If you’ve been reading Stepmother’s Milk for any length of time, you’ve heard me swoon, more than once or twice, with sweet delight over food writer Nigella Lawson’s fanciful feasts. Not only does she prepare extraordinary food, but she EATS IT and looks super sexy doing so. So, you can imagine how delighted I was when I discovered that she, too, is a stepmom.
Yes! Ms. Sultry Saucy Lawson is one of us. If she can’t UP the hip factor on this gig, I don’t know who can.
She was on NPR’s Morning Edition this week flirting with Steve Inskeep and sharing several recipes she’s used over the years with her own children to introduce them to the joy of cooking, including Soft White Dinner Rolls (a big time favorite of The Young One’s) and Cheesy Feet (think biscuits that leave footprints).
My all-time favorite recipe of hers is Chocolate Gingerbread Cupcakes because, one: they’re superbly sinful and, two: Nigella describes them as “very rich, very strong” and “not for children, but perfect for the rest of us.”
Bon Appetit!
