I can't abide the silly old tart. All that fluttery eyelash nonsense and fake Carry On style naughtiness

Oh TS! You took the words right out of my mouth! I tuned in one night as she showed us how to make a crumble mix. I sat gobsmacked as she demonstrated the rubbing in technique with her fingers and thumbs strategically placed in front of her bulging bosum and pert nipples as she demonstrated how to "rub" in!

This is no lie! Give me strength I sighed as I cussed at the tv and Ive never watched her since! My friend lent me a book of hers and eevery recipe seemed to have about 15 eggs in it!!!

[janeyo]

Yup my OH loves her magnificent dishes too

!!!

Think I might start watching Nigella from now on.

[taff]

Not that I fancy her, or anything smutty, like that! It's just that she has such lovely dishes!

doesn't gok call them bangers?

[Flummery]

Oh for heaven's sake fellas, wipe the drool off yer chins and just cook something!

I agree with Piskie and Two Sheds. Nothing to write home about. An inferior cook. She slats and slathers, and ends up with a dog's dinner. Nothing terribly edible.

The bit that irritates me is when she is referred to as a 'TV chef'. She's a housewifey cook, and not a very good one at that.

I shall go and lie down in a darkened room.

... but because she looks like she does, she gets the kudos. Women with Ramsey's looks wouldn't get a show

[Seahorse]

Poor Nigella, what a lot of judgemental comments from other women! I don't think there's anything wrong with wearing a low cut top and batting your eyelashes whilst you're baking. I do it! I use her books a lot and haven't had a disaster yet.

What about the 'two fat ladies'?

[Jeanied]

Well said, Seahorse. I think she's great - and two of my best efforts at cooking have come from her recipes - Clementine cake - smash hit at work, and chilli jelly which even got Grapestock approval!

[northepaul]

I dont mind her TBH, I have used a recipe from one of her series. Its nice to see a woman who isnt a stick insect become a sex symbol and I hope I look half as good as her at 50 (ish?)

[Two_Sheds]

What about the 'two fat ladies'?

Do they have a show?

I have nothing against a good looking woman, 50 or whatever, doing a cooking show - if she can cook. Just lay off the obvious eye-batting and lip-licking (both Bonjela and Sophie Dahl) ... it isn't necessary.
Ramsey, Chris Beardshaw, Monty etc - nom nom But they don't do all the eye-fluttering nonsense

You all forgot about the one who started the cookery queen stuff with the big eyelashes - FANNY CRADDOCK!!! Anyone else simply has to be a poor imitation.

And she was a minger, but she had her own show!!
