When the door opens
and
you walk into Nigella Lawson's London home,
the aroma of brisket bubbling away in the oven
wraps you like a big warm welcoming hug.
Weekday demands instantly disappear, and the
weekend begins slow and unstructured, Nigella
style: The cookbook author has invited friends
over to hang out, eat, play games, eat, watch
movies, and eat a little more, While she preps
the rest of the menu, she makes quesadillas to
order and sets out a plate of sweet and spicy
sausages that remind her of her English girl-
hood, “ It's very important to enjoy the cooking
and not turn it into drudgery/'

Nigella relishes standing by the
stove, grilling and handing out
quesadillas stuffed with avocado
and oozing cheese* Ginger
conserve brings a bit of heat to
the sausages, served with olives
and cornichons, On her kitchen
shelves, there are collections she
has taken great care in choosing
to create a warm haven: a
pottery heart, tumblers,
measuring jugs, and antique
kitchenware*
