It's true that I wouldn't have written the first book had my sister and mother been alive. It was my way of continuing our conversation. It's also this Jewish thing of naming and remembering people, and I think there is a sense of keeping that side of life going.

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.

I am not a chef. I am not even a trained or professional cook. My qualification is as an eater.

I am not sure about facelifts because I wouldn't want to be someone who just looks like she's had a facelift.

You don't go around grieving all the time, but the grief is still there and always will be.
Nigella Lawson
Image
But I do think that women who spend all their lives on a diet probably have a miserable sex life: if your body is the enemy, how can you relax and take pleasure? Everything is about control, rather than relaxing, about holding everything in.

There is something wrong about being photographed that has nothing to do with vanity.

I do think awful things may happen at any moment, so while they are not happening, you may as well be pleased.

On the whole, I prefer Christmas as an adult than I did as a child.

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.
