The Great British Bake Off is back and there’s a new judge in the tent: the one and only Nigella Lawson. Her debut is already being hailed by critics as a success, but is it any surprise when so much of her brand thrives on many of the same things that make people love Bake Off?
Lawson has always centred pleasure and amateurishness in her cooking – mistakes are always welcome and nothing should ever be taken too seriously. Her humour is playful and warm, always suggestive but never fully blue. The aesthetics of her culinary world are inviting and homely in a very British way.
