I told you I have been watching the Sophie Dahl cooking show, didn't I? I missed it when it was on telly, so I bought the DVD and have not had time to have a proper look until today (bless you Easter!) I had read a lot of negative stuff about this show, that Sophie was too sexy (I even found a screen shot of down-Sophie's-top!), too wordy, too Nigella-y. I have not found her to be any of these things.
Her recipes are delicious looking, her delivery is straightforward and smart, the sets are lovely, the cookware is gorgeously vintage, there are lots of fresh flowers and scenes of London. I really LIKE it. Granted there are some wistful, self conscious scenes, but I can ignore those, because on the whole it is a lovely show. She doesn't lick her lips and fingers or do any weird sexy moves. I don't know what they are on about, really. She's GORGEOUS. That could be it..?!
Anyhoo, you should watch it.
I am going to make the Chicken Soup, the Shepherds Pie, the Bubble and Squeak, the Peanut Butter Fudge and the Tom Kha for starters. There are recipes here.
xx your pal, Pip
