Nigella Lawson is a proud gourmande

*** Beauty Match in London (U.K.)***

I’ve always loved Nigella Lawson because she was the anti Martha Stewart in her causal way of preparing her meals on her weekly cooking show. Nigella puts the emphasis on the enjoyment of food rather than having everything cut the same exact size.

I remember Nigella mentioning in an interview that she was quite worried about a trip to America to promote a new book because in her mind everyone would be super buff, slim and trim and she would stand out with her more curvaceous body. There no doubt that Nigella must have been referring to the Hollywood size zero body, since the average female American is a size 14-16 (the average female Canadian is a size 12 and the average female British is a size 16 (UK) — which is equivalent to a size 12 in North America).

Nigella, the ‘Domestic Goddess’, has very clear views about her body, as reported in UK’s Daily Mail: “I’m very glad that I don’t have that skinny straight-up-and-down shape, that I’m this Edwardian throwback with a very small waist and ankles and wrists, and the rest – billowing.”

It’s a far cry from the new trend of the super-skinny celebs pictures that cover every gossip magazine on the newsstands.

Nigella Lawson (born in 1960 in London) is a true gourmande and very proud of it. She makes no excuses for loving and eating good food.

Nigella Lawson is my Celebrity Beauty Match Pick because she loves her curvy body just the way it is and because her husband, Charles Saatchi, publicly refers to her as sexier than Marilyn Monroe! Now that’s aging well!
