She’s Sophia Loren in a Chamber maids apron preparing good food while tasting everything.

LOL! I can see you are a mite smitten. And the reasons you watch the show are not the ones I would. I won't even ask about the recipes.....you probably haven't noticed that there are any ;)

Oh there are recipes ... and she wields knives with aplumb. One of my favorite episodes of Nigella Bites was on salads, especially salads that children will eat ... she has--I think--two boys or a boy and a girl.

I do have a strange brain, though. I have this odd ability to hear the voice of someone I've listened to when reading soemthing they've written. So many voices, so few hours in the day. ;^)

Cooking is one of my current hobbies. I'm experimenting with a special creation of mine for icebox pies, using Instant puddings and flavored yogurts instead of milk ... makes a much thicker pudding, pie standards thick even. I'm making a Rasberry one tonight, to eat in two days (best flavoring after a day in the fridge beacuse the twang of the yogurt is gone by then).

I would cut a piece of one of these pies for Nigella, if I had the chance of course.
