Research Notes
She is from a very prominent and prosperous Jewish family from London, England. She herself is well known as a television chef, and journalist and there are actually quite a few members of her mother's family who also have Wikipedia pages, thereby making it easier to find family details.
- In 2006, Nigella agreed to delve into her family history for the BBC TV series, Who Do You Think You Are. The episode aired on the BBC in October 2006. A good amount of her mother's ancestry comes from this episode.
- WDYTYA - The episode is available on YouTube but is divided into 7 parts. Part 5 is pretty much a repeat of part 4 except for the last 2-3 minutes.
