...likes to eat. That's my niche." Lawson eschews things like measurements and specific ingredients (Forever Summer's grilled sea bass recipe begins, "You don't need to grill sea bass for this. Similarly, you don't need to use sea bass") in favor of an endorphin-fueled dive into food prep. Her cooking show, Nigella Bites, is often called gastro porn in her native England, while in the U.S. its host is frequently referred to as the anti-Martha.

White lunges at him and the two scuffle into the middle of the street until six police officers dive through the crowd and pull them forcibly apart. White strains under the grasp of a burly officer, gritting his teeth and bobbing his head furiously toward the other man. Then he collapses into the officer’s arms, exhausted. Sirens wail; police vehicles surround the intersection in an instant...
