Semana Santa and all the kids off school for a week and it's wet and windy outside, so we are having late lunch of Delia Smith pancakes and listening to Boards of Canada, because that is how we roll in this house.

Real Life British Legend: Delia Smith’s Challenging Football Chant at Norwich City

Twenty years on, the “message to the best football supporters in the world”, has like a fine wine, just got better with age.

Was inspired by a friend's tin of cauliflower and wensleydale soup to make some homemade and compare it to tinned soup. We made a recipe from Delia Smith and it was lovely. The difference was even greater than I'd expected.

I also discovered that (unsurprisingly) cauliflower leaves are edible so I ate them all after we boiled them in water to make stock.

Cauliflower Soup with Roquefort

This is a truly sublime soup, as the cauliflower and Roquefort seem to melt together so well, but I have also tried it with mature Cheddar, and I'm sure it would be good with any cheese you happen to have handy. More good news – it takes little more than 40 minutes to make. The Delia Online Cookery School: Watch how to chop onions in our video, press the recipe image to play.

40 years ago today Strawberry Switchblade played the Shaw Theatre in London. Here's Being Cold from that gig.Since Yesterday came out a month earlier & was in the lower end of the charts. The album was ready, & they played this gig as a duo with studio-made backing tapes.

I first moved to #Norwich as a student in 1997…the year #DeliaSmith financially saved the #Canaries. My flatmate the following year had lived in Norwich all his life and lived for games at Carrow Road. He told me how so many of the fans regularly attended matches with cookbooks (mostly their mum’s, wives and GFs, but not always) to get them signed.

She is a Canary legend…‘let’s be havin you’

It's not until you move house that you realise what are your "desert island" #cookbooks to keep handy. Hard to pick only these TBH.

Today I learned that long time British celebrity cook Delia Smith popular in the 80s created the cake that is featured on the album "Let it bleed" by The Who.

'This book [Summer Collection] and the accompanying TV series changed British cooking forever. Delia didn’t invent much but she brought things to the mainstream.' https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/in-praise-of-delia-smith/ #foodhistory #cookery #DeliaSmith
In praise of Delia Smith

They’re now such common ingredients that you can buy them in all but the smallest shops: halloumi, pesto, couscous, salsa, roasted peppers. But their origins as culinary staples can be traced back to the publication 30 years ago of Delia Smith’s Summer Collection. This book and the accompanying TV series changed British cooking forever. Delia didn’t invent much
