Nigella Lucy Lawson was born January 6, 1960, the daughter of famous father Nigel Lawson, the second most powerful person in politics while serving as Margaret Thatcher's Chancellor of the Exchequer.
A studious woman with a great way with words, Nigella attended Oxford University in 1979, earning a degree in Medieval and Modern Languages. She pursued a career in journalism, and got her start as the restaurant reviewer for the The Spectator. This eventually led to her position as deputy literary editor of the Sunday Times, and as a freelance writer for publications like The Guardian and Daily Telegraph in the UK and Bon Appetit in the US. It wasn't until she received a position with Vogue magazine that she rose to prominence.
In 1998, after having cemented herself as a food editor for British Vogue, Lawson published her first book, How to Eat: The Pleasures and Principles of Good Food. This transformed Lawson into a refreshing face with something extraordinary to offer in the culinary world. Channel 4 in England jumped at the chance to create a new cooking show with a unique host and signed Lawson to create Nigella Bites, which was based on her first book. She adopted a great motto that is applied to her culinary career: "To achieve maximum pleasure through minimum effort." (Gotta love it...)
During the second series of Nigella Bites, Lawson, already loved by many, released a book as a tie-in to the show. Nigella Bites remained on the best-seller's list for what seemed like forever and, along with How to Eat, boosted her over the 1.5 million units sold mark. Her appeal lay in the fact that she was teaching a new approach to cooking for the millennium: relaxed and full of passion. |
