I am not a chef. I am not even a trained or professional cook. My qualification is as an eater.
That's Nigella Lawson's philosophy, and, frankly, one I subscribe to myself, towards cooking, which is why I look forward to her new column on alternating Wednesdays in the Times Dining section - her stuff seems easy (though messy - I made the coq au vin) to make. Seeing today's column made me pause. Nigella is making crepes, but the camera's focus seems to be on her breasts. Substantial breasts, one might add. I knew she was this sexy food diva icon in Britain, but I thought it was just because of her flirty banter and sensuous baiting. She usually looks more buttoned-up, so this photograph seemed like Howell Raines wanted to get a little T&A action in the Dining section. Hey, if you've got it, flaunt it.
