Guest Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 enjoyed the prog...good mix of interesting recipes and snippets of trivia Plus, any tall girl who is married to a gorgeous shorter man is alright in my book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I enjoyed it! She's a lovely girl isn't she? Nice little ancdotes and some yummy recipes - must try that fudgy one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 she is lovely, I've taken to her I was surprised to learn her paternal grandad was Alfred P Dolittle!!! She comes from quite a prestigious background considering who her maternal grandfather was as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I have always liked her - and she makes for an interesting,genial & gorgeous host. I look forward to the rest of the series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Did you see her on the one show earlier this evening? They showed an old clip of her appearing with Grandad Roahl when she was about 6 or 7. Pudding basin haircut and huge glasses - an unfortunate look at the best of times (she admitted herself) - what a difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I enjoyed it too. Cheeky and fun. Must try the peanut butter fudge recipe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I thought this might get on my nerves and I was too busy last night anyway, but given the above comments might give it a go on iplayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I avoided it too as thought she would annoy me but seems I am wrong so will have to catch up on ipayer or somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I didn't see it and the review in the paper wasn't very positive. I would imagine that you would feel quite conscious of other cooking celebrities watching especially if you've been referred to as the new nigella. I expect her confidence and character will grow. It sounds like a happy programme, to quote ' a flowery, girlie concoction of shopping and grandmothers' recipes.' I think that sounds nice, I shall watch it next week and I expect so will husband and sons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Heard on the radio this morning that the kitchen she was cooking in was rented, just in case you wanted to know that! Also mentioned that Nigella's kitchen was a replica of her own but built on a film set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She really didn't like her did she The house was beautiful. Not quite sure why it's on the market as they seem to be making quite a bit of money from it for photo shoots etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I saw that article in the Mail too, what drew me to it was that it was a stock photo that I'd clipped myself last year when I was gathering images for my planned new kitchen. I'm not shocked as I understand that they all usually use 'model' kitchens. I hadn't seen the TV programme, but recognised the photo immediately.

Guest Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Is James Wong's kitchen a studio set up too? I really like his house/kitchen but it's probably not his either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 isn't Jan Moir just a poisonous old bag anyway? Didn't she do something horrible about Stephen gately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 She did - it was totally unforgivable I suspect she is one of those journos who is always trying to push for the most vile thing they can possibly say on a subject, to see how far they can go. Nasty piece of work,if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam42 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Hi James Wong's place is also rented! He says he shares a house and his kitchen is nothing like the one on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 In fairness-eg the kitchen set up, it's reasonable to have show kitchens which aren't in their real houses, as I suspect camera crew wouldn't be able to fit in very well and if you lived in the area you could work out where these people lived.

Guest Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 it's just that you think you're getting a little glimpse of their lifestyle and their taste in furnishings etc and it's a bit disappointing to find it's all a sham Still, I'll get over it! I'm going to the Axminster RC canteen in June and might have a peep at the real RC while we're there, at least we know Hugh's kitchen is his real house!
