Nigella Lawson is radiant in red as she signs copies of her cookbook at Sydney’s State Theatre

Nigella Lawson is in Australia for her An Evening with Nigella Lawson tour.

And the beloved British chef took the time to meet her loyal fans after Sunday’s broadcast at Sydney’s State Theatre.

After the in-conversation session, during which Nigella shared some of her culinary secrets and participated in an audience Q&A, she sat down to sign some of her cookbooks in front of enthusiastic supporters.

The 63-year-old star shone in red and opted for a supple blouse in a soft wool fabric.

She chose a soft make-up look for the evening, including a pink-nude lipstick with a glossy finish, and wore her dark brown locks in soft curls.

The Nigella Bites star looked absolutely thrilled to greet her audience and sign some of her twelve best-selling cookbooks.

Nigella’s event comes after she shared her heartbreak over the loss of fellow culinary icon Jock Zonfrillo.

The MasterChef judge, who died on April 30 at the age of 46, was buried earlier this month in a private funeral surrounded by a small group of family and friends.

It is unclear if Nigella attended the service.

“I can’t stop thinking about Jock Zonfrillo’s children, his family,” Nigella tweeted after news of his passing earlier this month.

“So many are plunged into the deepest sorrow. My heart goes out to them. And I hope their wishes for privacy are respected.’

The beloved British chef later paid tribute to Zonfrillo on The Sunday Project: ‘My heart breaks, as I’m sure everyone does, for Jock’s children.

“And his family and everyone who loved him, of course. May his memory be a blessing.”

Nigella has two children with her first husband John Diamond, who died of throat cancer in 2001: Cosima, 29, and Bruno, 26.
