Holiday hotcakes.
Nigella Lawson presented her Thanksgiving gratitude in the form of tasty treats, tweeting out a delicious recipe on Wednesday with a note of thanks to supporters in the wake of shocking drug abuse allegations.
"The perfect recipe to show thanks for all you support & to those who hashtag #teamNigella," Lawson, 53, wrote.
The cooking maven made headlines again Tuesday after it was revealed in a London court that she allegedly abused cocaine, marijuana, and prescription pills every day for 10 years during her marriage to art tycoon Charles Saatchi - according to her former assistants.
Italian sisters Francesca and Elisabetta Grillo, who are facing a judge for allegedly stealing over $480,000 from Saatchi and Lawson during the course of their employment, claim the kitchen connoisseur authorized the use of Saatchi's credit cards for their luxuries in exchange for their silence about her drug habits.

Saatchi, 70, reportedly sent a scathing email to his ex-wife saying he believes "every word" of the sisters' accusations, and even accused her of "poisoning" their 19-year-old daughter Cosima with drugs - according to The Mirror.
It was even suggested in court that the photos of the millionaire mogul with his hand around Lawson's neck - which surfaced in June - may have been during an argument about her illicit drug use.
Lawson's legal team dismissed the drug allegations against the so-called domestic goddess as "totally scurrilous" and untrue, adding that the timing of the sordid revelations "is no coincidence at all" after her headline-grabbing divorce drama.
In light of the allegations, ABC executives are mulling whether to invite Lawson back for a third season as a judge on her cooking reality show "The Taste," sources told the Daily News.
On Wednesday Twitter followers used the "#teamNigella" hashtag to offer their support with kind messages, and retweet the hotcakes recipe.
