The Transformation Of Nigella Lawson Is Turning Heads
Before Nigella Lawson became a popular celebrity chef and food writer, she began her career in publishing and journalism. She began writing book reviews for the magazine The Spectator, and in 1985, she became a restaurant critic.
Lawson gained prominence during the late '90s and early 2000s, when she published her first best-selling book How to Eat and began hosting her popular TV show Nigella Bites.
Today, she has appeared on and hosted various other TV shows, and she continues to have a successful writing career. Nigella Lawson's transformation from obscure restaurant critic to one of the best-known names in the food world is turning heads.

Nigella’s shows really help with my anxiety. When my mum died last year, I watched her old shows for hours everyday. Even now when I have a panic attack, I put one of her shows on
Her original shows (Nigella Bites/Feasts) are my favorite cooking shows ever. The production was fantastic. Everything just felt very authentic and Nigella is so articulate and engaging. I still watch them on youtube when I'm stressed.

This woman should have been the sexiest woman alive at least for a few years. Even today I think she’s the most attractive looking celebrity.

Nigella is beyond fabulous. Her manner is so very genuine and calm. I have all of her cookbooks my Husband and I cook at least two of her recipes every week. I love and adore that Nigella talks about food in the most truly sublime manner and she exibits her joy of her produce. Australia.
Nigella is not a chef. She’s said a hundred times that she’s a home cook and just loves food. She’s only 10 years older than I am, and her approach to cooking reminds me of my grandmum, and my mum. ❤️

She's not a _"Trained Professional Cook"_ which is what a Chef is, but she's still a TV Cook, Food Columnist, Cookbook Writer, and TV Personality who'll always be seen as a Chef-since she Cooks professionally like one. I'm glad that as a Journalist who worked as an Editor & Reporter she found her passion _(Cooking & Food),_ combined the 2, enjoyed it _with the Love of her life John_ -may he _Rest In Peace,_ and has been living her life to the fullest while enjoying her children.

What a wonderful wrap-up about Nigella. I used to watch Nigella Bites and Nigellisima over and over. I don't get any of her TV shows anymore. I do miss them. I read an article about her where she said that when she became a teenager, her mother grew jealous of her, blaming Nigella for the attention given her due to her natural beauty. Her life as a child must have been most unpleasant, and am glad she turned into the beautiful soul that she is.
I think Nigella is awesome…incredibly talented, charismatic and beautiful. She’s overcome personal tragedy and has cemented her place in the cooking world🌸 She rocks!
She’s just so beautiful, both inside and outside!
It’s unbelieveable how unfair life can be to good people. I’ve known all her story and I’ve been admiring her for years. A Queen of life and a kitchen!
She has an earthy, feminine beauty, and I love her cooking videos.

Many things unknown to me about her family life but to know her life is a success is pleasing. Always a pleasure to watch.💐

I grew up watching her cook and joyfully celebrate life through food. She is perhaps among few people that you can't help but smile with the way she diplays her dense relationship with food. People speak of comfort food, I speak of comfort shows as well. She and Anthony Bourdain are my always comfort shows.

Sorry, but try living through a life with parents who hated and abused you, being sent to live In homes run by sadistic nuns and priests and then have a neglectful and philandering partner. Then bringing up your kids to be kind and caring (without any money) and then you know you are strong. NL had a very privileged life compared to most people yet you seem to think she is a hero! I can only wish I had her upbringing.

If she revels in an activity, Nigella makes an art form of it. Cooking is her passion and outlet, she really does it well, and being a natural actor, she sweeps us along! I can’t cook and speak at the same time, and I’m not sure I can do either well. Nigella might not have chosen her mother’s genes, if she’d had a choice, but her genes on both sides are a real gift! I’d like to think her children are happily choosing their own path.
I’m not a fan of meeting celebrities - but I would love to have a dinner with Nigella! She’s beautiful, Smart, funny and seems to handle everything with dignity and grace. And her love for food AND language is infectious!!
Speaks a lot of how simple she is, the way she chooses partners. None of them with her unparalleled beauty
I didn't know so many things about her, thank you she's inspiring
ALL the best with her shows and bookies. She deserves, God Bless!!!
Needless to say, she's stunning, as a person, personality, a chef and in her looks. I learnt how to cook (poach) a salmon, thanks to her 😌 Love her ❤💯
Here's why she's turning heads: she's smart, gorgeous and related to wealth and privilege. She's extraordinarily lucky, and has done a lot with it. I wish her every success (even when she indulges in some silliness or other).
She is one of my favorites, her unconventional bubbly enthusiasm and matter of fact attitude along with her genuine enjoyment of food and cooking makes her irresistible
I adore her. Classy and gorgeous. Im a chef too and she inspires me so much.

In a world where most people whine about absolutely everything, she is graceful despite losing ppl she loved to early deaths and being with an abusive husband. She has also managed to raise good kids. That's more than what a lot of ppl do these days, especially in the west.
I don’t have children and I have never thought having them would make things alright.
