About the Author

Sophie Dahl began her career as a model, but cooking has always been her first love. She was contributing editor for Men's Vogue for three years and now works for, among others, both the U.K. and U.S. editions of Vogue, the Guardian, Waitrose Food Illustrated, and The Times. After an eight-year sojourn in New York, Sophie now lives in London.

Editorial Reviews

Dahl, a former model and current contributor to Vogue, the Guardian, and the Times, organizes recipes by season and offers simple instructions and helpful hints for beginners. Her first cookbook features Indian dishes like Indian Sweet Potato Pancakes and My Dad's Chicken Curry, soups such as Spinach Barley Soup and Peasant Soup (with carrots, celery, kale, and cannellini beans), and Christmas recipes for Cornbread Stuffing and Christmas Red Cabbage. Part autobiography and part cookbook, this should appeal to readers who want to feel as though they know the chef.
