Who the rest of the modern Brit cooking gang are, other than Nigel Slater, I have no idea. I find Nigel Slater's writing a bit precious. <br /><br />I'm looking at my bookshelves from across the room and mainly what I see in the cook book section are Nigella, Nigel Slater, Elizabeth David and Rick Stein.Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652670896513329236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785207417164829425.post-70618908224377606002009-12-13T06:49:22.162-05:002009-12-13T06:49:22.162-05:00Well Nigella certainly gets around doesn't she...Well Nigella certainly gets around doesn't she. Somehow though I don't think you will be cueing to spend some extra special time with 'Jamie' and the rest of the British cooking gang, not all our British exports are witty, debonair, or even educated.John Hopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495250254811460833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785207417164829425.post-6804311175771605542009-12-11T11:27:41.767-05:002009-12-11T11:27:41.767-05:00I agree about the "slebs" - who needs th...I agree about the "slebs" - who needs them? Vacuous Nigella is not - she's intelligent, self-deprecating and amusing with it. Many celebs can be self-deprecating, or wish to appear to be, but Nigella actually is, I feel. Anyway, it was a good event and followed by our own "block party." The evening ended with a tipsy and raucous round-table discussion with friends and neighbours - about what I have no memory, but a lot of laughter ensued.Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652670896513329236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785207417164829425.post-71021977973368255542009-12-11T02:41:27.881-05:002009-12-11T02:41:27.881-05:00Clearly you did (enjoy it), and weren't (late)...Clearly you did (enjoy it), and weren't (late). It's so refreshing to listen to someone intelligent, instead of the usual vacuous twaddle that spews forth from the so-called "slebs" of today.columnisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03764365428633038329noreply@blogger.com
