Plump and firm like a Thomas Hardy milkmaid. That's an oyster apparently.

Ah, see, cos she's all so literary n that.


She might once have been rubenesque but now she's just really fricking irritating and makes cooking the most ludicrously pretentious thing on the tv - good call BBC not recomissioning...

To be honest, I quite like the concept of weaving in some literature with the cooking - food has a great tradition in art in all its forms (and you only have to read Isabel Allende's Aphrodite to start salivating with gluttony / lust).


But for all her formerly Rubenesque ways, no sybarite she. You get no sense with Sophie Dahl that she'd like to roll around in her own chocolate cake (unlike Nigella) and she's had a complete charisma bypass from what I can tell - stop playing on your grand dad's name love and go and marry that funny wee jazz man.


Sorry, I do seem to have warmed to katie's theme rather.

I saw this. It made me cringe. I liked her before this because she seemed rather down to earth. I was a huge Roald Dahl fan and the idea that Sophie in the BFG was based on her made her seem ace. This programme, where she bleats on about 'decadence' and prepares dinner party spreads requiring about a grands worth of grub means she irritates me big time, now.

I wouldn't mind so much if she was still Rubenesque and was saying 'ooh look at all this delicious food...I LOVE it'!

I've only seen small portions of the show.

After the rough and tumble thrillfest that is Saturday Kitchen (the omelette challenge. Will the final dish be heaven or hell? How many times will JimboM mention Yorkshire? And put loads of butter into something after mentioning Yorkshire with an arch look to camera?) I find I need to calm down with the last half hour of Monk on the ITV.


Has she ever prepared a dhal on the programme?

If not I reckon she and her director are missing a biggish trick there.

Following in the fine tradition laid-down by Harold Wilson's chat show, this programme has that tangible air of 'everyone involved knows it isn't really working, but now it's too late to pull it'.


In short, it's a rotter. And Lord knows I know one when I see one.. I've had a greasy hand in more than a few.

An apt description.


Alas, I can't take the credit for the music on this occasion. That honour goes to top-prize-in-theme-music-raffle-winner - Weakest Link composer - Paul.


And here's a snap of him relaxing at home. Seems money can't buy you everything after all.

      Gas Safe Engineer Rob Mills

      By sianparker79 · Posted

      I'm going to add a fourth recommend for Rob Mills. A while back he did my boiler check and was so much more thorough than the previous boiler engineers I'd used, also taking the time to explain everything he was doing and why, which was extremely reassuring. Then this last weekend, when it was freezing cold,  my boiler stopped working early on Saturday morning and was throwing out error messages that I couldn't resolve. He walked me through various steps to try via text message and resolved the issue for me with no charge. I was incredibly grateful and honestly, highly recommend him.

      Recommendation of Vitamin for 3year old

      By BurleyJ · Posted

      My daughter is trying to find a multi vitamin for my granddaughter who is a very fussy eater. Basically she's living on yoghurt, breadsticks & banana's at the moment. Can anyone recommend a vitamin? Preferably one that's nice tasting if its liquid form. Thank you

      The Mansion Tax

      By DuncanW · Posted

      I would challenge that. Price is a function of supply and demand - that's what I learnt at school anyway. It doesn't matter what your costs are, if supply increases and demand remains constant, prices (rents) will fall. And vice versa

      The Mansion Tax

      By beansprout · Posted

      Strange isn’t it…..other European countries s actually come up with solutions to house homeless people, which are pod structure, use of office blocks, etc. homeless are provided with thermals, warm sleeping bag and tent or pop up tent plus tech friendly clothing which means they are warm in extreme conditions. Us in UK? Nothing but chuckinto house of multiple occupation, which is usually not warm and not all have mould, but some do.. live in one room even if you are a family with good only knows what other sort of people…  not referring to ethinicity here but more along the lines of mental health problems, drugs, alcoholics. Single and families all in one property. Or if you are one of the lucky ones, into a hotel you go…   Why don’t we as a nation claw back more money in the form of tax  or avoidance avoidance, off shore accounts or other ways that rich or investors do buck the system….
