Nigella Lawson's food = bleh

Ok, I'm watching Nigella Express right now and I have to comment about it.  Ok, so Nigella Lawson is a bit chunky but from the chest up she is actually my cup of tea so I try to catch her show.  I like a lot of the British cooking shows; their accents are always fun and it's nice to watch other people cooking other than Rachael Ray, Bobby Flay, or whoever Food Network forces down your throat. 
The food that Nigella cooks is terrible though.  So cooking shows for me are food porn- you try to imagine eating the stuff and it inspires you to want to cook it.  I probably would have never decided to pick up cooking back in the day if I was watching Nigella because her food just looks and sounds awful sometimes.  Like she was making a chicken stew with bacon, garlic, riesling, and dill.  Not sure how to describe it to anyone who isn't familiar with those flavors, but it's probably like taking barbeque sauce, adding Sunny D, and a splash of wheat grass.  And then she made a terrible looking crab salad with Asian dressing dealie.  Bleh.  Good thing she's easy on the eyes.
