I am not in the UK, so have only come to Nigella via books (bought by friends), magazines and the internet. However, pretty much everyone I know in the UK raves about her, so I have been giving various of her recipes a go over the last couple of years.
But no more.
Not ONE SINGLE THING has ever turned out edible. Not One. Yesterday was the last straw, when I decided to try her yogurt cake - what could go wrong? Well, pretty much everything. I ended up with a soggy, sticky, oversweet lump of half-cooked batter with an "attractive" bumpy burnt crust on top.
I am a reasonable cook and I bake quite a bit. I have no problems following recipes, so how can it be that nothing I've tried by Nigella has EVER turned out ok? Is it just me?
Ok, rant over. I just wanted to let the world at large know that I am giving up on Nigella Lawson FOREVER
