OPINION:
There are few certainties in life: Death, taxes and that Nigella Lawson cooking shows are likely to be pretty good.
Even if you’re not into her pseudo-sexual presentation style, there’s no doubt Nigella knows her way around a kitchen and can explain in simple terms what you need to do to turn out some very good meals.
But with her latest small-screen effort, it’s looking like we’re back to death and taxes as the only sure bets.
The Taste, based on a very successful American reality series, puts Nigella in the hot seat as the star judge (alongside Anthony Bourdain and Ludo Lebreve) of a reality/cooking/game show where cooks try to prove they’re the best in the land through a series of challenges, the first of which is a blind tasting of a single spoonful of food.
The wannabes can be either professional or amateur chefs, can cook sweets, mains, whatever they like, it just has to impress from that first bite.
That’s exciting! That’s new! That’s
