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.

More quotes by Nigella Lawson
I never taste the wine first in restaurants, I just ask the waiter to pour.
Nigella Lawson
Cooking is actually quite aggressive and controlling and sometimes, yes, there is an element of force-feeding going on.
Nigella Lawson
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
At some stages of your life you will deal with things and at others you are overwhelmed with misery and anxiety.
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
On the whole, I prefer Christmas as an adult than I did as a child.
Nigella Lawson
And cooking is about balance and harmony.
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
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
There is a vast difference between how things seem from the outside and how they feel on the inside.
Nigella Lawson
Gordon Ramsay makes me laugh because he knows that I'm not a chef.
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
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
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
Anyway, what makes people look youthful is the quality of their skin and I don't think you can change that.
Nigella Lawson
I never have plans for the future as you never know how things will turn out.
Nigella Lawson
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.
Nigella Lawson
I am not a chef. I am not even a trained or professional cook. My qualification is as an eater.
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 think we all live in a world that is so fast-paced, it's threatening and absolutely saturated with change and novelty and insecurity. Therefore, the ritual of cooking and feeding my family and friends, whoever drops in, is what makes me feel that I'm in a universe that is contained.
