Ypsi Cooks

So we have almost the full collection of Nigella Lawson cookbooks, and they really are full of good recipes. She has had a few cooking shows in the UK, some of which have made it across the pond, but they are so strange to watch. Sometimes she cooks in a nightgown with the lights all down low. The camera work combined with everything else makes it what can only be described as cooking porn.

While the show is strange, the books are amazing. Feast has a chocolate cake hall of fame; The Guiness Cake is amazing. For Bridgit's B-Day I made the Zucchini Cake from How to Be a Domestic Goddess. For valentines day I did a variation on Slut Red Raspberries in Chardonnay Jelly with blackberries and Muscat jelly. We often use her pancake mix recipe, which Bridgit modifies until it is unrecognizable.

Below are some clips from youtube.
What brought the topic up is a clip from This Hour Has 22 Minutes, a CBC show similar to SNL. The scary thing is that it is only barely a parody.

Here are some others:
Chicken Soup

Doughnut French Toast

Raspberry Oatmeal Swirls
