anyone seen delia`s new "cookery" series? teaching people to cook out of cans and ready meals. could have got a couple of students to make the show and saved some idea.
That packet of risotto she used tonight looked absolutely rank, like someone else had already eaten it once.
I love cooking so I'm lucky but even on the lazy nights egg on toast or soup and a sarnie has got to be quicker, easier and healthier than some of the stuff she's trotting out!
I totally agree ! The programme is awful!
We get Delia showing us how to cook out of tins from her particular chosen store (which i think most of us can mannage, what we want is to learn how to do the clever stuff!) and then we get 'treated' to insights into Delia's personal life ! Wow, tell me more about your mother's speeding ticket and how much you love going to church.
I feel that Delia is trying to get funky and copy Nigella's style, but actually she just looks like a twat.
How can you be excited by tinned meat?
I liked Delia's very exact approach to cooking using great stuff from scratch. It's a shame that she feels she needs to get hip as i think there's always room for Delia as Delia should be. :sad:
She didn't want to do any more cooking books or programs, but Norwich City FC are skint so she bodged this stuff up for some money for the football team.
My god! :shock: I'd prefer it if she went back to showing people how to boil an egg, at least that's healthy!
It may be quick but some of it would be bloody expensive! A lot of the 'ingredients' she uses are from Waitrose or M & S and it's the sort of stuff that once it's been opened it needs using in a couple of days. You'd have to have the same meal 3 nights on the trot to be cost effective else you'd have a fridge full of stuff going off.
Im my view TV cooks fall into two groups.
One group consist of folk who know about cooking and have something worth listening to to say.
The other group are TV presenters with an interest in cooking.
I think Delia started off as the first but didn't have a lot to say and quickly became a member of group 2.
In evidence I offer her repetition of how to boil an egg and potatoes in earlier years and her current decline into how to boil pasta in a bag.
No chief i have no idea how a contribution to one thread ended up i another but yes now u mention it yummmm Delia.
