- Sophie Dahl (after a conversation about cook book authors and me gushing over Nigella). Apparently she's in the same vein as Nigella, full of sensuousness and femininity while(st) cooking. Love. From the BBC's write food website for her recipes (here): "After the success of both a novella and a full-length novel, Sophie published her first cookery book, Miss Dahl’s Voluptuous Delights, in 2009. The recipes were inspired by Sophie’s childhood memories and the travelling she did as a model. Some of the book’s recipes were brought to the screen for BBC2’s The Delicious Miss Dahl, broadcast the following year."
of come to think of it, I do remember her being a famous plus-size model. Yay for femininity!
- BBC's Good Food website (here):* apparently fantastic recipes. we'll see if it usurps williams-sonoma as king of my stove.
- TV show: My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding. A new friend was talking about gypsies who get married around 16 and cook and clean and have children for the rest of their lives. unsurprisingly their wedding day is the best day ever. and completely crazy because they are planned by 16 year old girls and encompass the fantasies of 16 year old girls. (favorite picture here). turn about is fair play and i shared with them the glories of I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant. Bam!
*yay for English hilariousness - in registering on the Good Food website, it offers you the option of "Master" for your title along with Mr. and Miss and everything else normal. Hahahha.
i see you're blogging a lot lately, and as usual im commenting a lot too! the gypsy wedding thing IS hilarious, and the pic - whoa nelly. and the "master" thing - seriously?!?!! is this Fresh Prince with the butler, what was his name? Jeffrey? (probably spelled Geoffrey).
ReplyDeleteon a more sentimental note: glad you had plans the first weekend there!!
