Jean-Christophe Novelli: “Nigella can cook. Sophie’s show is a bit dull”

French celebrity chef Jean-Christophe Novelli (49) has criticised Sophie Dahl’s (32), an English author, cook and former model, new food show.

Dahl currently hosts BBC2 show “The Delicious Miss Dahl” but Novelli claimed that she can´t cook.

According to the Daily Mail, he said: “Cooking is not about beauty, it’s about a passion for food. Sophie is trying to copy Nigella Lawson but has a long way to go. Nigella can cook. Sophie’s show is a bit dull. I don’t think it is interesting or anything that we haven’t seen before.”

Novelli’s new show “Family Food Fight” is expected to air next month.
