Comments on: About http://www.notquitenigella.com/2007/07/15/about/ The slightly eccentric eating and cooking adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

I've only had Phillipino food once and it was great but I have heard similar things. But your meal sounds fantastic! Hmmm it's hard to say, I am a real hard-ass when it comes to cupcakes and haven't been overwhelmingly impressed. I think that there are a lot of places that make cupcakes but they fall short. I'm still looking for the "to die for" cupcake place myself too! Hi Linda-Thanks for your kind words :)

(although I think I would give the offal a miss!) Interestingly, have just been to the Philippines and despite being told that it would be a culinary wasteland (fatty, poor-quality food big on pork, rice and not much else), experienced some fantastic meals there, especially a wonderful Italian seafood broth and yummy Valrhona chocolate tart at a restaurant in Manila called Sala. Of course, there's lots of fatty rubbish around as well, but all up I had some really nice stuff! My sister lives in Sydney, and we loooove sweet stuff, but have not been able to find a great cupcake, despite them being seemingly everywhere. Where do you recommend? Hello,

Although he never complains when he's enjoying the results! Great site :O) I’m so glad I discovered your site - I base holiday itineraries on places to eat and foods to try and my boyfriend thinks I have a real Nigella dependency as I’ve started to begin my sentences with, “Nigella says…” Although he never complains when he’s enjoying the results!

I look forward to trawling through it for many more hours. As for my last meal, I think it would be a a simple one. Starter of camembert on crusty bread, followed by a good wagyu steak, the creamiest mash, finished with raspberry creme brulee. All complemented with a Brown Brothers Muscat.

I too understood her pain at wanting to perfect the Apple Pie! The hallmark of a true Desperate Housewife I think! Very good idea! I like that. Should I ever be on Death Row (haha hopefully never) I'll definitely request that :lol: Hi Helen-Sorry I just wanted to explain why I hadn’t been able to leave a message!

I must do something about my hopeless blog. I agree Bree is the best - I sooo understand her wanting to find the perfect Lemon Meringue recipe! I have noticed you like to know what everyone's last meal would be...not sure but I would def have dessert (cake) first just in case my time ran out before I had chance to eat it! Hx Hi Lorraine,

The whole back half is for people who get a seat on the day so if you go to the stand early you should be able to get a ticket to see him :) Hi Sarah-No problems, some people have thought I am Nigella :lol:
