Transcript excerpt

I'm Nigella Lawson, and this is my recipe for seasonal living. To embrace each season fully is to nourish oneself. And for me, that involves all the senses. Better one, the outfit. Oh, I think this cold weather needs a bit of warm color to cheer it up. Excellent. Step two, the atmosphere. I'm after a flicker of candlelight tier, a snuggly blanket there. Good is everything. Better three, the music. If only I could play Step four, you might have guessed this one. Cooking should be simple, stress free and seasonal. I find a scattering of these rubies better goes a best. Step five. I look forward to this moment every season. Fern makes only one fragrance per season which makes it so special, and I know it can be hard to get your hands on them, but there's a good reason they're in such demand. Oh, yes. It's just so crisp and sparkling. It feels like winter sun winking on a rippling silver sea. Delish. And no, a spritz all around me, just to kiss the air worse scent. Just in time for the descending hordes. Come in. Come in.
