MasterChef judge George Calombaris dishes on cooking dinner for Nigella Lawson
MasterChef judge George Calombaris has dished on his night with Nigella Lawson and the awkward moment that made the celebrity chef blush.
Now to Love reports that on Friday’s episode of the Living Room, Amanda Keller interviewed Calombaris about the night his and his wife had Lawson over for dinner.
"The first year we had Nigella on, I turned around and said 'come over on Sunday, and I'll cook for you at my house.,'" George said,
"And then I forgot! On Sunday morning I got a text message from her saying 'what time should I come over tonight?' and I've just gone what do I cook? I shouldn't be panicking!!".
"I remember cooking her osso buco and just really just sort of comforting dishes."
But it’s what happened next that made Nigella blush.
"There was this moment when we were standing around the kitchen bench, and I was mixing this salad, and I've gone to Natalie (his partner) 'What is this bowl? I've never seen this before.'"
"And Nigella blushed, and Nat's giggling, and I went 'what's going on?', and then I lifted the bowl, and said 'oh my gosh!' It was a Nigella bowl."
Now to Love reports Natalie had gotten the dish out of the cupboard knowing Nigella was coming around for dinner, but George didn’t even know they owned one.
