I spent the day eating like Nigella Lawson – and lived to tell the tale

Everybody loves Nigella Lawson. And Nigella? Well, she loves Australia, and has long been a frequent visitor. She has previously said she feels “gorgeously at home” here and dreams of spending three months a year down under. (She has been here since the beginning of May, so perhaps she’s making the dream a reality.)

As you’d expect, while she’s in Sydney, Nigella’s eating schedule is studded with the city’s greatest hits – Sean’s Bondi, Fratelli Paradiso, Bourke Street Bakery – as well as buzzy favourites including Porkfat, Cafe Paci and Ragazzi. It’s inner city-heavy, yes, but that’s hardly surprising for a culinary celebrity staying in Potts Point.
