Lawso...Gotta disagree with you on this one, Andrew. Lawson never made the successful transition stateside, her shows having been pulled from the Food Network long ago. Although I think she may still have one on the Style Network. Perhaps it's different in Canada, with its close cultural ties to Britain. I see her as a dillitante; someone who sort of stumbled into the job at the right time in culinary history. I either cringe or squrim while watching her shows, her lack of skill is so obvious, and her recipes are often devoid of fresh ingredients. Her untidiness is downright unappetizing and strange. As Pru said, her "act" is really over the top and purely for effect - enough already with the licking of the fingers! Sheesh, she's been doing that for years, and it further reinforces the stereotype of the English having poor kitchen hygiene habits a la, cigarette butts in the tea cups, newpapers piled on the table, etc. I will say this about her shows - they have very good production values. In fact, I'm pretty sure that Barefoot Contessa used the same production crew, at least at the begining.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23768882.post-36961979429579321102009-07-12T21:58:24.296-05:002009-07-12T21:58:24.296-05:00nigellanuggests.blogspot.com?nigellanuggests.blogspot.com?Percy Chatsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01540730611624642062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23768882.post-63632322818610038592009-07-12T11:10:15.135-05:002009-07-12T11:10:15.135-05:00Pru, she is indeed a dream! I think that's whe...Pru, she is indeed a dream! I think that's where the fascination comes from. And I'm a sucker for good food production on television. As I say in the post, Martha and Nigella are strikingly different and Martha will always be my mainstay. But Nigella is my kitchen's Madam X!ANDREW RITCHIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07527048900781045398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23768882.post-21407475642486924042009-07-12T10:55:38.627-05:002009-07-12T10:55:38.627-05:00I love Nigella she seems so down-to-earth and not ...I love Nigella she seems so down-to-earth and not full of herself.

No!
Nigella was great at the beginnin...Oh Andrew! No! <br /><br />Nigella was great at the beginning but now she is awful. So over the top - the last series that I watched was based on Christmas and most of the things she did were from the local deli! Whilst she is a dream with all that flowing hair, and seductive charm of licking her fingers after dipping them in the cake mixture, she does not hold a candle to Martha. That said, her chocolate cake with a million calories is glorious and you must make it as soon as possible.<br /><br /><br />Pru---a---https://www.blogger.com/profile/04461894410524116446noreply@blogger.com
