More quotes by Nigella Lawson
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.
Nigella Lawson
And cooking is about balance and harmony.
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.
Nigella Lawson
People who have fabulous childhoods have this sense that nothing is ever going to be that good again. With me, I have the sense that nothing is going to be that bad.
Nigella Lawson
I do think awful things may happen at any moment, so while they are not happening, you may as well be pleased.
Nigella Lawson
Emotion is messy, contradictory... and true.
Nigella Lawson
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
There is something wrong about being photographed that has nothing to do with vanity.
Nigella Lawson
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
I used to refer to myself as Typhoid Mary. It wasn't that I was jinxed, I just seemed to bring ill fortune to anybody I was close to.
Nigella Lawson
I am not sure about facelifts because I wouldn't want to be someone who just looks like she's had a facelift.
Nigella Lawson
Good olive oil, good butter, milk - they give food taste and depth and a richness that you cant reproduce with low-fat ingredients.
Nigella Lawson
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.
Nigella Lawson
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.
Nigella Lawson
At some stages of your life you will deal with things and at others you are overwhelmed with misery and anxiety.
Nigella Lawson
I wasn't good with authority, went to lots of schools, didn't like the fact that there was no autonomy.
Nigella Lawson
You don't go around grieving all the time, but the grief is still there and always will be.
Nigella Lawson
(In cooking), there is always room for careful tinkering.
Nigella Lawson
Gordon Ramsay makes me laugh because he knows that I'm not a chef.
Nigella Lawson
Sometimes...we don't want to feel like a postmodern, postfeminist, overstretched woman but, rather, a domestic goddess, trailing nutmeggy fumes of baking pie in our languorous wake.
Nigella Lawson
