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.
I have found this 'can't be arsed with all that' cookery a real let down. Many of us have been trying for years to improve our cooking.
Why don't they just cut to the point and give us an address list for McDonalds. rolleyes
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!
But i think her all new "cool" approach is too much as well...for years she 's been trying to tell us how to cook properly and all of a sudden she's trying to convince us she's "hip" rolleyes xx
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!

She should just let them get relegated rather than ruin her reputation.
Delia virtually taught me to cook and I have to say I have become quite good at it, but all this stuff now.... I mean tinned mince???? Has anyone ever tried eating that stuff? And how is it any easier than the fresh stuff?
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.
oops

Ive been a banker all my life.
Until I was about 30 i don't think I ever noticed a woman at work finding me attractive.
Then suddenly I was promoted to an executive position and had all sorts of propositions. May be it was just my self esteem rising. I can only offer my experience not an explanation.
From my own perspective Ive always found people who are happy in themselves incredibly attractive but when I was in long term "committed" relationships I had the dignity not to act on those feelings.
I have to admit a pretty woman in a nice uniform did and does give me a thrill.

Are you trying to tell us you fancy Delia?
No chief i have no idea how a contribution to one thread ended up i another but yes now u mention it yummmm Delia.
Delia is obviously rebuilding her pension fund 'cos the canaries obviously can't do it for her any more.
It's got absolutely nothing to do with cooking, good health and the enjoyment of food. It has everything to do with her building a cash pile by promoting crap food full of E numbers which contributes significantly to making the nation's kids go hypo with the associated consequences. rolleyes :roll: :roll:
Her outburst at one of their matches gives a good measure of what she's all about these days wink
Shame really; she used to have a good reputation. Time for her to hang up her spatula I think.
