We've found all the best kitchenware Nigella uses in Cook, Eat, Repeat: here's where to buy

Ah, Nigella.

Nothing elicits such immediate, joyful greed as when Nigella Lawson shimmers onto our TV screens to talk us through her latest tranche of delectable recipes. Her Monday night BBC2 television show, Cook, Eat, Repeat has the twitter-sphere salivating in delight.

Second only to our desire for the food itself – the Fish Finger Bhorta! The Tahini and Banana Chocolate Pudding! Creme caramel! Nduja and cavolo nero pasta! Banana skin curry! - is that gorgeous kitchen she potters about, twinkling with fairy lights, and stocked with the most covetable kitchen appliances and cookery sets from near and far.

It's not just us – after each episode Nigella's (if we may be so over-familiar) twitter feed lights up with a inquiries into where she gets her kitchenware from.

The BBC2 programme Cook, Eat, Repeat is based upon the recipes found in Nigella's latest cookbook of the same name, much of which she wrote this year while isolating on her own for lockdown.

As such, her ninth book often features recipes designed to cater to a solo diner, such as 'Mine-all-mine' chocolate cookies or the (extraordinary) fried chicken sandwich for one. There's a cosy comfort to be found in her recognition that those on their own are allowed to eat as well, and indeed, and lavishly, as a full house may.

Which is not to say the book doesn't cater for a crowd. From the warm lemon elderflower pudding, to her fear-free fish stew, and the by now infamous banana-skin curry - you'll be able to cater for a full table using these delightfully discursive, yet easy to replicate, recipes.
