At some stages of your life you will deal with things and at others you are overwhelmed with misery and anxiety.
Nigella Lawson

While I am sure there are a number of women who secretly wonder whether they are lesbian, most simply have, somewhere, a fantasy about having sex, in a non-defining, non-exclusive way, with other women.

I know the crew so well, so I forget I'm being filmed. It's like cooking with a friend in the kitchen - you're talking, as you do, and maybe you're telling her about this wonderful way to prepare lamb chops - it's more natural, more honest.

Cooking is actually quite aggressive and controlling and sometimes, yes, there is an element of force-feeding going on.
Nigella Lawson
Image
I am always surprised when people read double entendres into my innocuous babble.
Nigella Lawson
Image
There is a vast difference between how things seem from the outside and how they feel on the inside.
Nigella Lawson
Image
And cooking is about balance and harmony.
Nigella Lawson

I never have plans for the future as you never know how things will turn out.

Tension translates to your guests. They'll have a much better time having chili and baked potatoes than they would if you did roast duck with a wild cherry sauce and then had to lie down and cry for a while.

Gordon Ramsay makes me laugh because he knows that I'm not a chef.
Nigella Lawson
Image
But if you know that something has been really vicious, you don't read it, you don't let it into your head. What's damaging is when sentences go through your head and you burn with the injustice of it.
Nigella Lawson
Image
I wasn't good with authority, went to lots of schools, didn't like the fact that there was no autonomy.
Nigella Lawson
Image
I was brought up an atheist and have always remained so. But at no time was I led to believe that morality was unimportant or that good and bad did not exist. I believe passionately in the need to distinguish between right and wrong and am somewhat confounded by being told I need God, Jesus or a clergyman to help me to do so.
Nigella Lawson
Image
I do think awful things may happen at any moment, so while they are not happening, you may as well be pleased.
Nigella Lawson
Image
On the whole, I prefer Christmas as an adult than I did as a child.
Nigella Lawson
Image
In England and America people tend to graze all day long, but I think it's such a waste to be constantly picking at food because you then can't enjoy a proper full meal when the time comes.
Nigella Lawson
Image
I lurch from chaos to chaos. I can't find my driving licence and my clothes are everywhere - cooking is the neatest thing I do.
Nigella Lawson
Image
In fact I am quite snappy and irritable, and I don't know if I'd like to make myself worse in that respect.
Nigella Lawson
Image
I'm not much of a drinker. I'm an eater more than a drinker. So I feel that I don't have to wait to get a hangover in order to eat these.
Nigella Lawson
Image
I think we all live in a world that is so fast-paced, it's threatening and absolutely saturated with change and novelty and insecurity. Therefore, the ritual of cooking and feeding my family and friends, whoever drops in, is what makes me feel that I'm in a universe that is contained.
