Easy Dinners To Impress Your Guests | Nigella Bites | Tonic

This is the Nigella I remember from about 15 years ago. I had just retired in 2006 and I'd been divorced for several years and ate mostly pizza and other fast foods. So my sister saw my weight starting to increase and introduced me to the Food Network and several great cooking shows. At first, I wasn't sold on cooking for myself but I enjoyed the entertaining shows with their colorful hosts. Bobby Flay, Alton Brown's Good Eats, Giada De Laurentiis, Iron Chef America, and even Guy Fieri were helpful in showing me how to cook simple foods, and soon I was doing all kinds of fancy dishes. Then I saw the beautiful and articulate Nigella Lawson and I literally fell in love with her and cooking. I think she helped me the most. It's great to see her legacy being preserved on YT!

The way she talks about every single ingredient makes me want to eat and cook and eat and cook.... and eat. Nigella has always been addictive.

Even though sometimes I do think her cooking seem under seasoned, I always feel smarter after watching her videos lol. It's her rich vocabulary and her way with words...

Only Nigella could get away with cooking lamb shanks and homemade creme brulee and make it look like an "effortless, stress-free" dinner.

Nigella brought curvy body back way before Kim Kardashian. People forget that this was filmed almost 20 years ago.

She has the most wonderful descriptions and she's beautiful

" I don't mind to be pretentiously eclectic!" Oh I love this phrase! So cute!!

Watching her is therapeutic

She is naturally beautiful inside and out. I love watching her cook.

"low heat if you're of the timorous bent..." lesson in british sass...

My only gripe is she never scrapes her bowls and the frugal adult in me stays screaming.

The production for these videos is awesome. I also love Nigella's vibe. What a cool lady 😎

I love Nigella. She brings such style and class to cooking.

this was the most elegant and relaxed cooking series of all time. I watched it on 'cable' back then, and recently have been reviewing it, just to confirm it is so.

I find her incredibly soothing at the end of this extremely stressful week!

I’m guessing this was probably before we started to use the word “umami”.

I love how chaotic and filled up her fridge is. hehe like normal people.

these are some stuck up guests their faces are priceless

Watching Nigella is my cure to distress.

I have never had crème brûlée work for me until this recipe came along. It’s my favourite dessert and now I can finally make it. Delicious!
