Nigella Lawson Is Coming Back to TV Screens With a Brand New Show

Nigella Lawson returns to TV screens with Nigella’s Cook, Eat, Repeat

One of Britain’s most cherished cookbook authors and food personalities will return to TV screens later this year with a brand new BBC Two show, Nigella’s Cook, Eat, Repeat, the same title as her newest cookbook, which launches next month. Lawson announced on Twitter this morning that the six-part series will get “to the heart of how food is woven into our everyday lives and the connection it provides.”

According to the BBC, “Nigella will share the rhythms and rituals of her kitchen through a multitude of delicious new recipes that make the most of her favourite ingredients.” Recipes promised to feature include chocolate peanut butter cake, crab mac’n’cheese, and “the life-affirming, fear-free” fish stew. Lawson will spend time explaining where she finds inspiration for her recipes, leafing through a collection of vintage cookbooks, and since it’s 2020, how she exchanges ideas on social media. “More than just a mantra, cook, eat, repeat is the story of my life,” Lawson said.

In addition to the six episodes, a much-anticipated “Christmas Special” will see Lawson “indulge in a little tourism around her Christmas table with food from near and far to warm up the winter evenings and add sparkle to the seasonal special.” [BBC]
