Just a Gen X girl in the world

She may cook, but does she eat?

That Sophie Dahl is a jack of all trades isn’t she. Not only was she a plus-sized model, then a superskinny model, she is also an author and now she’s thrown down the gauntlet to reigning champ Nigella Lawson in the cooking stakes.

For Sophie now has her own cooking show entitled The Delicious Miss Dahl. Sounds more like the title for a porn movie doesn’t it?

And Sophie even films it in her pretend home kitchen. Isn’t that lovely? But that’s OK because Nigella had a fake house kitchen too. Bet you didn’t know that. Yep it was set up in an industrial estate and passed off as her Belgravia house.

Anyway, Sophie sucks her fingers, slurps and licks her lips just like Nigella. But unlike Nigella, we just know, know, know that this is as much a fantasy as her grandfather Roald’s fairy tales.

For Sophie no longer possess the body of woman who loves food as much as Nigella. However she does possess the boobs of an Italian mama. How do I know this? Because she likes to hang over plates while the camera does a close up. It makes boob comments fair game if you’re going to put them on show, I say.

Sophie however has little gems to share with us. Comments such as “oysters are an invitation to carnal knowledge”. Stupid girl.

But too her credit Sophie has history with food too (remember she was plus sized). She talks of grandma’s Victoria sponge, just out of the oven, dripping with home made strawberry jam. Apparently she’s got the recipe on her show. Hope she let’s that sponge cool before she puts that jam on it. Could be a right royal mess otherwise.

Anyway good on Sophie for pretending she cooks and eats. And good on her too for giving Nigella a run for her money. My husband was getting altogether too fond of Ms Lawson. I’ll have to hide the TV remote from him.
