                1. Block text suggests someone is talking
                  1. Written in first person, from Nigella's point of view, first person pronoun I, as she connects with the audience, we hear about her worries her hopes and dislikes, almost making an elaboriately staged performance as there are so many hyperbolic expressions 'I Love'

                      1. 'Breakfast Bruschetta' use of ellipses suggests incompletion- needs the moving image to go with it

                          1. Use of alliteration re creates the sound of food cooking and reflects her sexy image, 'first thing frittata party' sounds crafted
                            1. Simple phrases like 'i'm making it because i love it' contrast against these mroe crafted phrases
                              1. The variety of lexis is entertaining and she is able to conjure images in the viewers mind to 'sell' her recipie
                                1. DIrect communication with the audience throughout with the second person pronoun of 'you'- makes the audience a friend
