CALLING NIGELLA FANS

[jenk1]

she,s on tonight at 8pm on BBC2

Nigella is back in her kitchen at a time when the nights are drawing in and most of us are up for a bit of extended kitchen work. As always Nigella's mantra is that cooking should be fun, if it becomes stressful then you're not doing it right.

In these three pre Christmas programmes Nigella lays out her philosophy for not only coping with but actively enjoying

I want to be her ! She's amazing, thanks for the reminder

I'll be watching too. She's been all over the place promoting it, hasn't she.

I have put up my Christmas kitchen curtains today in preparation

Blimey, MrsMillsletoe. We haven't got any Christmas decorations up yet, so I'm very impressed, and even more impressed taht you've got special Christmas curtains[.

Christmas curtains?

PLEASE tell!!

Please link!

ooh i love her. I bumped into her once and she smiled at me, it felt like a gift from the deities
And DH is out tonight, so i can watch uninterupted.

No link unfortunately. They're red and cream checked with red hearts on a top trim sort of thing. Goodness me, keep up will you!

Think Scandinavian style and youll be almost there. Also in the kitchen in a perfectly decorated gingerbread house, finished last night and making the kitchen smell delish.

do you look like nigella too mrs M?

I am Nigella.

send us a copy of your new book then! (is there one - nigella does xmas or somesuch title?)

No

That pan that she cooked the ham in, ive got to have one does anyone know where to buy one from?

TIA

Just watched her show and LOVED it- feel v Christmasy now and want to get cooking sweet little gingerbread cookies with the kids after school tomorrow.....
Where do we get her recipes though? Do you think they might be on BBC website somewhere?

I'll have a go at the apple and cranberry chutney and I have a huge salmon in the freezer, may try her version of gravadlax, that should wind a few of the neighbours up.

How much butter in that cake?

I'm bloody starving now,that ham looked divine, I could smell it through the telly!

Series webpages here - looks like it has the recipes, which is just as well, as she was really vague about it - in a poetic way, but, still annoyingly vague on quantities.

That ham did look amazing. If Nigella didn't exist we'd have to invent her, I reckon. Although some of the pouting and mugging at the camera was a bit much tonight...

blimey - don't her children look sooo much older.

thanks for that Jackie, i was just going to look for it myself!

jenk - this could be the pan in question

is it this one?

snap cupcakes

thanks for the link jackieNoHoHo

Nigella is always so vague on her programmes about the actual quantities I felt sure there must be a book coming out.

not much butter of course, just half a kg
yes Nigella how about some BLOODY quantities woman.
Ham looked grand though
Was that her cola ham?
