    I *really* liked her for years, then I noticed she put on a load of weight, yet kept encouraging people to eat ALL the butter, sugar, etc in the world on her show, then all of a sudden she's slim again, and yep I heard she had a gastric band fitted. And she annoys the life out of me on her programme, with her fake "Oh my friend was dumped and happened to pop by for comfort food, and here are all my other friends popping around for unexpected supper on the patio!" Yeah right Nigella! :pac:

    You're annoying no one. It's just not right to get upset so much. You need to grow a pair and tell them to feck off :)

    I tried that and I was told I couldn't take a joke. Ah I do need to toughen up, I let people get to me too easily and they know so they keep at it.

    Wow I just looked up about that, never knew. Am I the only one who finds the idea of a chef getting a gastric band a bit odd?

    Mam just rang and said "haha I'd say you're like a bull after me giving you the egg. Look under the pillow in your spare room". She stuck €50 for me to go for a drink at the weekend. BEST MAM EVER! :D

    I just hate that she perpetuates this "Go on, treat yourself" approach while struggling with her own weight. Like the Hairy Bikers, incredibly overweight men telling you to make really buttery, cheesy, calorific foods!

    Nigella loves her food too much to get a gastric band, she eats konjac noodles anyway and I think is making them popular.



    And butter is healthy!

    I was very like you Jane when I lived at home. My parents did my head in and were always at me to go back to college/get a better job/do x y and z. Did my head in, as soon as I started making enough money I was out of there, even if it meant I was living on a shoestring budget. And with the distance between us we get on a hell of a lot better
    However bad things are, they'll get better in time x

    You know what I mean, recipes FULL of things that shouldn't be eaten in large amounts, I just said butter because I remember one cookie recipe she did that was about a month's worth of butter, sugar and chocolate in one cookie, but she's like "Oh they're so good at 2am, sneak down and have one".

    I get what you're saying. It's kind of nice though to watch her show sometimes because so many of the others are all about the healthy versions of stuff. There's ones that tell you to use the likes of cooking spray and Flora(!) instead of actual butter. I can't take those people seriously.

    edit - mind you, there was one episode where Nigella made honeycomb for someone and supposedly ate the whole thing in the taxi on the way there. That kind of sh*te is so contrived and annoys me. But some of her stuff is lush!

    No better way to feel like an awesome superhero while washing the dishes. <protip>You have to be careful not to get too vigorous scrubbing the pots though or you'll end up soaked. </protip>

    ah, thats ok then, I only really use butter/spread on toast, and even then its only a small bit, turns my stomach when theres big thick lumps of it on sandwiches, shudder. its one of the few things I dont like with food. last week I got a sausage sandwich in a deli, told her about 4 times NO BUTTER, just a bit of ketchup, she fcuking drowned the bread in butter, was actually soaking through it when I unwrapped it, vile! I think she thought I was saying MOAR BUTTER.

    I really like Rachel Allen, never thought her accent was irritating.

    My first proper cookbook was by Rachel Allen (I was 9) and it was really easy to follow and everything I made would work first time. She's explains all the basics really well.

    I'm going to make the lemon cake she made on the show tonight for my mum (she *loves* anything with lemon in it). Those scones looked really nice too.

    Butter, in moderation! you must be mad!

    The stupid lipid hypothesis just accepted without any proper evidence showing it was true and everyone just excepted it and now we can see lots of evidence to see it's not true but places that support it are having trouble admitting they are wrong and are all tricking people into eating shíte like flora. You'll notice that no where on any flora product it will say that it will reduce your rick of heart disease.

    No, butter and fat is far better for your cholesterol and if you do have high cholesterol well then you'd be better off finding out what is wrong with your body that you do have high cholesterol and look at all the numbers in your lipid profile. I should add that cholesterol is what heals your body so you could be reducing the bodies abilities to heal itself
