I don't wear anything in bed. But I'm not ready for a nude scene quite yet. - Nigella Lawson

[O]besity isn’t caused by those who adore food. People tend not to put on weight through eating meals. I’d say it’s people who eat non-stop.

[Asked if cookery writing is a form of intimacy] I think there both is and isn't. I feel that writing about food allows one to be utterly honest, and personal, and in no way guarded. But, in some sense, it's a metaphor for the personal, rather than being actually personal. It's not revelatory, I would say. It's personal without being confessional. That's the kind of personal that I feel more comfortable with.

Everybody likes to think cooks are nurturing, but maybe we're just controlling – controlling what people eat.
