I can not express the respect and admiration I have for Delia (as a chef she has got me out of trouble many times). In recent times it seems to be fashionable to 'poo-poo' her - but since the early 70s until now with her 'Delia Online (Click)' her work has inspired and taught a nation how to cook fabulous food at home. Just in the UK the sales of her cookery books run to over 21.5 million.
Companion of Honour is a much higher order than that of Dame Commander of the British Empire and she is also has an O B E. but sadly can not be called 'Dame Delia'. I do anyway!
I am lucky enough to be able to have the most amazing butcher's based in Yorkshire that only uses rare and native breed animals that frolic on the Dales. I got a whole Breast of Lamb from them. Didn't know how to tackle it. I looked at loads of my 300 cookery books and online. Only Delia came up with the goods - God bless her. She got me out of trouble again !

Ha ha! It's just our everyday salt cellar but it does seem to amuse people so has become a permanent fixture in my food posts.
