These books, her TV series and her Quick Collection apps, have made her a household name around the world. In 2014 she was voted Best Food Personality at the Observer Food Monthly Awards.@Nigella_Lawson'Her prose is as nourishing as her recipes' - Salman Rushdie, Observer'Miss Lawson is the Thinking Person's Cook.
