Best Foodie Quote EVER

Who describes food, life, love, and friendship better than Nigella Lawson? Sexy voice too, right? Yesterday, I listened to her Valentine's Day segment on NPR.

First up on the menu, Lawson proposes "The date steak" as a treat for meat-lovers who want a delicious, but simple meal.

"People really get nervous about cooking for someone, especially someone they love," Lawson says, "... because they feel like they've got to do something very fancy."

So after cooking up a plain steak, Lawson just throws together a quick stove-top barbecue sauce — (without offending too many Texans, she hopes.)

"I just get a saucepan out, and I put a bit of dark brown sugar, some red wine vinegar, a bit of Dijon mustard, soy sauce, red currant jelly, some ginger, a bit of tomato paste and boil this up," she says. "It's not too sweet and it has edge."

The result is a spiced-up steak that is still a little casual. "It makes a regular steak look like it's got a party dress on — but it's not wearing uncomfortable shoes," says Lawson.
