I have saved and rewatched all of her old shows, but her holiday episodes are always the absolute best. No idea why she isn't a phenomenon in the States.
I never tire of watching Nigella. It’s not just her recipes, which seem like something I can really recreate, but it’s also her beauty and warmth. She feels like just the best sort of friend!
Nigella literally cooking “panchforon aloo” (five spices potatoes) and making it look fancy!! 😅 I’ve watched her as a kid way back in early 2000s and I still watch these videos on YT every year during Holiday season. Her Christmas recipes and the way she describes her creations never gets old 🎄💓
I love watching Nigella cooking and entertaining. She makes everything look so easy and fun. Why is it that I seem to stress out having people over? She makes it so effortless. I need her no nonsense attitude.
I love all the sounds of clinking sloshing pouring etc ! Love that you keep seeds and spices past the use by date like the rest of us. Don’t waste. 🥰🎄🙏🏼☕️🍩🎁
TRADITION!!! Must watch this Christmas Eve Special by Nigella, beginning in November and all through the Holidays to feel that Christmas is coming. Love her children decorating the Christmas tree with their Home-made cookies with Multi-color Dragees! The Spirit of Christmas! ♥️🎄🎀🎄♥️🎄🎀🎄♥️🎄🎀🎄♥️🎄🎀🎄😋
Yes. Sometimes she strikes me like one of the classic Hollywood glamour women of the 1940's. Plus she's got that mane of raven hair, the Marilyn hourglass shape, and the delightful Mary Poppins English accent.
@@eduardo_corrochioMarilyn was actually quite petite and tiny, not as tall or voluptuous as Nigella. Both gorgeous in very different ways, both exude a classic glamour and sensuality.
@@katashley1031 Oh, but Monroe *was* very voluptuous. I know the lady was 5'5 but she was curvy and sexy and glamorous (meaning the persona we know from the movies after she became a wildly popular Hollywood star).
In Indian cooking, you are supposed to put all the seeds into the oil first. Putting them on top of the veggie doesn't bring the flavour out. Seeds spices give out their flavour in hot oil, the tempering (tadka) is what gives Indian food its flavour.
WONDERFUL is the Only word that can describe Nigella's Christmas videos! Searched high and low for the multi colored dragees and after three years, l found them at Dean and Deluca. Perfect for decorating Christmas cookies. Try round butter cookies with a small dollop of good buttercream frosting and just One Dragee in the center of each! Simply Beautiful and so Festive!!! LOVE Nigella Lawson she's truly an Inspiration! 😃🌹♥️🌹🎶🥃😋♥️🌈🎉
I love that Nigella cannot kick her “Indian” food habit!! I have yet to meet anyone who can walk away from the smell of an Indian dish cooking (any region…our region is Bengal)…I similarly cannot eat breakfast eggs without proper mango chutney. Last I was at a restaurant in London, I literally brought a Tupperware container of Patak’s mango chutney with me to eat my full English with! Lol!
Us Indians never put mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds and cumin seeds on top of the vegetables. We put it straight in hot oil, let it pop and then put vegetables in the pan
I love this! I'm not an entertainer by any stretch of the imagination but still find this most inspiring. She made an absolutely amazing presentation of the brownies! I'd like also to try the cranberry dessert and that lentil soup. 😋YUM😋
Ok, let me get this straight.... Guy Fieri gets 8-10 hours of daily programming on The Food Network, yet people have to watch Nigella's older shows here on RU-vid?
Which I never thought of until you thought it up, and don't mind at all, but I REALLY hope it's not because the company thinks we only want to see "younger, sexier Nigella", and that Nigella is only marketable when frozen in time 😡🤢. I like her whenever and all the same.
The seeds always go first in the hot oil :) and once they splutter , goes in turmeric. And then the rest of the stuff. No?? Whatever .. I love her videos
I agree with the other viewers. Those Indian spices MUST be tempered in a pan with oil or ghee and then add the potatoes. Mustard seed like that is inedible. She flies by the seat of her pants and the producer thinks it will go unnoticed. 🎱
Thank you for uploading this I've been looking for this particular video for years , I tape it on a VHS and it got wet ,I'm so glad I found this episode again, thank you🤗
Nigella ⚘️ I know you had a lovely Christmas I love to watch your shows around the holidays I always get such wonderful ideas because you are so very creative you take ordinary foods and turn them into amazingly delicious dishes .
I think you forget that her style of cooking is just rustic no fuss no muss type. Its really just mean to be a quick and ready to be made for either guests or just for lounging, Where have you been all this time?
@@dannysimion where have I been? Living my life!! And what are you even saying? Her cooking style can be rustic and cosmopolitan at the same time. Those two qualities are not mutually exclusive. She borrows influences from cuisines.... and I happen to adore that about her....
I am Indian and the amount of fenugreek seeds that was put in is too much for the potatoes! They will be bites of bitterness . Instead use a pinch or two of fenugreek powder to get the same umami flavors
okay I love this woman but no salt in anything?? how is that edible?? I can't get over how gross and weird those potatoes would be with no seasoning and un-bloomed spices
