Stuff the turkey

FESTIVE! Nigella's Christmas Kitchen, BBC2, 8.00pm

This is going to make us sound gayer than ever, but as far as we're concerned it's been far too long since Nigella was on our screens, telling us how to cook and look dazzlingly voluptuous at the same time. We'll forgive her abomination of a chatshow, especially since now she's back where she belongs. Er, not that LOWCULTURE believes a woman's place is in the kitchen or anything, because we're fully paid-up card-carrying feminists. Honest. We just think Nigella belongs in the kitchen because she's naturally skilled at cooking. Should we move on before we dig ourselves a bigger hole? Excellent.

Festive cooking is always a nightmare, obviously (we always just sit in the living room watching EastEnders and let our mum do it, but even that way we can tell it's bloody stressful), so this would be Nigella's guide to the art of making Christmas effortless. That is, assuming you want to attempt to copy her and you're not watching, as we often do, purely for the gratuitous food porn. Mmmm. Food porn.

This week we're being let in on the secret of how to make a perfect last-minute Christmas cake. Presumably the answer is not "buy it in Sainsbury's". We await with baited breath, as ever.

Aw, I wish the answer was "buy it in Sainsbury's", then she could spend the rest of the episode writhing around in a pancake or something - wouldn't that be ace!?!

Err...

Hurrah for lowculture for highlighting food porn. Digitalspy says this programme has Nigella "rustling up Christmas grub".

It's far more classy than that. The whole show was sheer joy to watch.

About Us

According to Marxist theory, cultural forms such as opera, classical music and the literary works of Shakespeare all fall under the heading of high culture. Low culture refers to a wide variety of cultural themes that are characterised by their consumption by the masses. We might not be Marxists, but we do know we loved Footballers Wives. If you do too, you'll know what this is all about.
