Delia Smith is a British television chef, known for her interest in food & teaching basic cookery. In 1969 Delia became cookery writer for The Daily Mirror, with her first piece featuring kipper pāte, beef in beer & cheesecake. In 1972 she started writing for Londons Evening Standard. She rose to fame teaching cookery on a television show, Family Fare. Her How to Cook series reportedly led to a 10% rise in egg sales in Britain. Because of this fame, her first name has become sufficient to identify her to the public & doing a Delia is the phrase used when preparing a dish according to one of her recipes. Although she announced her retirement from the cooking scene in December 2004, she has other business interests, including a majority shareholding of Norwich City Football Club with her husband Michael Wynn Jones. Recipes from Country Inns & Restaurants. Delias Kitchen Garden. A Beginners Guide to Growing & Cooking Fruit & Vegetables.

I am a huge Delia fan & have been serching Amazon for ages, hoping that she would put all her work on dvd. What made Delias prgrammes so good was that she not only gave you clear concise recipes that worked time after time, but also the atmosphere that she created that made you want to get going straight away & lead a life style where you cooked more fresh, seasonal & interseting food. I believe Delia has now lost interest in making cookery programmes & is going to concentrate more on football & I would say that this dvd is an accurate reflection of that change. I am so dissapointed. Please, just give us the lovely programmes that she made on video on dvd. Thats all I want. This dvd is not worth the money, it jumps around all over the place, thus frustrating the viewer & creating none of the Delia atmosphere we have come to love & respect.
