I must say I don't have the Nigella Bites cookbook but I have a previous one - Nigella Express I think?  I haven't used it much for cooking because the recipes don't sound that great to me, but the pictures are absolutely gorgeous. Her descriptions are great too. I almost want to make/eat the food until I read the recipe and think "that doesn't seem like it'd taste very good."  I like it for inspiration, though.

Nigella Bites ;).  Same title as her TV show of the same name (which I've never seen). She's got a bunch of other cookbooks; this seems like just an add-on to capitalize on any interest generated by the TV show..

Nigella's cookbooks preceded her TV shows. Her background is in print and broadcast journalism and she was educated at Oxford.(Her father was second-in-command to PM Margaret Thatcher.) She eventually moved to writing restaurant reviews and food writing. She got her first break in TV when she guested on a British cooking show. Along the way, she lost her mother, a younger sister and her first husband to cancer, the latter right at the time she was becoming very popular.

 

And as they say... the rest is history.
