Simply Nigella, BBC2 - TV review: Unnecessary eyebrow raising and lid-lowering

Her chia seed, flax seed and goji berry breakfast bars looked like something you'd fish out of a Waitrose dustbin

Nigella Lawson on Simply Nigella (BBC)

At Nigella Lawson's house, the sumptuous TV chef talked us through her favourite recipes for family and friends in the latest instalment of Simply Nigella.

Her pork buns (and I really do mean buns this time) – smothered in homemade chilli sauce and crispy fried shallots – looked divine in spite of all the unnecessary eyebrow raising and lid-lowering. And according to the chef herself, her vegan chocolate cake “might just be one of the best chocolate cakes you have ever eaten”.

I'd suggest skipping breakfast though. Her chia seed, flax seed and goji berry breakfast bars – held together by medjool dates – looked like something you'd fish out of a Waitrose dustbin. Only this time, you'd put them straight back.
