Cosima is Nigella’s daughter from her first marriage to the late John Diamond; they also have a son, Bruno, 23.
Nigella’s appearance comes as she marked turning 60 in an interview with the Sunday Times Style magazine this weekend.
The famed chef said she had ‘fought fiercely’ against feeling ashamed of her age, but did find turning 60 ‘odd’.
She said: ‘I wanted to be open about my age to stop myself ever being able to lie about it!’
Nigella, who hosted her first cookery show in 1999, added: ‘I had been brought up, as many women are, to feel getting old was something to be ashamed of.

‘I knew it was something I had to resist – and resist I do. But even without thinking that getting old is a personal failing, it takes some getting used to.’
The chef went on to say she felt like a ‘traitor’ when she turned 49, because it was the year she reached an older age than her mother ever did.
The TV cook admitted her 49th was the ‘hardest birthday’ she ever had, after her mother Vanessa Salmon died from liver cancer at the age of 48 in 1985.
Nigella wrote: ‘This is something anyone who becomes an age older than they remember a same-sex parent will know.’
‘I think I was rather relieved no longer to be 49, that year that made me a traitor to my mother.’
