‘Magnificent': Nigella Lawson raves about two WA restaurants
Beloved UK celebrity cook Nigella Lawson has proven how much she loves WA, making her second trip to the State in just over a year. The culinary queen made a stop in the South West to dine at some of the wine region's best restaurants and said it felt 'so heart-expandingly good to be back'. Taking to Instagram to rave about Margaret River's award-winning Cullen Wines, Lawson said her lunch at the venue was so good it cured her jet lag. 'What does any wise person do on arriving in Margaret River? Why, go straight for lunch at @cullenwines, of course! That's my cure for jet lag and my recipe for deep joy,' she captioned a picture of her view of the vines and a bottle of sparkling wine. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your .

'The bottle you see resting on a beam is a just-opened Pet Nat, which is to say a sparkling wine that finishes its fermentation in the bottle, and short (very Australian!)' She said despite not usually being a big fan of natural wine, Cullen's drop was an exception. The 65-year-old also ate at Cape Lodge in Yallingup where she was greeted with an 'absurdly magnificent view'. 'The scenery may be naturally majestic, but their lighting certainly pays worthy homage!' she said. Lawson makes regular trips Down Under and was last here in March 2024 for an event with MasterChef judge Matt Preston at Perth Concert Hall. She will soon be heading east where she will host a number of dinners for Vivid Sydney 2025.
