The Naked Chef

By Faran Krentcil

sophie_dahl_opium_ad.jpgSophie Dahl, the supermodel made famous by an extremely controversial YSL Opium ad (where she was shot nude, clutching her breasts) is on the verge of becoming the latest celebrity chef.
She’s about to land her own cooking show a la Nigella Lawson thanks to her recent cookbook on the joys of voluptuous cooking.
We admit, we fear a master class in raw carrots and linseed, but will jump for joy over cupcakes and delicious steak.
But here’s our question: Would you follow recipes from someone whose other claim to fame is going from a size 16 to a size 4 in weeks?

    Size 16 to size 4? Sounds like a Texan I once knew did about the same, they gave her an enema. :)

    never trust a cook who dropped from a size 16 to a size 4, because it probably involved laxatives.

    "Never trust a skinny cook", or so I've heard . . .

    it does look like Karen Elson and she has been in other YSL ads (most notably the ones by Juergen Teller a couple years ago) but it isn't.

    It's not Karen. That is indeed the infamous Sophie ad.

    I don't really get this post. She's already published the book "Miss Dahl's Voluptuous Delights". If you wonder what's in it, why don't you just order it from Amazon?

    Dude, that is Karen Elson

    i thought her claim to fame was her grandfather's and her own literary contributions for children.
