The Taste Season 3 Episode 1 Recap: Who Will Taste Greatness?

Posted on December 6, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Thursday marked the return of ABC’s culinary competition, as The Taste Season 3 Episode 1 saw a new crop of amateurs and professionals compete. With only 16 spots available in the search for America’s best undiscovered cook, The Taste Season 3 Episode 1 was a delicious battle royale indeed. Watch The Taste Season 3 Episode 1 Online We begin with the blind auditions, in which the judges will taste a bite blind. If you watch The Taste online , you know it’s make or break early on! Firefighter Dan’s crab cake impressed Nigella and Ludo, giving Dan the choice of celebrity advisor, not unlike NBC’s The Voice. He went with Ludo. Mika crashed and burned, however, while Renee Oteri from The Bachelor was chosen to be on Nigella’s team. Sure beats Juan Pablo’s team. Eric impressed all four judges with his dish, and he chose Anthony. With the teams chosen, they delved into the action with the theme of “childhood.” The task: Each mentor assigned a type of dish for their team to cook, then chose the best dish to represent the team in a blind taste test by Stephanie Izard. That renowned chef decided that Nigella’s team had the worst bite, which in turn meant that Nigella had to choose one of her cooks to be sent home. P.K. seemed like the consensus pick to get the chop, but Nigella sent home Renee. Again, it sure beats getting booted out by Juan Pablo Galavis .

Charles Saatchi to Divorce Nigella Lawson; Cites "Disappointment" With Wife

Posted on July 7, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Charles Saatchi, Nigella Lawson’s husband, has announced he’s divorcing the celebrity chef, expressing disappointment she failed to publicly defend him. The fallout from their disturbing public fight – he allegedly choked Nigella Lawson in a restaurant June 9 – culminated in the demise of their marriage. Saatchi, 70, an art collector and global ad agency co-founder, told The Mail (UK) , “I am sorry to announce that Nigella Lawson and I are getting divorced.” ” I am disappointed that she was advised to make no public comment to explain that I abhor violence of any kind against women, and have never abused her physically in any way.” Saatchi was interviewed by British police for five hours and received a formal police citation, called a caution, which means he admitted his actions. The formal police caution formally ended the matter with police. In his statement, Saatchi acknowledged, “I feel I have clearly been a disappointment to Nigella,” but also sought to once again downplay the fight . “This is heartbreaking for both of us as our love was very deep, but in the last year we have become estranged and drifted apart,” the statement said. “The row photographed at Scott’s restaurant could equally have been Nigella grasping my neck to hold my attention – as indeed she has done in the past.” He had been married to Lawson, 53, for more than 10 years.

Charles Saatchi Defends Alleged Attack on Nigella Lawson as "Playful Tiff"

Posted on June 17, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Charles Saatchi has spoken out about his alleged choking of wife Nigella Lawson . As previously reported, witnesses told a British newspaper that the couple got into a major argument at a restaurant… that Lawson looked especially upset… and that Saatchi reached across the table at one point and wrapped his hands around her neck. In the face of published photographs that depict this act, the 70-year old art collector The Standard : “About a week ago, we were sitting outside a restaurant having an intense debate about the children, and I held Nigella’s neck repeatedly while attempting to emphasise my point. “There was no grip, it was a playful tiff. The pictures are horrific but give a far more drastic and violent impression of what took place. Nigella’s tears were because we both hate arguing, not because she had been hurt.” Saatchi adds that he and Laweson “made up” by the time they got home and Lawson only left the house with their children because it was surrounded by the paparazzi. “I told Nigella to take the kids off till the dust settled,” Saatchi says . A spokesperson for the celebrity chef, meanwhile, confirms Nigella took her kids away and that no formal charges have been filed against her husband. “Inquiries are in hand to establish the facts in order to assess whether an investigation is necessary,” says the spokesperson.
