catinboots · 19/06/2010 11:37

hahaha!...I haven't even attempted to watch it...when something makes me start shouting at the TV ie Soaps etc..I dont watch it....although I do have some love hate shows..perhaps this is your catinboots..

MrsC2010 · 19/06/2010 11:49

It's on in the background...I've never seen it before so hadn't realised how god awful it is. She is very pretty and all that, and I normally love homey cooking programmes...but she is just so smug and simpering.

MamaVoo · 19/06/2010 11:52

I've never watched it but I think it's a good general rule not to trust a skinny cook. Nigella can be a bit annoying with all that finger licking and coy looks at the camera, but at least she looks like she eats food.

TheBuggerofSuburbia · 19/06/2010 11:54

She is awful! And allegedly was sent for cooking lessons before doing the programme.

ugggh. I can't turn it off!! She keeps banging on about her Enid Blyton style childhood. If she really ate all those recipes no wonder she used to be such a heffer.

lmao@catinboots...(bet she watches it next week)

katkouta · 19/06/2010 12:04

Urgh! YANBU. She makes me want to vomit. Smug self indulgent shite! I saw the advert for the series when it began and knew it would be, so I steered clear. It was only last week I had the cooking channel on and on she slimed!

MrsC2010 · 19/06/2010 12:06

I just couldn't be arsed to move to get the remote. (Lazy pregnant heifer emoticon needed.)

bigfishlittlefishcardboardbox · 19/06/2010 12:27

I always secretly hope she gets fat again, but it doesn't seem to be happening.

Smug cow. Why's she so pretty? I hate her. Pah!

catinboots · 19/06/2010 12:35

She may be pretty but she has a ridiculously small husband.

MummyFifi · 19/06/2010 12:41

YANBU pretty yes, dull definitely!!!

wonka · 19/06/2010 12:44

LOL bigfish made me gag on my tea!!

BarmyArmy · 19/06/2010 14:52

I think she's lovely.

EmmaBemma · 19/06/2010 15:30

Threads like this always remind me of that 80's kids tv show... "Why don't you switch off your television set and turn off the TV and go and do something less boring instead?"

purepurple · 19/06/2010 15:40

at 'she has a ridiculously small husband'
I rather enjoyed the programme, thought all the recipes were easy to follow and loved her kitchen, really 'homely'.
Nigella bloody annoys me, can't watch her.

winstonstimpson · 19/06/2010 15:41

I think she seems like a really nice woman but the programme is shocking. It is very cringey with the poetry readings and the mooning about the place. She isnt a cook and I can learn nothing useful from her. I dont blame her for doing it tho, she must have made a fortune for doing not very much (apart from making arse of herself).

I am afraid that I view this along the same lines as replacing Arleen (sp?) Phillips on SCD. Asking someone decorative to do a job they know nothing about instead of having someone with technical knowledge/experience who may not look so gorgeous floating around a vintage china shop. Poor show.

darkandstormy · 19/06/2010 16:02

she has an alien type face, something reptilian about her eyes too.apart from that she looks a good egg.

catinboots · 19/06/2010 21:30

call me sizeist I don't care

EricNorthmansmistress · 19/06/2010 21:50

It's not her kitchen! It's a show kitchen that is rented out to cookery programmes and the like.

purepurple · 20/06/2010 09:09

So, it's not her kitchen. Still like it though.
