As you know, I have been trying (emphasis on trying) to make dinner more often for my fiance, so it was great timing to receive an email from them about a new cook book. They were praising the delicious food creations by model turned chef, Sophie Dahl (her grandfather was the famous children's book author Roald Dahl). She was in the celebrity media years ago for losing a lot of weight...she used to be a plus size model and then got thin. She was a popular model in both categories.

Anyway, on to her cook book....Miss Dahl's Voluptuous Delights.
