Sophie\u2019s love of cooking started at the age of three when she would play with her toy cooker; by ten she was baking her own cakes and by fourteen she was a professional.<\/p>\n
Sophie moved to London and studied at Butler\u2019s Wharf Chef School for her Advanced Chef Diploma. She then went to work in some of the capital\u2019s best restaurants, including The Greenhouse, The Lanesborough, and The Embassy.<\/p>\n
She competed in, and won, numerous competitions which resulted in her being nominated, at the age of 19, for The Craft Guild of Chefs \u2018Young Chef of the Year\u2019 Award. Not too shabby!<\/p>\n
Fabulous Food \u2013 Sexy Recipes for Healthy Living is the full title. It\u2019s a pretty book with attractive typefaces and superb photographs by Chris Alack. The dishes look wonderful and the added bonus is that they are healthy.<\/p>\n
Sophie has a passion for good food (perhaps we all should) and has first-hand experience of both weight and health issues. She read a pile of diet books that all gave a negative message that weight loss meant unpleasant food. If you\u2019re going to stick to a regimen you\u2019ll need food that you\u2019ll look forward to eating.<\/p>\n
This book will make you smile. Sophie has a chatty style that\u2019s full of humour. The chapter headings give you an idea of what\u2019s in store: Social Butterfly, Quick Fixes to fit into that Little Black Dress, but the most fun is Turn up the Heat!<\/p>\n
This doesn\u2019t seem like diet food. It\u2019s smart and tasty stuff and you could easily eat it for every meal and not feel like you deserve a medal. The Vine-leaf Wrapped Chicken with Ricotta, Pine Nut and Mint Stuffing is a lovely example of a dish that looks spectacular, is easy to execute and won\u2019t break the bank.<\/p>\n
Banana Strudel with Chocolate Sauce is bound to be a winner. Sophie tells us that dark chocolate contains antioxidants! For that fact alone, Sophie, I am truly indebted!<\/p>\n
Fabulous Food \u2013 Sexy Recipes for Healthy Living is an attractive and well written book that you\u2019ll want to own… or give to a special someone.<\/p>\n
