i caught my very first nigella programme on discovery travel & living and that woman sizzles beyond the food man. i hadn't realized how suggestive the programme was and how much that woman really knows how to work it.

infused with close ups and long shots, the camera dissolves around her other assets as she whips up her dishes. and while the camera zooms into her stirring whisked egg whites onto a pan, her ample bosom in soft focus in the background engages in a whole different type of stirring, or so it seems. she drawls out words like "slather" and "pleasurably" as if she's talking about massage oil rather than chocolate pavlova.

and when the camera zooms into her full lips as she puckers up her adjectives, even I wanna pop a plump raspberry into that mouth.

anyway, i had to watch the same episode twice to retain the recipe for seared tuna, which i tried last night. and lemme tell ya, that woman knows what she's talking about. the hubby loved it and it was the simplest dish i've ever prepared.

ingredients
2 tuna steaks (those used for sushi would be safest)
two tbspn of mustard
two tbspn of olive oil
a lot of pepper chips

instructions
"slather" the tuna steaks with mustard and olive oil
smother the "slathered" tuna steaks in the pepper
heat a dash of olive oil in a pan on medium high heat until hot
sear the tuna steaks for about 30 seconds to a minute on each side without cooking the insides
remove the steaks and once slightly cooled, slice the steaks so that u can see the pink insides

serving
serve with whatever else u want but i included salad with soy and sesame dressing and toasted buns. the whole thing took less than 10 minutes.
