The model-turned author, who is engaged to jazz singer Jamie Cullum, has teamed up with Jamie Oliver's Fresh One Productions for the new series.
"For me, food is more than just fuel; it's a joy and an adventure," she said.
"Cooking often serves as an emotional barometer, and with this show we will run the gamut - from a solo dinner that suits melancholy to a homecoming feast for 20, It's cooking with an anecdotal thread: irreverent, unpredictable and not without flaw."
BBC Two controller Janice Hadlow added: "We are delighted to be bringing Sophie's culinary talents to the channel. Not only are her recipes fantastic, she's honest, funny and warm."
The series is expected to air in 2010.
