I have her book but can't say I enjoy watching her, yes, she has lost lots of weight and looks gorgeous but her little ways irritate me lol......does she you?

I will try to find the pea and chicken recipe, must have a look at the picture!!

it doesn't look very appetitising, like sand islands in a choppy green sea, or some kind of creatures stranded in a green field
(is she running out of ideas?)

There are a lot of peas there Jalima! That should give you your 5 a day for a week!

I absolutely love peas and could quite happily eat them every day. One of my guilty secrets is that I eat frozen peas straight from the packet and let them defrost in my mouth . shock

You'd love this recipe then, gilly. We had pea soup yesterday. grin

I might try the carrot cake that was featured last night with GF flour. It didn't look too sickly sweet.

gillybob Tue 14-Nov-17 12:13:55

Any idea where I might find that recipe merlot ?

I absolutely love Pea soup ( with a touch of mint ) yummy !

You can find episode 1 on BBC iPlayer, gilly but I warn you the peas do have a rather overcooked taste and texture. grin

Here's recipe. I rather liked it....

Merlotgran, the carrot cake caught my eye too. I like that it's a single layer of both cake and icing. Well, my hips do!

Jalima1108 Tue 14-Nov-17 16:29:14

I like frozen peas too gillybob ( not a whole helping at once, just a few from the packet when I'm cooking some!)

Met Nigella at a book signing a couple of years ago here in Tasmania.

She is tiny with a complexion like porcelain.

I thanked her for the pleasure her programmes had given me over the years and was not expecting her to say anything much in reply, but to my surprise she looked up at me and said "what a lovely thing to say"

I will always remember this and still watch repeats of her shows. I think she is lovely and she is very intelligent as well.
