Long, flowing always black hair. Simple tops (sometimes in denim) and lots of black skirts. Proudly displays her curves.
The Kitchen You Can't Have
Bright green and orange, retro-chic, tiled decor. Excellent working antique stove that you'd be lucky to find in any condition, much less functional, on eBay. Softly lit, modern, and gigantic. Has the world's largest pantry - walk in and sit down.
Annoying Quirk
Is she a chef or a traffic cop? Enough with the overexaggerated hand talking already.

Yes, she's British. But, Nigella, we call it cilantro, not coriander.

Inefficient Knife
The Santoku, a Japanese knife used for thin slicing, is her tool of choice. Ray uses it for everything, including chopping herbs, a horrible task for this knife's flat blade.
Her mezzaluna's curved blade is great for chopping herbs, but who has a mezzaluna? Everyone, on the other hand, has scissors, which Lawson uses to snip just about everything. The trouble is, scissors have the unfortunate tendency to rust when you wash them.
Telling Recipe
Makes pasta carbonara with rigatoni instead of with the traditional spaghetti. Otherwise, there's a standard allotment of pancetta, wine, eggs, cheese, and parsley. She makes you feel better by excluding cream.
