A Lively Chat with Nigella Lawson, my Kitchen Cousin

Big news for one of television's most popular reality TV shows! Dame Prue Leith is leaving The Great British Bake Off and will be replaced by celebrity cooking icon, Nigella Lawson. Nigella will almost certainly attract her legion of followers to the Bake Off audience, on account of her warm likeability and earnest passion for eating good food. I had the very good fortune of interviewing Nigella in 2015, and we quickly recognized each other as kindred souls, or "kitchen cousins." She was an absolute delight! You can listen to my chat with Nigella here: If you're on Instagram, here's a link to a clip of Nigella talking about how she feels excited and "a teeny bit frightened" about joining The Great British Bake Off.
