food porn

i did not know that ‘food porn’ was a well known term. i am anyway completely obsessed with cooking shows on tv. for someone who hates to cook this is truly a voyeuristic delight. no show titillates so much as nigella lawson’s. the close close ups of ripe fruits, luscious flesh, dripping syrup are all seduction with no hope for climax. and there is also her clipped british accent as she naughtily describes in loving detail the smell of and the texture of the blueberry pie, turns sideways and bites into the steaming hot freshly baked purple.
