Sophie Dahl’s cooking show

The supermodel will ditch the catwalk for the kitchen when she takes an “emotional look” at food.
The 31-year-old, whose granddad was Roald Dahl, will cook up her own recipes and reminisce over her food memories.
Sophie Dahl, who is dating jazz star Jamie Cullum, said: “For me, food is more than just fuel; it’s a joy and an adventure.
“Cooking often serves as an emotional barometer, and with this show we will run the gamut – from a solo dinner that suits melancholy, to a homecoming feast for 20; it’s cooking with an anecdotal thread, irreverent, unpredictable and not without flaw.”
Janice Hadlow, controller of BBC Two, added: “We are delighted to be bringing Sophie’s culinary talents to the channel.
“Not only are her recipes fantastic, she’s honest, funny and warm.
“And she’ll be in great company alongside our other homecooking heroines, Delia and Nigella.”
Sophie, who began her modelling career as a voluptuous size 16, will film the six-episode series later this year before it airs in 2010.
Zoe Collins, head of Fresh One Productions, added: “Sophie really is a terrific cook and with her relaxed and refreshing style is a great new talent in the world of television food programming. We are excited to be working with her.”
