Nice advice Nigella

I'd love to see one of these celebrity cooks or chefs try cooking a lavish meal with a baby belling (or equivalent) - leaky oven door, oven/grill space less than half the size of a normal oven, 1 shelf if you're lucky, 2 hotplates, and only 1 of them works (v slowly) if the oven's on or the grill's being used.

If they asked nicely, they'd be allowed the use of a microwave and electric steamer.:D
 
I gave up on her the very first time I watched one of her xmas progs years ago.

It was "late on xmas eve" and she was preparing a massive piece of pork for roasting "the next day". She was rubbing the pork with some sort of mixture, patting it, kneading it... basically she had raw pork germs all over her hands. She then used these unwashed hands to roll up the sleeves of her expensive white silk-satin robe.

"The next morning" she came down to the kitchen (probably for the first cocktail of the day, 7am or something) wearing the same robe and started preparing the xmas breakfast. I know it was all pretend-cooking, but all I could think of was the raw pork and germs on her robe.

Has anyone ever actually died from something like this or have you been watching to many Dettol adverts? :)

Have you seen the reruns on saturday mornings of Keith Floyd travelling the world and cooking great food in an upturned frisbee over a candle with a flagon of wine in one hand? Still the best.
 
The meaning of names:

Nigella: Oh dear. We wanted a boy.
It's a flower, though. Also known as love-in-a-mist.

Some good tags -- by which I mean my tags -- have been removed from this thread. I am sad. Look, sad ---> :(
 
Who the fuck has more than one oven?

I got a double oven. It wasn't exactly pricey. I got it from B&Q for about £400 I think. Electric jobbie.

Under that counter jobbie and is no bigger than a single oven. I'd have been a fool not to have gotten it.

Cook your frozen pizza at one temp for 10 mins (or whatever) in the top oven and your frozen chips at the required higher level for 15 mins in the bottom oven and jobs a good un.
 
i will never watch this trollop again...Delia Smith is the Queen of cooking an not young pretender is ever stealing her (turkey) crown;)
 
Well I like Nigella - I like looking at her nice house and decorations and stuff.

I don't want to watch someone in a tatty flat with a baby Belling . No thanks, I've done too much of that myself.

it's meant to be entertaining - not to be taken too seriously. I think some of her recipes are rather good. I like her books, they are lovely to look at.



I 've got a Mercury range with a double oven now. I didn't have one when I was 22 tho.

These things are the consollations of middle age :D

It's not her house.

I was so put off by her that I didn't watch it again until the other night.


she might have another one of the same robe, and the porky one had been put in the laundry basket before retiring to beddie-byes.
