Nigella Lawson is a food goddess

Seriously. What more can I say about this woman? I have all of her cookbooks and just staring at the pictures of these great recipes makes my mouth water. And yes, some of the recipes are really fattening, but who cares? If you can't enjoy food, what's the point of having it around? Besides, I'd rather have a little more meat on my bones and love food, than be anorexic and fear the sight of anything that tastes oh, so good. But hey, that's just me. Right now I'm making something from her cookbook, "Nigella Bites", Linguine with garlic oil and pancetta (which, by the way, is the best form of bacon ever made, possibly because I've spent the last 4 years in Italy). It takes all of 20 minutes to make and it's almost as yummy as homemade Carbonara. It's pasta heaven on a fork. My 5-year-old loves it, and she's one of the pickiest pasta eaters I know. Her pasta requests only come in the form of "macaroni" and "spaghetti with no meat". Oh, here's the book the recipe's in:


You should go out and buy it. Did I mention there's this delicious Chocolate Fudge Cake recipe?
