#Tonic #Food #NigellaLawson
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!
oh Meta what a great experience
Thank you for sharing! I'm happy things changed for you. I sorely miss the "Golden Age" of Food Network. Now it's just competition show after competition show.
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.
Did you say addictive or addict? She's a HUGE cocaine addict 😅😅
Only Nigella could get away with cooking lamb shanks and homemade creme brulee and make it look like an "effortless, stress-free" dinner.
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...
In one of them she literally puts chicken potatoes and veg in a tray In the oven as a quick dinner suggestion . So simple but Every time I make that I feel like a Michelin star chef .
HAHAAHAHA NOT COONALISA
I just feel she adds too little salt. Othereise...all good!
She knows the flavors of her ingredients and how they come together, so she doesn't really have to add extra seasonings.
oh pleeeeeeeze. Nigella knows exactly EXACTLY what she is doing. Your comment is not seasoned
" I don't mind to be pretentiously eclectic!" Oh I love this phrase! So cute!!
She has the most wonderful descriptions and she's beautiful
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...
She tends to throw at least one obscure brit-phrase in per show. Timorous bent lol! And brits are like "my nan says that!"
Nigella brought curvy body back way before Kim Kardashian. People forget that this was filmed almost 20 years ago.
Kim only brought surgically enhanced lumpiness to our screens. Black women were already happy to show their curves.
can’t compare kim and nigella. Kim is fake. Nigella is real. and Nigella are sooooo much more famine than kim.real women.
@@nhaho7057 famine she is not
@@warzachew5467 i think she meant feminine haha! Tiny mistake
Nigella brought gluttony back
I love Nigella. She brings such style and class to cooking.
The production for these videos is awesome. I also love Nigella's vibe. What a cool lady 😎
Produced by her late husband, John Diamond. 😌
Absolutely great production
these are some stuck up guests their faces are priceless
I find her incredibly soothing at the end of this extremely stressful week!
I love how chaotic and filled up her fridge is. hehe like normal people.
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’m guessing this was probably before we started to use the word “umami”.
Watching Nigella is my cure to distress.
She is drop dead gorgeous and can cook go Nigella!
she is perfection PERFECTION!!! She glides throw orchestrating a meal like she is symphony music
11:25 I like to imagine that her friends were asked to ask her where couscous hails from and are teasing her off-camera for her answer, hence the fit of giggles 😅
Oh, how I need Nigella this week...
Just love her technique and gorgeous descriptions. She’s brilliant!!!
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!
What r the measurement s of the ingredients
@@mahakhan5254 you can find the recipe on her website. But when she says double cream, it’s thickened cream in some other parts of the world
It's not creme brûlée it's pudding, creme brûlée is made in the oven it's a flan
My only gripe is she never scrapes her bowls and the frugal adult in me stays screaming.
Me too!!
omg yes! feels like such a waste!
Okayyyy 😅😂🥣
Hahaha
Ya !!! It is such a wastage of food/flavours that you have worked so hard to create.
Lovely adjectives everywhere! My parents loved watching her...
She always seems to enjoy her food , I love that
Nigella always cooks like she’s in a hurry to eat-very relatable queen.
So good! Love Nigella!
I like the idea of one larger crème brûlée for dessert instead of the individual ones! 😊 great idea!
I always do a large .
Nigella:There's something very calming about the smell of vanilla Me: I couldn't agree more
"How hard was that" seriously.. 👍😀
I LOVE HER!!
Yes my favorite chef ❤❤
"Supper time and the cooking is easy" 😂
I've always been under the impression that creme brulee is very difficult to make, well Nigella makes it look so easy to make. Lamb shanks are so tasty, but the lentils added to them makes it look even tastier. Thanks for sharing 👍
22:31 Someone didn’t care for the salmon starter! 🍣😣
Actually looking for this comment HHAHAHAHAH
Whatever I'm eating I watch her episodes it makes feel like I'm eating what she's cooking lol
One of the classiest woman❤
Food looks great! I swear Nigella doesn’t age lol
Looks so delicious and super easy .. nothing complex .. 😘😍
She should get a Grammy award!
she is mesmerizing
I've always loved her beauty. 💖 For a moment there I thought this was a new video. But I guess not. No one can look like like she has never aged. She's just so mesmerizing. 😊
I've always loved her, and she is high on the list of women I'd switch teams for...lol.....but during the thick of Covid, starting March 2020, started re-watching her...fell more in love with her, and would just love to make dinner with her and chat and laugh...
Original super model! 🌟
Good one 👍
Wow beautiful food, presented beautifully by a very attractive intelligent woman. Yum yum yummy
I watch her shows to buy all the tools she uses. I love her cooking utensils :)
And how much you spent ??
@@nayanpune4971 a couple hundred so far. I ve the little whisk, soup ladle, the double-handled herb chopper, milk pot n few other stuff that i cant recall.
She,always my fve.💕💕💕💕💕
Bravo
Tag yourselves I'm the judgemental lady eating a single chickpea at 22:39
💀💀💀
I think it’s actually two peas
And everyone says AMEN
Супер! Вельмi цiкава i смачна! 😋😊😘💛💛💛
22:30 says it all 🤣🤣🤣
all asians cringing cuz shes putting in the lentils without washing it first .. lol
OMG, Luv u, Nigella, but you discarded 90% of that vanilla bean hahaha
I would have taken the vanilla seeds out of the pod in the beginning. The little black dots would have been so much prettier!
Less flavour though. 👍
@@kurthubbard-beale5003 why less flavour?? you split the pod, scrape out the seeds, then you chuck the pod back into the cream with the seeds.
Love "like a mermaid's tail"
Love nigella! ..she always makes my mouth water as she's cooking lol 😆
I would ad tomato paste to the stew base… 😎
I would like to be her guest for dinner one day...😊 she makes it all look so simple and delicious. Love the way she goes mmmmmm so often. 😊
You can also put the lamb beneath the couscous. (To steam it)
Dinner 1: No veggies or salad served Dinner 2: A very FISHY meal
Yum! I love lamb!
The Virgo in me gets anxiety over how her shoes were just thrown in a pile!
You wouldn't survive in my house lol. We are happy when there is a pair 🤣
Well done. No histrionics, no brashness or coarseness, and a terrific no-nonsense approach. Why not more such videos?
I like better braised than boiled.
Does anyone know which book of Nigella's these recipes are from ?
One delicious item is missing on the table: Bread!
You are so right!
And voile we have a tangle of taste,,,,I think she could make a "mud pie" taste interesting.
Effortless supper ideas *crème brûlée*
Imagine being this iconic.
I've just found you, Nigella... And I'm already in love with you.
The world most beautiful women ever big up from Kongo kinshasa ❤️❤️🇨🇩🇨🇩
She’s so pretty👉👈
Stunning looking woman.
Can the choc pudding recipe ingredients be found anywhere?
I think online.
She reminds me of Sofia Lauren but more gorgeous, if possible.
She is an amazing woman. Makes me want to switch teams. Almost.
👍👌👌👌
❤️🌺
She's the big sister I never had.
8:17 -- Dalcha mutton !!!!
beutifull kitchen the chef to
Raw egg 🥚!!!
I would never make any of Nigella's recipes, they always look disgusting. But I do enjoy watching her talk about them.
she's still sooo beautiful
What is the name of this dish
Why would you use water instead of stock?
Her choice of words.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏super madam
20 years ago lamb shanks were a cheap cut - not any more.
Every off cut seems to be expensive now because food shows make them trendy. Oxtail, even beef tongue can be pricey now.
No salt? A lit garlic and other spices would prob bring up the flavor base on the ingredients doesn't seem like much depth of flavor
this is a real women wow.
they did Nigella dirty with that thumbnail lol
احبها كانت تطلع على قناة فتافيت بالعربيه ..
A quand une traduction en Français svp ? 😊
I think you could also use ox tails !
Preciosa
