You read that right. Nigella Lawson in India. One of the most loved celebrity chefs is finally coming to India, and we can’t wait. The ‘Domestic Goddess’, who has hosted five cooking shows on television, authored 12 culinary books, and has the world enraptured with her ‘eating updates’ on Instagram, is setting foot in the country this month. And that’s not all – you can even try her cooking first hand, as Lawson will be hosting two dinners during her stay here, one each in Mumbai and Delhi.
Arriving as a part of ‘The World Series’ by American Express, Lawson will be at The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai on September 14 and The Roseate, Delhi on September 15. Despite being the world’s most famous home cook, Lawson doesn’t run any restaurant of her own, making this experience even more special — as it is one of the rare times you get to taste her creations. One to always enthuse her recipes and cooking with a personal touch, her cookbooks have always narrated a sort of story for the recipes, rather than the usual dry, listing-only approach. Lawson has always approached and presented her cooking as an art, be it the written word or the popular TV shows, and it’s going to be nothing less than enthralling to see what she whips up when in India.
