Andrew and I have now watched a couple of episodes of Delia’s new cooking show where she shows busy people how to get nice meals together quickly.
Now, what mystifies me is that while she’s targeting time-poor people, she’s unquestionably aiming for the top tier richer people. Last week, when she made her fish pie involving frozen pre-mashed potato cakes, we estimated the cost of the meal at nearly £15! For that price, you could get a delicious Marks & Spencer meal that you can stick in the oven and enjoy just as much without having to fight with frozen potato lumps and pre-smoked, pre-cooked salmon!
I suppose she’s shooting for the even-smaller niche market of those who need to pretend they’re eating “homemade” food to have a clear conscience!
Seriously… pre-mashed potatoes… Delia, honey, you can’t be serious!

Good God, I agree. This show is an utter waste of time. It is painful to watch – not just because of it’s confusing ramblings into football territory.
This is like watching my mum cook, but MUCH, MUCH more painful. She really should have retired into the background quietly rather than having this extended ad for frozen goods as being part of her legacy.
