In Conversation with Nigella

Have you always wanted to find yourself within the same walls as home cooking goddess Nigella Lawson? Then mark November 14 in big letters in your calendar.

That’s when she will be a guest at The School of Life, an organisation that gives you a fun way to think about topics you never learned about at school: what makes a good friend? How do you have a good argument? The most important things in your everyday life. And if you’re anything like us, food comes first in that regard.

Crispy chicken

If anyone understands the role food plays in our lives, it’s Nigella. Her recipes are made for daily life. Whether it’s crispy chicken you make quickly after work, or an indulgent chocolate cake with lots of frosting for a lazy Sunday. Her latest cookbook At My Table contains more than enough everyday recipes, while also highlighting the stories and memories surrounding food. As Nigella herself says: “a table is more than a piece of furniture, just as food is more than fuel.”

In conversation

During this evening at Amsterdam’s DeLaMar Theater, the sultry TV star will talk to restaurant critic Hiske Versprille and psychiatrist and philosopher Damiaan Denys. About memories, friendship, creativity and, of course, food. She shows how valuable food can be, and that’s something we can only wholeheartedly agree with.
