Nigella Lawson has a unique way of pronouncing 'microwave'. (Source: nigellalawson/Instagram)Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson has left her fans awestruck once again. But this time it was not one of her exquisite recipes; it was because of the way she pronounced the word “microwave”.
The chef was speaking in one of the episodes of her new cooking show Cook, Eat, Repeat, on BBC. While demonstrating the recipe for making brown butter colcannon — a dish made with cabbage and potatoes boiled and mashed together — she pronounced the word “microwave” as “me-crow-wav-vay”, leaving fans amazed.
