Sophie Dahl, you know her right? She caused pent-up men to masturbate furiously whilst driving their cars, crashing into the already flaming wreckage on roundabouts due to some nudey photoshoot she did on billboards. Well, she’s about to appear on our screens with a new cookery show on BBC Two. Made by Jamie Oliver’s production house (so expect slightly wobbly cameras) and due on air in 2010, Sophie will work up recipes and reminisce on her own personal food memories. Does that sound like fun? Of course, she’s better know for her modelling (and as a by-product, being a bit larger than your average model and then losing loads of weight) and the fact she’s got a famous dad.

She’s not just a model and the result of some famous sperm though… our Sophie turned her focus to writing and is now a best-selling novelist and columnist. Now, she brings her talents to TV. Please note, ‘talents’ is not a euphemism for ‘tits’.

Food for Sophie is a way of life, she says: “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.”

I wonder what my current lunch (I’m eating Super Noodles from a plastic bag because I have no plates or bowls) says about me then? Anyway, according to the press release, “Sophie’s kitchen is her familiar terrain, a place of solace and retreat where she can put on the radio and enjoy the sanctuary of cooking,” and that “her recipes reflect her unique approach to food and in this new series she will be sharing with viewers her favourite home-made delights.”

Janice Hadlow, Controller of BBC Two, says: “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.”

Burp.
