Sophie Dahl began her working life as a teenage fashion model and actress, but books and words were her first love. In 2003 she wrote the illustrated novella and Sunday Times bestseller, 'The Man With The Dancing Eyes' (Bloomsbury) and in 2007, published her first novel, 'Playing With The Grownups' (Bloomsbury/Nan A. Talese).
A devoted home-cook, Dahl wrote the Sunday Times bestseller 'Miss Dahl's Voluptuous Delights' (HarperCollins) in 2009, before writing and presenting 'The Delicious Miss Dahl', a prime time series for BBC2 which aired in Spring 2010. In 2011 she wrote and presented a BBC2 social history documentary about the Victorian domestic advisor Isabella Beeton, shortly after her own second cookbook, 'From Season To Season' (HarperCollins) was published.
Dahl served as a contributing editor at British Vogue for ten years. She has written non-fiction essays for US Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, The New York Times, The Guardian and The Sunday Times and is a contributing editor at Conde Nast Traveller.
She has been a judge for the Orange Prize for fiction, and The Roald Dahl Funny Prize.
Her first children's book, Madame Badobedah was published by Walker Books in 2019. It was a bestseller.
Dahl lives in the country with her husband, two daughters, rescue dog, cats, and tortoise, and she is currently working on her sixth book.
