Nigella Wire

British food siren Nigella Lawson will be in town this weekend to promote her new cookbook Nigellissima, which focuses on Italian recipes. Those hoping to catch a glimpse of the bodacious chef can attend free signings at Book Passage in the Ferry Building on Friday or at Williams-Sonoma's Union Square flagship on Saturday. For a more intimate experience, Lawson's also doing a "Cooks with Books" event at Left Bank in Larkspur on Saturday afternoon; tickets are $125. [EaterWire]
