Nigella Lawson will join the Financial Times as a columnist.
Her first column will appear on April 4.
An internationally renowned writer, broadcaster and cook, Nigella Lawson has presented highly-acclaimed TV series for the BBC and Channel 4 and is the author of twelve bestselling books which together have sold more than 12 million copies globally. Before becoming a food writer she had been a critic and op-ed columnist for a number of national newspapers, including the FT.
In her monthly column, Lawson will use cooking as a lens onto all facets of life.
“We have long considered Nigella Lawson one of our finest writers – not just on food, but life itself,” said FT Weekend editor Janine Gibson in a statement. “It makes perfect sense to be signing her to FT Weekend’s all-star food and drink team led by editor Harriet Fitch Little.”
