You cannot truly say you live well unless you eat well.
Nigella Lawson
Image
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 never taste the wine first in restaurants, I just ask the waiter to pour.
Nigella Lawson
Image
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
Image
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
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.

And cooking is about balance and harmony.

There is a vast difference between how things seem from the outside and how they feel on the inside.

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.

I was a quiet teenager, introverted, full of angst.

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
In fact I am quite snappy and irritable, and I don't know if I'd like to make myself worse in that respect.

(In cooking), there is always room for careful tinkering.
Nigella Lawson
Image
Everyone wants to be young, beautiful and rich. I don't say that scornfully: there are worse things to want to be. But that's why, for example, people don't begrudge Kate Moss how much she earns for a day's work but will fulminate over the take-home pay of some fat, old Water Board exec.

I was brought up an atheist and have always remained so. But at no time was I led to believe that morality was unimportant or that good and bad did not exist. I believe passionately in the need to distinguish between right and wrong and am somewhat confounded by being told I need God, Jesus or a clergyman to help me to do so.

I don't like conflict.
Nigella Lawson
Image
I do think awful things may happen at any moment, so while they are not happening, you may as well be pleased.

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

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.
