I recently read a blog post of uncomfortable plot summaries, inspired by Rick Polito’s famously droll summation of The Wizard of Oz; “Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again.” I thought I should take a shot at creating some for food television programming.
Credit where credit is due, I had some help with some of these from my friends.

DId “Nigella Bites” really need a summary? I thought the title of the show WAS the summary.
