This is the Nigella I remember from about 15 years ago. I had just retired in 2006 and I'd been divorced for several years and ate mostly pizza and other fast foods. So my sister saw my weight starting to increase and introduced me to the Food Network and several great cooking shows. At first, I wasn't sold on cooking for myself but I enjoyed the entertaining shows with their colorful hosts. Bobby Flay, Alton Brown's Good Eats, Giada De Laurentiis, Iron Chef America, and even Guy Fieri were helpful in showing me how to cook simple foods, and soon I was doing all kinds of fancy dishes. Then I saw the beautiful and articulate Nigella Lawson and I literally fell in love with her and cooking. I think she helped me the most. It's great to see her legacy being preserved on YT!

Thank you for sharing! I'm happy things changed for you. I sorely miss the "Golden Age" of Food Network. Now it's just competition show after competition show.

The way she talks about every single ingredient makes me want to eat and cook and eat and cook.... and eat. Nigella has always been addictive.

Did you say addictive or addict? She's a HUGE cocaine addict 😅😅

Only Nigella could get away with cooking lamb shanks and homemade creme brulee and make it look like an "effortless, stress-free" dinner.

She has the most wonderful descriptions and she's beautiful

Even though sometimes I do think her cooking seem under seasoned, I always feel smarter after watching her videos lol. It's her rich vocabulary and her way with words...

this was the most elegant and relaxed cooking series of all time. I watched it on 'cable' back then, and recently have been reviewing it, just to confirm it is so.

Just love her technique and gorgeous descriptions. She’s brilliant!!!

Watching Nigella is my cure to distress.

I’m guessing this was probably before we started to use the word “umami”.

My only gripe is she never scrapes her bowls and the frugal adult in me stays screaming.

I've always been under the impression that creme brulee is very difficult to make, well Nigella makes it look so easy to make. Lamb shanks are so tasty, but the lentils added to them makes it look even tastier. Thanks for sharing 👍

she is mesmerizing

She should get a Grammy award!

Every off cut seems to be expensive now because food shows make them trendy. Oxtail, even beef tongue can be pricey now.

Yum! I love lamb!

And voile we have a tangle of taste,,,,I think she could make a "mud pie" taste interesting.

I like better braised than boiled.

Well done. No histrionics, no brashness or coarseness, and a terrific no-nonsense approach. Why not more such videos?

She reminds me of Sofia Lauren but more gorgeous, if possible.

She undersalts a lot. I was just watching her make a huge salad and the only salt in it was from poaching liquid she had the salmon in. Love the recipes but even salad needs salt. You could even say salads *especially* need salt.

No salt? A lit garlic and other spices would prob bring up the flavor base on the ingredients doesn't seem like much depth of flavor

this is a real women wow.

Breast milk does not contain vanilla.
