Nigella Lawson has reached out to her fans by posting a recipe for Holiday Hotcake on Twitter, which she described as "the perfect recipe to show thanks for all your support & to those who hashtag teamNigella".
The message was retweeted hundreds of times in the hours after she posted it.
Messages of support have been pouring in for the celebrity cook, who has more than 470,000 followers on Twitter.
The hashtag "teamNigella" has been adopted by her fans, amid allegations heard in court from her ex-husband Charles Saatchi that she was a habitual cocaine user.
Rosa Monckton, Lawson's sister-in-law, wrote: "A man scorned is much more dangerous than a woman."
Stuart Nathan tweeted: "Nigella Lawson brought us the caramel croissant pudding. Charles Saatchi brought us the Thatcher government."
Another fan, Peter Rush, said: "Nigella, your reputation remains untarnished for me and millions of others too."
Ruth Cherry said: "Seriously, other than Charles Saatchi, is there anyone who isn't TeamNigella?"
This is not the first time Lawson has enlisted the support of a wider community of well-wishers.
Lawson revealed Team Cupcake in back 2010 - the affectionate name for the group of assistants who help look after her children and make sure her business is running smoothly.
