    This is the Nigella I remember from about 15 years ago. I had just retired in 2006 and I'd been divorced for several years and ate mostly pizza and other fast foods. So my sister saw my weight starting to increase and introduced me to the Food Network and several great cooking shows. At first, I wasn't sold on cooking for myself but I enjoyed the entertaining shows with their colorful hosts. Bobby Flay, Alton Brown's Good Eats, Giada De Laurentiis, Iron Chef America, and even Guy Fieri were helpful in showing me how to cook simple foods, and soon I was doing all kinds of fancy dishes. Then I saw the beautiful and articulate Nigella Lawson and I literally fell in love with her and cooking. I think she helped me the most. It's great to see her legacy being preserved on YT!
