It's time for our final Christmas cookery webchat, and you won't be disappointed.... We're thrilled that the domestic goddess herself, Nigella Lawson is joining us at MNHQ for a live webchat on Tuesday 13th december at 1pm.
Just as Cranberry-Queen-Delia caused a shortage of fresh cranberries, 1996 saw the sales of goose fat rocket after it was championed by Nigella as the essential Christmas cooking ingredient. So if you want to know how to make the perfect roast potato or discover the secret to a succulent turkey, join us next Tuesday or send a question in advance to this thread.
Ahead of the webchat, we've been given permission to share Nigella's recipes for cranberry sauce and chestnut stuffing, both from her book Nigella Christmas which is now out in e-book format.
WEBCHAT GUIDELINES: 1. One question per member plus one follow-up. 2. Keep your question brief. 3. Don't moan if your question doesn't get answered. 4. Do be civil/polite. 5. If one topic or question threatens to overwhelm the webchat, MNHQ will usually ask for people to stop repeating the same question or point.

My goodness, you are serious about this (in a frivolous, fun kinda way, natch) aren't you worldgonecrazy? 
And yes, I agree that champagne in one perfectly manicured hand, with the other perfectly manicured hand positioned elegantly on hip, or holding long cigarette holder is way more stylish. On a woman. Not so sure about man + coupe. Possibly a bit fey?
She didn't answer my question 
. And it was a bloody good question, if I say so myself.
But Delia did. 
shoves Nigella's books to back of shelf
(maybe cranberries? )
Delia came over better (and not just because she answered more questions, including mine) but because she actually answered them rather than saying "look at my website, look at page 14 of my book" Even the daft personal questions like me asking her if she really made workmen piddle in the garden.
I still love Nigella's books, and her writing,and her recipes but I think I want Delia to be my Mum.
My mum does really look like Delia. Can't cook like her, though!
worldgonecrazy I am with you on the champagne coupe.
Have you visited the shop in Camden Passage which sells vintage glassware? They have some fantastic champagne porn stuff.
I am now the proud owner of a set of vintage etched coupe(s?) and this Christmas my house will be a flute free zone
