YOUNG: It was the gemelli with anchovies, tomato and mascarpone. What was the dish that set this going in your brain? You know, I'm told that you decided to take this on after watching an episode of Nigella's show. Nathan Young and Nigella Lawson are here to talk about what happened next. He decided to commit to spending 365 days cooking Lawson's recipes. He and his husband were watching Lawson one night when Young cooked up a pretty big challenge for himself. Young is a marketing professional from England. And it was one of those television shows that inspired Nathan Young to dive into the kitchen and to get to work. These are your friends.ĭETROW: And that is Nigella Lawson, who has comforted so many wannabe cooks over the years through several TV shows and cookbooks. You're not having an ambassadorial reception. NIGELLA LAWSON: Just concentrate on providing a welcoming atmosphere.

Now she's married to Charles Saatchi, the advertising mogul and art collector, whose presence is felt just a tiny bit in this, her sixth book. She was part of England's literary elite-cooking lamb for Salman Rushdie in the early days of the fatwa, her hair caught fire in the oven-but also the single mother of two children, trying to get dinner on the table and have a good time doing it.
It was a gimmick that worked on all sorts of levels, and told you that despite the 30 minutes of stirring, chopping, and licking that had just elapsed, here was a girl who would rather eat pasta in bed than anything else, and really, wouldn't you rather, too? The Domestic Goddess wants to leave you time for a bath, a drink, and a little conversation with your friends before you serve dinner.Īt the end of an episode of Nigella Bites, the cooking show that made the bosomy British former literary editor Nigella Lawson into a self-described gastro-porn star, she changed into a satiny robe and climbed into bed with a bowl of pasta.
