And cooking is about balance and harmony.
Nigella Lawson

Anyway, what makes people look youthful is the quality of their skin and I don't think you can change that.

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.

Glamour really has to do with good lighting, doesn't it?
Nigella Lawson

You cannot truly say you live well unless you eat well.
Nigella Lawson

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