Nigella set to release new cookbook and TV series in 2027

Culinary icon Nigella Lawson is secretly working on a brand-new cookbook set for release in 2027, according to television and publishing insiders.

If confirmed, the upcoming release will mark Lawson’s long-awaited return to the literary food world—her first major book launch since 2020’s critically acclaimed Cook, Eat, Repeat.

Industry whispers suggest that the book will be accompanied by a major television series produced in partnership with Channel 4. While neither Lawson’s team nor Channel 4 has officially confirmed the project, news of the potential pairing has already set the food and media worlds abuzz.

A Return to Her Channel 4 Roots?

A television deal with Channel 4 would mark a full-circle moment for Lawson. It was on Channel 4 that she launched her very first solo cooking show, Nigella Bites, in 1999. The show’s intimate, late-night style and candid approach to indulgence transformed her into a household name and defined a generation of food broadcasting.

Since then, Lawson has built an empire spanning decades, selling over eight million books globally. Her bibliography includes seminal works such as:

 How to Eat (1998)

 How to Be a Domestic Goddess (2000)

 Nigella Express (2007)

 Simply Nigella (2015)

 At My Table (2017)

Her hit television shows—from BBC staples like Nigella’s Christmas Kitchen to flagship global hits—have solidified her reputation as the ultimate advocate for unpretentious, pleasure-focused cooking.  

Global Fame and The Great British Bake Off

Lawson’s influence extends far beyond British shores. In the US, she reached millions as a judge on the primetime ABC series The Taste alongside Anthony Bourdain, and hosted shows like Nigella Feasts on the Food Network. She has also built a massive fanbase across Australia, frequently guest-starring on MasterChef Australia.

The news of a prospective 2027 book and TV return comes alongside her high-profile role as a judge on The Great British Bake Off. Joining Paul Hollywood, Noel Fielding, and Alison Hammond under the iconic tent, Lawson brought her signature warmth and expertise to the Channel 4 flagship show, cementing her status at the heart of modern British food culture.  

What to Expect from a 2027 Release

Though details around the 2027 project remain under wraps, fans are expecting a continuation of Lawson’s distinct style: rich narratives, effortless home-cooked meals, and comforting, sensory-led recipes.

Until an official announcement is made by Lawson or publishers, food lovers will have to wait for further details—and keep watching the Bake Off tent for more culinary inspiration in the meantime.
