Amazon.co.uk Review
Following the huge success of her Summer Collection (also available on
video) this double video set presents Delia Smith's selection of soups, stews and puddings to see you through the cooler months. With a combined running time of over five hours, the 12 programmes cover topics including Warm Soups & Hot Suppers, Game & Poultry, Seafood in Winter, Proper Puddings and Sunday Lunch, Soufflés and the Winter Vegetarian and Back to Baking. The recipes also range across a wide array of influences and styles, from comfort food (Steak and Kidney Pudding) to Eastern fare (Thai Green Curry with Chicken).
Whether it's Warm Poached Egg with Frizzled Chorizo, Libyan Soup with Couscous or Pancake Cannelloni with Spinach and Four Cheeses, there's certainly plenty to keep the elements at bay and the kitchen busy. Delia's no-nonsense, straightforward delivery throughout makes even the most complicated culinary concoctions seem within reach of us mere mortals. The video also allows you to find individual recipes quickly and easily using a very helpful "quick find" index of all recipes on each programme, referenced by their start time and the page number in the corresponding book. --Steve Napleton
