Bath and grass are English words ... pronounced the English way.

Mascarpone is an Italian word.

Nigella is trying to turn it into a Home Counties word.

It's likw calling the capital of France ... "Paaarris"

Yes, quite.

We can't just "Home Countyise" foreign words.

Is the capital city of France 'Pariss' or 'Paree' ?

Yes, Naomi ... that's my point.

Bath and grass are English words ...

... so they are pronounced "baarth" and "graarss"

Mascarpone, on the other hand, is an Italian word ...

... hence, pronounced ... "mass kerr ponay" ... like an Italian would.
