:21

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

DH loves her, predictably!

Moominsarehippos · 31/12/2012 15:22

I say that too. Give me Ina any day.

BarredfromhavingStella · 31/12/2012 15:36

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

Montybojangles · 31/12/2012 15:40

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 .

AwkwardSquad · 31/12/2012 15:42

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.

Latonia · 31/12/2012 16:11

She is beyond vile and totally unwatchable. Ugh.

TheDemonShedMaster · 31/12/2012 18:08

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

WhereYouLeftIt · 31/12/2012 18:46

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

LovesBeingAtHomeForChristmas · 31/12/2012 18:49

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

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 31/12/2012 19:45

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

Moominsarehippos · 31/12/2012 19:52

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

TheDemonShedMaster · 31/12/2012 21:30

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

3monkeys3 · 31/12/2012 21:34

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.

3monkeys3 · 31/12/2012 21:35

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.

forgetmenots · 31/12/2012 21:36

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

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 31/12/2012 21:44

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)

mrsjay · 31/12/2012 21:51

bugger off thats nice of you id say a much much stronger word , I cant stand her.all her programme needs is dodgy porn music in the background Grin

mrsjay · 31/12/2012 21:52

i rather watch nigella porn than nigel slater though with his little brown packets of butter and his weird mouth Angry

mrsjay · 31/12/2012 21:52

a snack in the middle of the night where amazingly the camera crew are still there & filming

they live in her fridge Grin

StuntGirl · 31/12/2012 23:27

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.

Sparklyblue · 31/12/2012 23:34

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