Sophie Dahl to front BBC cookery show

Model to show off her culinary skills

Sophie Dahl is author Roald Dahl's granddaughter

Sophie Dahl has landed her own BBC Two cooking programme.

The 6-part series will feature the model sharing recipes from her book Miss Dahl's Voluptuous Delights.

‘For me, food is more than just fuel,’ says Sophie, 31. ‘It's a joy and an adventure.

‘Cooking often serves as an emotional barometer. With this show we will run the gamut. It’s cooking with an anecdotal thread, irreverent, unpredictable and not without flaw.’

The untitled series will be made by Jamie Oliver's Fresh One Productions and will air next year.

‘We are delighted to be bringing Sophie's culinary talents to the channel,’ BBC Two controller Janice Hadlow adds.

‘Not only are her recipes fantastic, she's honest, funny and warm.’
