If we could bottle what Nigella Lawson is, what would the ingredients be? Confidence, contacts, the love of good men and a background of wealth and privilege have made this once-shy scribe a well-respected cookery writer and a popular celebrity around the world.
But behind her fortune and fans lies a dramatic story of family grief that should be almost impossible for one person to bear. Her mother died suddenly of liver cancer when Nigella was just twenty-five, her younger sister Thomasina died of breast cancer when Nigella was nine-months pregnant with her first child, and her second was six months old when her beloved husband, journalist John Diamond, was diagnosed with throat cancer.
Yet the bestselling author of five cookery books, TV presenter, designer-kitchenware tycoon and mother of two small children has become an inspiring icon of how to live life to the full. Men and women alike find her infectious, unashamed passion for food and her voluptuous curves hard to resist.
Gilly Smith interviews her friends and colleagues in her search for the rich mix of ingredients that has made Nigella such a successful and beguiling creature, and offers us an intriguing portrait of this irrepressible star.
