Nigella Bites

"Food always has to be more than just fuel. It is what brings us together with our memories."
-Nigella Lawson

Domestic Goddess, Nigella Lawson, makes no secret of the fact that she loves eating and entertaining. Nigella Bites invites us into her kitchen to learn how easy and effective a good meal can be – whether you are cooking a stolen treat for one or a feast for an entire tribe of friends and family. With step by step guides, from the exhausted mother’s teatime special (a jar of tomato sauce, some basmati rice and parmesan to grate over) to a favourite pudding of rhubarb and muscat wine jelly, each recipe is accompanied by practical tips and fuss-free principles. “I am not a chef. My qualification is as an eater... I wanted to make my slavering passion for food the starting point. I have nothing to declare but my greed”. As outrageously tasty as the food she passionately prepares, Nigella is easily the sexiest TV cook around.

Nigella Lawson

Nigella has been teaching us about the pleasures of the table since her first book, How to Eat, hit the shelves in 1998. She has since published several best-selling cookery books, many complementing an accompanying television series, and has become known for her sensual descriptions of her dishes.

Nigella studied Medieval and Modern Languages at Oxford, and went on to work as a publisher, becoming deputy literary editor of The Sunday Times. She then pursued a successful career as a freelance journalist, during which time her work was published in significant culinary and lifestyle magazines around the world.

Nigella was voted author of the year at the 2001 British Book Awards. In 2001 she was awarded – but turned down – an OBE from Her Majesty the Queen for services to journalism and cookery.
