I don’t know very much about Sophie Dahl, apart from the obvious fact of her being a certain authors granddaughter. I knew she had been a model, but she has never been a centre of interest for me.
Well I recorded this on Tuesday night, and today I finally got round to watching it.
To be quite honest I was pretty fed up of hearing all the bad vibe about it. Something about her kitchen not actually being her kitchen. And her strutting around trying to seduce the audience HELLO it’s television?
Regardless of that. TV is TV. And the majority of TV is fake. Studios, costume etc. It doesn’t take a whiz kid to work out that all the aesthetic put together was to make the show more appealing for the viewers.
I do enjoy cookery programmes and I did very much enjoy this episode named ‘Selfish’. It was creative and the chocolate pots in particular looked scrumptious!
The quirky titles and illustrations are completely after my own heart. I LOVE things like this. I loved how the recipes were on such cute pieces of card.
The kitchen is so shabby chic. It is a dream. It’s so girly but nice girly. Not pink in your face, it’s just beautiful, with a vintage feel. Ahhh and the shelf that was just full of books and random artefacts!
Despite what the critics are saying. I enjoyed this programme, and I enjoyed watching Sophie, she was friendly and quirky and I strongly disagree with people who are saying nasty things about her.
Note to self: series link! && I am hoping there will be an equally as adorable book to go along with this series.

So I’ve been anticipating this promotion for a few weeks. I finally managed to get my hands on one (maybe a couple) and I unravel the packaging, eat the flake (obviously) and go online to see if I’ve won…. One million to be given away is a sure thing right?
I didn’t win!
You know I’m the person who will most likely spend more on flakes in the next few months than it would cost to purchase this lippy at full price. The delight of 'winning' .....
To be continued.
So remember a couple of posts back I was talking about my love for teenage magazines. (I think I was just going through a magazine life crisis to be honest)
Well another thing I love is new magazines. You know when the first issue gets shoved in your face, every TV advert and the massive promotional stands in newsagents.
The beauty of it is the introductory price that quite blatantly is a ploy as the regular price multiplies by several amounts from then on!
But still I love this. You know I’m the person who buys the first issue but never goes back for the 2nd. How annoying.
Well admittedly I had seen this magazine advertised on TV. Me and the boyfriend both looked at each other as if to say, don’t even think about it!
Well my mum too must have seen the advert and knew I would appreciate something so fun.
The plate is actually huge! I was presuming it would be kiddie size, but no a full size dinner plate. The magazine has recipes in and the packaging is kind of cute actually.
No I won’t be buying the 55 million next issues, at £4.99 each. I think our Ikea dinner set will do fine! I really would be pushing my luck!
But for £1.99 this is a real treat of an issue. ♥
