Lawson was awarded a Guild of Food Writers Award for Nigella Bites. Her midday chat program Nigella on ITV in 2005 was canceled due to low viewership and unfavorable feedback.
In 2006, she hosted Nigella Feasts on the Food Network in the United States. She then hosted a three-part series on BBC Two in the United Kingdom called Nigella’s Christmas Kitchen, which resulted in the BBC Two commissioning of Nigella Express in 2007.
