Nigella Lawson’s Kitchen Gift Guide
Every time a new Nigella series hits the TV, I find myself falling in love with her all over again. As someone who adores being in the kitchen and has no formal training, I love Nigella’s ‘home cook’ attitude and the pleasure she takes in feeding others and more importantly feeding herself.
Not only do I fall in love with Nigella, but I also fall in love with the beautiful kitchen set she uses for the show. I always find myself making a kitchen wish list of things I’d love to have in my kitchen and this year is no exception. So here’s my Cook, Eat Repeat inspired gift guide for foodies everywhere.
Only Nigella could do a whole segment about salt on toast (that’s why we lover her, right?) so this gift is for all the salt overs out there. Forget a grinder of Himalayan salt, this is the way to do it in 2021.

The gorgeous pink glasses that Nigella uses to serve up her cherries jubilee are probably vintage, but these wine tumblers are a good replacement and would add a vibrant burst of colour to any dining table.

In our house, when a new Nigella book is released you can guarantee that there will be at least three of them under the tree wrapped up waiting to be gifted to eachother. It’s happened so many times, it’s become a running family joke and I can’t wait to receive this from my mother this year.

Every series, a classic Kitchen Aid takes centre stage, and while this series it might be pink, the copper one will forever stay in my heart as the most beautiful mixer of all. This really is what kitchen dreams are made of.

Who else didn’t realised they were desperate for a glass saucepan until they saw Nigella cook spaghetti in hers? Sadly this won’t work on my induction hob so it will have to stay on my wish list for a while longer.

Nigella often creates food trends (remember the great salted caramel boom) and I think gochujang will be no exception. It’s extremely versatile, not to mention wildly delicious so once you try it, it’s pretty hard to add a little to most dishes.
