Nigella Lawson’s own family

In 1986, Nigella married the journalist John Diamond. The two met when they both worked for the Times of London, and were, by all accounts, a very happy couple. They were together until Diamond’s untimely death, from throat cancer, in 2001. Diamond’s last words were spoken about his beloved wife. “How proud I am of you and what you have become,” he told her. The couple had two children: a daughter, Cosima, and a son, Bruno.

Several years later, the widowed Nigella fell in love with Charles Saatchi, a wealthy international art dealer. That marriage involved a lot of turmoil. Nigella accused Saatchi of emotionally abusing her; she said that he was controlling and that he subjected her to “intimate terrorism.” The couple eventually got divorced.

Nigella Lawson’s goals and inspiration

Nigella’s ultimate goal, she says, is to show her fans that “real cooking” doesn’t have to be difficult. It should be fun, easy, and enjoyable. Nigella told the Guardian that she was inspired to write her first book after she went to a disastrous dinner party, where she felt sorry for the exhausted host. She explained,

“I had gone to a dinner party where the host spent the time rushing back to the stove and then could be heard sobbing loudly. I think that too many people feel that they must strain to produce restaurant food in a domestic kitchen, and I wanted to counter that.” https://www.unileverfoodsolutions.ca/en/chef-inspiration/back-of-house/nigella-lawson.html
