What? TV cook Nigella is losing her appetite?
HER dining table has creaked under the weight of one bountiful dish or other on numerous at-home style cooking shows over the years.
Yet, in reality, Nigella Lawson is struggling with what she describes as the ‘hardship’ of her own shrinking appetite for food.
At the age of 61, Nigella told an audience of fans gathered for her one-woman stage show to promote her new book in Bath that she simply cannot put away half as much as she used to.
When asked by an audience member what her ‘Death Row meal’ would be, she looked a little crestfallen as she replied: ‘I have to be a bit fanciful or hopeful with this one because I actually can’t eat as much at night as I used to. It’s a hardship, but there it is.’
She further qualified what she clearly felt was a challenging new annoyance, saying: ‘I am going to pretend I could have one meal that is as much as I could eat half a lifetime ago.’
