The holidays are here and the pressure is on. You can't do anything about the snowstorm, but food maven Nigella Lawson says you can do something about the stress of holiday entertaining.

Lawson is known for her polished TV persona. Everything looks just right and her meals all come out perfectly. So, you might be surprised to hear that she thinks fancy food isn't the most important part of a successful party.

Nigella Lawson told Minnesota Public Radio's John Birge that cooks should relax.
