I quite like Nigella Lawson, but my god, she is twee.
Here are the cringe-making phrases she used in tonights' programme.
"Tumble the potatoes into the tin"
"Luxuriantly scattered seafood"
"A glossy dribble of olive oil"
"I love the way the bubbles twinkle up"
"A hint of inner thigh wibble"
"A glistening sprinkle of salt"

Everyone else probably thinks these phrases are adorable and sweet.
I DO NOT.
 
I am not a fan but she has one saving grace, she doent lie over the food when she is drizzling somethin over it , as most of the male chefs do .They seem to bend over and almost lie on it to do it .
And she doesnt pile the food in one high tower as seems to be the latest fad .
 
Just been reminded of a Jamie Oliver line. He was making a dip and said to use Sour Cream with a "Gesture of Lemon" :D

and with Novelli it was his over use of the word "introduce".
Introduce your vegetables into the pan


I think one of the lines used in Posh Nosh was "...next, adgitate your vegetables" :D
and here's a few more from Posh Nosh
Minty: ...Introduce your fish to your vegetable chips and marry them on a duvet of rice paper.
Minty: We use free-range, organic, home-schooled chicken.
Minty: Next week on Posh Nosh, we'll be taunting an aubergine.
Minty: Leak a little Madagascan vanilla essence. It is easily available in all good food shops in Madagascar.
