The Delicious Miss Dahl

[southeastastra]

creey title for a show or is it me?

harrump.......that fish dish looks tasty.

Awful awful tv. So inauthentic. Dreadful

(caught last five mins while waiting for one born every minute)

she is exquisite and I am quite enjoying looking at her.
but it's really really boring. and cringe at the illustrations

we've got that wallpaper in our spare bedroom
i think it's a bit passe tbh

thatsnotmymonkey spill the beans then .

Well I have only one thing to say..........................What a load of bunting cupcakes

Oh god, that was a cringe fest!
She is gorgeous though, and seems very sweet, and the fish omlette thing looked delicious!

I have a mate in the biz so to speak, SD could not cook when shooting started, and cooking lessons were taken up as she was so dire. Thats is what I heard.

Right, I didn't watch it so tell me was it just merely crap or was it so crap it was good?

fish for breakfast then fish for dinner

the fishy miss dahl me thinks.

I accidentally turned over to it after making a decision to definitely NOT watch it and she was poking around in a bowl of fish flakes talking about the "smell of haddock" not being the best. Then she was about to put a whole pack of butter in something and talked about it reminding her of staying in a "posh" hotel. It was less than 60 seconds but it was more than enough to convince me NEVER to watch it.

Had to larf when she was on about having a day doing whatever your heart desires, and then spending it in a cheese shop.

Frankly - that day would be all cooking and washing up - that halibut thing took two frying pans for a start-off - can't see there'd be much time for wafting round cheese shops and then finding mementoes in some lovely vintage emporium... If she wants a memento of that day it might as well be a pair of marigolds.

Harrumph. Yes I know I am being literal and missing the point but like everyone else have had ENOUGH of being wafted at by Marie Antoinettes.

I did love "her" kitchen but I think that's more about me having issues with my own squalid residence! Sadly, this reminds me of the early Jamie Oliver shows when it was all about him on his scooter and "the number of "mates" that he had...

DH objects to Sophie Dahl now as he preferred her when she was bigger!

It wasn't half as twee as I expected although her constant reading of notes did annoy me! Peanut butter fudge looked good, on my list for the weekend now

just remembered this

Didn't it all look lovely. But NOTHING can ever top Nigella with her flask of noodle soup in the pretendy cab.

LOL I would love to see a NORMAL show in a cramped kitchen like mine, where someone could make pasties with ear rings!

We had friends over for supper a few weeks ago- she is very Sophie, everything is wonderful and vintage and matchy and my utter fantasy.

She seemed to think it was fab that pudding was served in mismatched bowls with a Thomas Tank engine spoon/pink plastic weaning spoon/tea spoons.

BO

Yes, I really need some sleb showing me how to make OMELETTE, fgs.

There were 2 excellent food progs on BBC4 last night.

well I liked her and the programme so there

She is very beautiful. She was lovely when she was large and only slightly less lovely now. I don't really mind that she is posh either. She seems very nice actually.

The kitchen is very pretty but horrendously impractical. I don't care that it is a film set. I don't expect people to make tv in their homes.

I would much rather watch Raymond Blanc cook though, why is she cooking? What a pointless programme.

i didn't mind it either, it was nowt more than tv fluff though. not sure i would actually make anything from it though, that's the problem with it, it's essentially as cookery programme except they were very vague about ingredients/measurements.

There was a sycophantic interview in the Radio Times with her last week (it kept going on about how lovely her face was, hello, relevance?) and she doesn't eat meat. Hence two lots of fish this week and I suspect much more to come.

At one point she said "I'm not that selfish. I wouldn't for example, take a chocolate brownie from the mouth of a starving child". Does she really think that's what kids in Darfur eat?

Awful half hour of sugary puff and floral twaddle. I don't care if she's good looking her delivery was monotone and put me into a hypnotic coma.
