NIGELLA LAWSON - ‘I DON'T DEPRIVE MYSELF OF ANYTHING'

INDULGENCE IS A WAY OF LIFE FOR THE CULINARY GODDESS

- Paul Ewart

Despite being synonymous with late-night trips to the kitchen fridge for naughty slices of chocolate cake – all devoured with a cheeky wink or seductive smile to the camera – Nigella Lawson’s real life is far less indulgent.

“People think that I’m eating cakes all the time!” the British television cook and bestselling author tells New Idea, giggling. “I do love baking, but I wasn’t brought up with having puddings and dessert in the normal run of things and I don’t do it now.

“It just wouldn’t occur to me to make a dessert unless I’ve got people coming over, or maybe for Sunday lunch.”

Unsurprisingly, Nigella has been a longtime champion of the ‘anti-diet’.
