Nigella Lawson
Emotion is messy, contradictory... and true.
Nigella Lawson
I am not a chef. I am not even a trained or professional cook. My qualification is as an eater.
Nigella Lawson
But if you know that something has been really vicious, you don't read it, you don't let it into your head. What's damaging is when sentences go through your head and you burn with the injustice of it.
Nigella Lawson
Glamour really has to do with good lighting, doesn't it?
Nigella Lawson
There is a vast difference between how things seem from the outside and how they feel on the inside.
Nigella Lawson
On the whole, I prefer Christmas as an adult than I did as a child.
Nigella Lawson
