Since she's been in and out of the country since the cocaine use was revealed, I think it more likely that the issue has to do with her employment in the United States as a judge on The Taste, and paperwork/visa issues having to do with that employment and the subsequent taxes due in the United States stemming from that employment.

This article from The Guardian has a good explanation by an attorney about why she was probably denied boarding, and what she has to do (get a visa):

Nigella Lawson stopped from boarding flight to US after cocaine confession | Life and style | theguardian.com

We must recall that John Lennon and Paul McCartney were both denied entrance to the USA at one point (each separately). I imagine that they each followed the course of action depicted in the article (need to get a visa, with doctor stating the person is not addicted to drugs, etc).

Technically, U.S. law declares foreigners who have committed drug offenses "inadmissible" to the country, even if—as in Lawson's case—they never faced any legal proceedings at home or abroad.

Hmmm.... just like Obama?
She was denied ESTA under the visa waiver program.

She can get around that by applying for a Visa. That is if a CBP officer at the airport doesn't cancel it and ships her back to the UK for admitted drug use.

Quite right. And lets not forget his drunken uncle as well.
