I bought this for my daughter who leads a very busy life, and is just starting out in her own home. My partner thought we needed it too, and we have tried several recipes with great success - our son particularly likes the Hot Smoked Salmon and Quail Egg Pie - though with hen's rather than quail eggs. Even though I don't always use the 'cheats', it has kick-started my cooking and got me out of the rut (same few things each week!) I was in.
I have tried several of Delia's new recipes and love them. The recipe from frozen fish is especially successful, together with shepherd's pie, although I made my mince as my local M&S was out of it. The great thing is that Delia still wants to pass on her knowledge but has created recipes for the busy person. Unfortunately, the ingredients are out of my grown up sons' budget so I will just have to continue to cook for them!
Have only made one recipe (Banana Bread Pudding) which was quite nice. The book does not pretend that the recipes will make food as good as made from scratch but is inspiring to help make still very good food with decent shortcuts. I will be interested to try some of the other techniques such as cooking fish from frozen which I would not have thought to do before. Interesting tapas dishes etc too and some fab looking desserts. Cheating is great!
I am an elderly disabled person, who has a great deal of difficulty making my meals. I try to at healthily. Have tried Delia,s Onion Quiche, freezing the pastry case,I use ready roll pastry and make my own.It is fandabbiedozzie! I now sit, and make a few cases to freeze then fill them with any egg mix. Also love the cheat mini cheesecakes, don,t like ginger so just shaved a bit off a Digestive. Good on yer Delia! As am a veggie, would like a cheat,s veggie cookbook , next!
