Nigella Lawson in conversation with Annabel Crabb
With her feet firmly on the ground, and her finger in the mixing bowl, Nigella Lawson has charmed us with her approach to food and cooking. Based on the principle that food should be a simple pleasure to cook and to eat, her recipe books emphasise the importance of friends, family and celebration. At a time when many of the messages we get about food alternate between anxious exhortations to eat ‘clean’ and the technical wizardry of competitive cooking, her relaxed and realistic approach shows a different path, where food can be creative, a source of comfort and a joyful part of life.

I so agree
I miss watching her cooking show. Thank you to KZread that I got to watch all her past cooking videos
Oxford graduate. Very very well spoken. Extremely smart.
I love what Nigella said about her praise chicken being a way her children can taste what her mother cooked.
This shall forever be one of the videos I watch when I am feeling a little deflated and unsure.. Such wisdom, such grace.. I am an absolute fan
I absolutely adore and admire her. Honest...authentic ...articulate...graceful...intelligent. I wish her many many more years of healthy eating. ❤️🙏🏽❤️
Love this woman, Nigella. Drop dead gorgeous, intelligent, inspiring, captivating, funny and oh, so entertaining. If you ask me, she should be up for an academy award!
Goddamn, this woman is brilliant... so well spoken and so insightful. What a wonderful gift to humanity she is.

I absolutely adore Nigella ! She is so authentic & honest and has a ready answer to every question that’s posed towards her. She can’t be caught out and god forbid would never be !! If you’re honest that’s easy and here she shows herself as her best....totally genuine ! She has a story and is so intriguing here and is always, I love her for that - and her absolute un vaineness !! She is so real and yet beautiful as a result ! I really think she should run for parliament or something else becos she is truly genuine and real ! Love you Nigella X Did I mention I love her and I have been married for 31 Yrs yet totally in love with this person.... j’adore you Ms Lawson !! I think Nigella would appreciate an Italian anecdote here but I don’t know one ?!! But I LOVE YOU NIGELLA X

Fabulous Interview! Nigella is awesome. May she continue cooking for us and sharing her recipes for a long time!!
AMAZING I saw Nigella at the Melbourne Town Hall too a once in a lifetime experience for me anyway
I love the passion in this interview, mixed with the relaxed and considered thoughts
By far the best talk with Nigella that I've seen. Really well hosted.
Why do so many interviewers interrupt and not let their guest talk, it's terrible. Crabb can't shut up for 2 seconds and talks like she's on speed.

To be fair to Annabel, this video is clearly titled "Nigella Lawson in conversation with Annabel Crabb", not "Nigella Lawson is interrogated to within inches of her life by ABC interviewer" :P My reading is that Annabel here is an active catalyst (for conversation), not just a passive retort stand?

She is real and also really beautiful, really BRILLIANT as well.
Absolutely LOVE Nigella. I could listen to The Goddess speak all day.

I absolutely love Nigella!! Wish the interviewer would let her speak and also if the interviewer would refrain from kicking up her leg all the time. Nigella should be the focus not the interviewer.

I’ve always loved Nigella Lawson. She cooks and feels about food much similar to myself. So nice to listen to her!😍 But...Wow...not a fan of Anabel Crabb...
Wonderful person.
"People think that all I do is sit around and eat chocolate cake" 😂

It is a matter, nay a sign of intellectual and emotional maturity to learn the difference between what is worth paying for and what is priceless.
Yes! Recipes evolve. Pioneers had lard. Now we have olive oil, avocado oil, or sesame oil. My best recipes involved working with leftovers, and shortages. Turkey and orange pecan cranberry compote wrapped in lettuce. Out of bread. Mango chutney and ham are good

She wouldn’t mention who the contentious people were....she is so eloquent, tactful & honest I believe and admire her to the hilt ! Ok this is cringeworthy but there’s not many celebs I follow and Nigella is the “creme de la creme” to use a French culinary analogy ! What one needs to do is to learn an Italian analogy becos Nigella loves Italian culture so much ! La Dolce Vita ! To Nigella and her personal & public life X Godbless you X

Oh dear, Anabel. Did you think your role in this interview was to out-Nigella Ms Lawson? Some of your questions seemed thinly disguised excuses to talk about yourself. "Sorry to interrupt whatever you were saying, but I am talking now and I will talk over you, Nigella, as I'M the greater star?" Asking the question when it was essentially answered because you've failed to listen to the answer, waiting breathlessly for her to stop talking so you could talk about yourself AGAIN? The truth is, audiences have become tired of left wing journalists talking over people; it just makes you look like a bad journalist. And dear god, the same old tired feminist rhetoric? Her greatest sin is writing a book on baking which seems to be synonymous with spitting on feminist ideals? Appalling.

I just stumbled upon this lovely chat between two smart, talented cookery writers. All those idiots here who criticise Crabb fail to understand that a conversation is two way and that this one allows Nigella to expound on an incredibly wide range of topics, in some considerable detail. Very well researched questions allow her to shine. Sometimes its just pearls before swine, I guess...

What a rude thing to say. Crabb, who is usually pretty skilled, did a very poor job and when Nigella came back to Australia she took the unprecedented move to ask not to be interviewed by Crabb again. Nobody paid to hear Crabb's views. We were all there to hear and see Nigella. And the questions weren't well researched. Given Nigella is an Oxford graduate, she could have handled far more weight. Crabb was not interviewing a housewife, after all.
