Taking to Instagram, Nigella told her followers that Bee Wilson's Secret of Cooking has been her favourite cook book of the year.
"I thought it might be helpful to give you a link to #CookbookCorner in case you haven’t bought all your Christmas presents yet!" she penned. "There are so many great titles, but I have to nominate @KitchenBee’s Secret of Cooking as my Cookbook of the Year."
Nigella has previously praised the book as "a genuinely game-changing cookbook. . . there's not a kitchen that should be without a copy."
