Writer, broadcaster and cook, Nigella Lawson has presented TV series for the BBC and Channel 4 and is the author of twelve books which together have sold more than 12 million copies globally. Before becoming a food writer she had been a critic and op-ed columnist for a number of national newspapers, including the Financial Times (FT).
The FT says in her monthly column, Lawson will use cooking as a lens onto all facets of life. She joins a line-up of FT Weekend food and drink columnists that includes Jay Rayner, Marina O’Loughlin, Tim Hayward and Jancis Robinson.
Nigella Lawson said: “As a greedy reader of the FT’s food pages, I’m just thrilled to be joining them as a writer, too.”
FT Weekend editor Janine Gibson said: “We have long considered Nigella Lawson one of our finest writers - not just on food, but life itself. It makes perfect sense to be signing her to FT Weekend's all-star food and drink team led by editor Harriet Fitch Little. Only the best, and all of the best, for our readers!”
Last year the FT expanded and refreshed its food and drink coverage with the launch of Appetites, an online hub that brings together highlights from FT Weekend Magazine, HTSI and FT Globetrotter. Appetites features restaurant reviews, recipes, expert guides and destination dining pieces, giving FT readers access to coverage on food, drink and culture.
Lawson’s first column will be published on FT Appetites and in FT Weekend Magazine on Saturday 4th April and will appear monthly thereafter.
