Sophie

Sophie is always on her mobile phone making social engagements.

Because she's always got a date/dinner/party, she doesn't want to spend loads of time in the kitchen, unless she's cooking for a high-profile event.

She understands that a girl needs her comfort food but still has to look fab in a party outfit.

Accordingly, her recipes are fast and furious but always look indulgent on the plate.

Guilty secret

"I love sweet chilli sauce!"

Last supper

"Seafood platter with all the works, washed down with Krug Champagne - might as well go out in style!"

Favourite munchie

"Chilli-laced tomato pasta, cooked in true Italian-style. This is why I go out with Italian men - they can always cook a proper bowl of pasta!"

Meal to impress a bloke

"Don't be daft - they take me out for dinner!"

"If pushed, lobster spaghetti or beef tagliata with truffle potato gratin, but they would have to be very special."

Nightmare meal

"Eel stew - it was the only time I've ever had to refuse food at the dinner table after one mouthful!"

Most memorable meal

"On the Gilli Isles, near Bali - they are all white sand and blue sea. We had just been snorkelling over a beautiful reef and I found an amazing shell on the beach. We then sat in this little hut and had ice-cold beer and chilli squid - it was wonderful."
