Delia Smith
Delia Smith (born 1941) is a British television chef, known for her interest in teaching basic cookery.
In 1969 Delia became cookery writer for The Mirror, with her first piece featuring kipper pâté, beef in beer and cheesecake. In 1972 she started writing for London's Evening Standard. She rose to fame teaching cookery on a television show, Family Fare (1973-75). Her How to Cook series (1998) reportedly led to a 10% rise in egg sales in Britain.
