The Pleasures Of Food Are So Great

Nigella Lawson is a latter-day Ma Larkin and speaks with the same honest relish about what she calls the “joy” emanating from her kitchen, the delicious aromas, the feel of food in her hands and pleasure of sitting down to a home-cooked roast with all the trimmings.
She’s a throwback to those days when cakes were home made not shop-bought, milk was full fat and cookies were called biscuits, which came out of the oven not a cellophane wrap.
She says: “The pressures of food are so great that I really do believe that those who don’t allow themselves to wallow in them have a lesser life”.
“I don’t believe in indiscriminate gluttony. It’s all about savouring food without shame and not thinking that less flesh – either on your plate or your skeleton – is better”.
