While I am sure there are a number of women who secretly wonder whether they are lesbian, most simply have, somewhere, a fantasy about having sex, in a non-defining, non-exclusive way, with other women.

More quotes by Nigella Lawson

The trouble with modern cooking is that the mood it induces in the cook is one of skin-of-the-teeth efficiency, all briskness and little pleasure.

How to be a Domestic Goddess (2000)

I wasn't good with authority, went to lots of schools, didn't like the fact that there was no autonomy.

I always wanted to be called Caroline [...] Carolines were always very nice in books.

Some people did take the domestic goddess title literally rather than ironically. It was about the pleasures of feeling like one rather than actually being one.

A woman of extremes (2001)

I lurch from chaos to chaos. I can’t find my driving licence and my clothes are everywhere – cooking is the neatest thing I do.
