Where were you when...Nigella seduced us over a hot stove, 30 August 2000
All it took was a flick of her 素早い行動 and we were 麻薬中毒の, remembers writer Stuart 遺産???
NIgella stirred up the nation in her debut TV show Nigella Bites?
I can tell you with pinpoint 正確 where I was when Nigella Bites debuted on Channel 4. This is because I was a skinny, homesick, わずかに hormone-addled student in my first year of university.
Leaving home for the first time can be utterly discombobulating but in Nigella Lawson I 設立する a stabilising 軍隊. Nobody in our dingy slug-infe sted house knew how to cook.
We lived off 挟むs, rice and endless jars of Chicken Tonight, hoping against hope that one of us would discover a latent culinary flair before scurvy kicked in. The only 道具s at our 処分, pre-wifi, were expensive cookbooks and TV chefs. And what a sorry bunch they were then. Delia was too starched. Antony Worrall Thompson was a muppet. Gary Rhodes was, 井戸／弁護士席, Gary Rhodes. Then along （機の）カム Nigella Bites. Nigella wasn’t a finicky, ‘cheffy’ chef. There she was, cooking at home for her friends, and she 現実に made it appear achievable. She cooked with frozen vegetables. She made a mess. She didn’t just cook either; いつかs she’d drag you away to her larder for a bit of a natter.
Nigella didn’t show off at all but she made you want to cook. And, of course, it helped that she is beautiful. So I made sure I watched Nigella Bites for two 推論する／理由s: to 区 off 餓死 and because I had developed a genuinely debilitating 鎮圧する on the host. I met Nigella many years later, during a 圧力（をかける） day where she had to taste and 裁判官 some food I’d cooked for her.
I can tell you where I was then, too, because I vividly remember hovering ten feet above my 団体／死体, watching myself blush, mumble and sweat because she was looking in my general direction. Student 鎮圧するs never ever go away.
