The Delicious Miss Dahl (BBC 2)

'The Delicious Miss Dahl' is a little confusing to say the least. I think the over-the-top 'kitchness' (if that can temporarily be a word) is a bit much. The recipes however are VERY much my sort of food. The excerpts from poetry and books are random, irrelevant and really rather cringe-worthy. But eton-mess with rhubarb, apple crumble, peanut butter fudge, Blinni's and cottage pie all sound and look delicious as the title would suggest.

There is also something distinctly 'wannabe Nigella' about her. Trying to make innuendos about certain ingredients is a little uncomfortable to watch as she makes a Victoria Sponge! However as a former model who can blame her.

The food cooked is simple, honest, home cooking so therefore not patronising to its target audience! I can't help but find it hard to take her seriously as a cook as she has been a model who has publically battled with her weight.

All in all a good show with achievable tasty dishes however slightly hard to concentrate on this when she's near enough climaxing over talking about soup!

5/10
