I go back a long way. As a child we didn't have a television, although we did know someone who knew someone who had one. They offered to let me watch the Coronation but my mother was a proud woman and said that we'd arranged to have friends round for the day. In fact I was sent out to play in the back garden with strict instructions that I was not to make any noise or let anyone see me. My memory of the day is of acute boredom.

Too much of this book is based on Nigella's personality and I've got to be honest and admit that she annoys the hell out of me. There's too much reliance on overt sexuality at the expense of depth of content for my taste and at £20 the cover price is a rip-off. Borrow it if you must, but don't waste money on it.
