Nigella Lawson
Image
Cooking is actually quite aggressive and controlling and sometimes, yes, there is an element of force-feeding going on.
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

Anyway, what makes people look youthful is the quality of their skin and I don't think you can change that.
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 never have plans for the future as you never know how things will turn out.
Nigella Lawson
