Nigella Lawson
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
You need a balance in life between dealing with whats going on inside and not being so absorbed in yourself that it takes over.
Nigella Lawson
I was a quiet teenager, introverted, full of angst.
Nigella Lawson
Cooking is actually quite aggressive and controlling and sometimes, yes, there is an element of force-feeding going on.
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
And cooking is about balance and harmony.
Nigella Lawson
