She's not all work and no play! Cooking queen Nigella Lawson heads to local Woolies and bottle shop to pick up supplies during trip to Sydney
Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson may be the queen of the kitchen, but she also knows how to unwind.
The British celebrity chef, 65, was seen indulging in some downtime in Sydney on Friday and popped into a local Woolies and a bottle shop to pick up some supplies.
Clad head-to-toe in a stylish black ensemble, the TV star cut a chic figure as she strolled the streets.
Nigella donned a belted black trench coat layered over wide-legged trousers and a fitted turtleneck, pairing the all-black ensemble with crisp white sneakers for a touch of casual flair.
She shielded her eyes with oversized sunglasses and accessoried with a big black leather bag.
Her signature cascading locks and she went for a barely-there makeup look.

Her rich brunette locks were worn loose in her signature tousled waves, effortlessly framing her face and catching the afternoon light as she strolled through the scenic streets
Oversized tortoiseshell sunglasses added a touch of old-Hollywood glamour to her off-duty look.
The London-born TV star looked in good spirits as she visited Potts Point Liquor & Deli store, which is popular among locals.
Earlier this month, Nigella landed in Sydney and wasted no time heading straight to her favourite local institution, Fratelli Paradiso in Potts Point.
In a heartfelt post to Instagram, the British culinary icon described the Italian bistro as not just a regular stop, but a vital part of her philosophy for living well.
'My first stop in Sydney has to be Fratelli Paradiso. It's one of my rules for a good life,' she wrote.
'Walking through the doors after a year away just felt like coming home. I love everything about this place: great people, great mood, great food.'
While Nigella admitted the restaurant's dim lighting wasn't ideal for taking photos, she found a moment to capture the final course once her neighbouring table had cleared.

It's not the only culinary destination Nigella was excited to visit for her trip down under - telling told Gourmet Traveller that Ester in Chippendale was also at the top of her list
The dessert - the show-stopping Bombalaska - left her speechless.
'Behold the beauteous Bombalaska! I don't expect to eat a better pudding while I'm here, and I don't need to: I'll just keep coming back for this,' she wrote.
Prior to that, the much-loved British food icon first touched down in Western Australia and declared a tiny Margaret River winery one of her favourite places on Earth.
Taking to Instagram, Nigella shared a swoon-worthy post about her long lunch at Cullen Wines.
Nigella described it as 'heaven' and '[her] cure for jet lag and recipe for deep joy'.

Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori strikes out on her own with mysterious new venture
Bianca Censori is reportedly stepping out from her famous husband's shadow for a mysterious solo-branded venture. The 30-year-old wife of Kanye West has launched her own company in the US, Bianca Censori Inc., according to the US Sun. She reportedly registered her eponymous company in California in May. Censori has also reportedly registered a firm in Australia — simply named Bianca Censori — which operates out of the Melbourne suburb of Alphington, where her parents happen to reside. has reached out to a representative for Censori and West for comment. The new companies appear to be the first signs of Censori — who left fans calling for her arrest after posting seemingly nude photos on Instagram — taking the lead on a project since beginning a relationship with the 47-year-old disgraced rapper. The Australian beauty previously worked as an architect for his Yeezy brand beginning in 2020, and they married two years later. Despite launching the companies under her own name, with one in her home country, Bianca isn't completely leaving her husband behind. Although she is listed as the CEO and secretary for Bianca Censori Inc., Kanye is reportedly listed on the registration as a director of the company. He's also connected via his attorney, Manoj Shah, who is providing legal services for Bianca's company. So far, there are few details about exactly what Bianca plans to do with the companies. However, the identify of a top executive may hold a clue to what exactly the provocateur plans to make with her new company. The paperwork reportedly indicates that Hussein Lalani is working as the chief financial officer, and Lalani is known for promoting cosmetics. He is the founder of the skincare company Zensa, which offers microblading products, home tattoo kits and accompanying numbing creams. Lalani reportedly advertised that West planned to release the cryptocurrency 'meme coin' $YZY, which was initially described as a way to pay on the rapper's Yeezy website. Despite Lalani's press release, which indicated the crytopcurrency would begin selling on February 27, the release was inexplicably delayed inevitably. Lalani allegedly came into West and Censori's orbit after he met the couple at the West Hollywood condo they lived in last year. He's also reportedly listed on the corporate statement of information at the same address as the condo building. Censori and West have recently stirred up more controversy over the shockingly skimpy outfits. The two have been spending time around Barcelona, Spain, where they reportedly reunited after initially appearing to split in the wake of West deranged, antisemitic and pro-Nazi posts on the Elon Musk–owned social media platform X (formerly Twitter). Fans were shocked to see Bianca post a photo of herself with her breasts seemingly exposed under a fishnet top, while her nether regions were apparently uncovered under her sheer black pantyhose. Some social media users even suggested she should have been arrested over public decency laws, though there are some parts of Spain where it is at least legal to go topless. Despite the uproar, Censori appeared to double down when she posted a second photo of the same outfit that was even clearer than the original, somewhat blurry post.

Jeremy Clarkson meets Australia captain Pat Cummins: ‘I've never been a fan of cricket'
Jeremy Clarkson hosted Australia captain Pat Cummins at his Diddly Squat Farm but admitted that he is no fan of cricket. Cummins is gearing up for Australia's World Test Championship final against South Africa at Lord's next week and took the opportunity to visit Clarkson's famous farm in Chipping Norton. The pair also played a game of farmyard cricket, testing a bat that had been made from willow grown on Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm. Cummins, who will lead Australia against England in the Ashes series later this year, bowled at Clarkson's Farm stars Kaleb Cooper and Charlie Ireland in the light-hearted game. Clarkson watched as a spectator-cum-fielder. 'I've watched every episode of Clarkson's Farm and visiting the team from Diddly Squat Farm ahead of training for the World Test Championship final was a real treat,' said Cummins, who owns a farm in New South Wales. 'The life of a farmer is just as chaotic as you see on the show, and I was very impressed with Charlie's idea to grow English cricket bat willow. Thanks to Jeremy and the team for hosting me.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pat Cummins (@patcummins30) Clarkson said that he relished hosting Cummins, despite his lack of interest in cricket. 'I've never been a fan of cricket,' Clarkson said. 'I always had too much hay fever to know what was going on. But at least now I've found a way to make some money out of it. 'We enjoyed showing Pat around Diddly Squat Farm, after we had Oscar Piastri visit us previously as well. The only non-Australian sportsman who's visited was David Beckham.' The event was arranged by Amazon Prime, who are showing the World Test Championship live in Australia and also broadcast Clarkson's Farm. Australia are the reigning World Test champions, after defeating India in the 2023 final. Their match against South Africa at Lord's begins on Wednesday. Cummins, who has taken 294 Test wickets at an average of 22.4 as well as contributing crucial lower-order runs, is regarded as one of Australia's finest-ever cricketers.

Five ways to make your own dips using ingredients you may already have
YOU'LL be loaded this summer with the latest food trend. Nibbles and dips piled with extras are everywhere, from hummus with falafel at Sainsbury's to Marks & Spencer's mascarpone with roas-ted tomatoes and Parmesan. But you can make your own using ingredients you may already have . . . HEAPED HUMMUS: Start with an inexpensive pot of basic hummus. Pour it into a bowl and transform it with a tasty topping. Roast a drained tin of chickpeas with olive oil and salt. Put this on top of the hummus with chopped fresh herbs or crispy onions. For something cheesy, crumble over Greek-style cheese, chopped olives or cucumber and a sprinkle of smoked paprika — or swap the cheese for cherry tomatoes. LOADED LEAVES: Sturdy lettuce such as little gem can hold a topping. Add shredded chicken, grated carrot and sliced cucumber then top with a dollop of mayo or drizzle of sauce. Make sweet satay with peanut butter, sweet chilli sauce and a dash of soy sauce. For a fishy dish, mix tinned salmon with spring onion, plain yoghurt and a squirt of lemon juice, then add leaves. TOP YOG: You can give a yoghurt-based dip like Greek tzatziki a lift. Serve in a dish and load with chopped tomatoes, peppers, red onion, cucumber, parsley and pine nuts. Add a swirl of olive oil. CHIP FOR THE TOP: Loaded crisps are a great way to use up leftovers. Get a bag of tortilla or pitta chips, tip them on to a baking sheet and pour over some shop-bought salsa. Add chopped chicken, crispy bacon bits, sliced peppers, tomato chunks or olives. Finally, add grated cheese and bake until hot and bubbly. BETTER BANANAS: Fire up your fruit. Split open a banana and top with peanut butter, crumbled biscuits and honey. Or load the banana with chopped strawberries, blue-berries, nuts and a grating of dark chocolate.
