Delia Smith is Britain's bestselling cookery writer, whose books have sold over 21 million to date.
She began her writing career 40 years ago on the Daily Mirror and since then has presented very many cookery series on television and published numerous bestselling cookery books, including Delia Smith's Cookery Course, Summer and Winter Collections, The Vegetarian Collection and Delia's How to Cook among others.
After a five-year break in 2003 to concentrate on Norwich City Football Club (where she is a director) and Canary Catering, Delia returned in 2008 with a new BBC TV series and the fastest-selling cookery book of all time, How to Cheat at Cooking. Her Complete How to Cook was released in 2009 to celebrate 40 years of writing recipes and was voted the Most Useful Cookery Book of All Time. She was also awarded a CBE for her services to the food industry.
Delia is married to the writer and editor, Michael Wynn Jones. They live in Suffolk.
Delia's How to Cheat at Cooking
How to Cheat at Cooking is for people who don't want to cook, who think they can't cook, or simply don't have the time to cook. As Delia herself says, "Cheating's come on a lot and there's much more available. The way it's going I can't think of anybody who wouldn't want it." This is Delia's first book in four years and marks Delia's long-awaited return to our screens with a six-part BBC television series.
Delia always has her finger on the button. For 40 years she has continually, throughout her books, writing and television programmes, enabled millions of people who lack confidence or experience to cook for their families and loved ones without fear. Delia's Complete How to Cook is a compilation of her How to Cook series, a comprehensive 700 page guide to basic cooking, so that everyone from nine to ninety has every cooking skill they will ever need in one volume. Including hundreds of recipes, all with Delia's no-nonsense approach and easy to follow instructions. Price: £17.60
