Nigella Lawson is the daughter of former Conservative cabinet minister Nigel Lawson and the late Vanessa Salmon, socialite and heir to the Lyons Corner House empire, who died of liver cancer in 1985.

Lawson graduated from Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, with a degree in Medieval and Modern Languages.

Authur, Columnist & Broadcaster

Nigella has written a restaurant column for the Spectator and a comment column for The Observer and has been deputy literary editor of the Sunday Times. Additionally she has among other things been a newspaper-reviewer on BBC1 Sunday-morning TV programme Breakfast with Frost. She has also co-hosted, with David Aaronovitch, Channel 4 books discussion programme Booked and was an occasional compere of BBC2's press review What the Papers Say, as well as appearing on BBC radio.

Celebrity Chef

Following slots as a culinary sidekick on Nigel Slater's Real Food Show on Channel 4, she has fronted three eponymous TV cookery series broadcast in the UK. She has had two series of Nigella Bites in 1999-2001, plus a 2001 Christmas special, and Forever Summer with Nigella in 2002, both of which yielded accompanying recipe books.

In late 2006, Nigella did a show on BBC Two called Nigella's Christmas Kitchen. Two of the episodes secured the second highest ratings for BBC Two, with the third episode becoming the top show on the week that it was aired. This series led to the commissioning of Nigella Express on BBC Two in 2007.
