Delia's Favourites

With well over 30 years' cookery experience, it's no surprise that Delia's a fount of knowledge when it comes to the best gadgets to buy (or not!) and sources of top-quality foods. Tap into her expertise on this page - and, while you're at it, replenish your bookshelves with her books!

Do you need a new copy?

If you’re cooking from a dog-eared, sauce-spattered copy of a Delia book, why not treat yourself to a new one? They’re all available via the site, with Delia Smith’s Christmas and Delia’s Summer Collection now available in paperback. And, if you still haven’t bought it, Delia’s Kitchen Garden is a real winner for those who love to grow and eat their own produce.

Buying for a gadget fanatic?

If you want to buy a breadmaker, ice cream maker or mini chopper and are not sure which one to get, read Delia’s Kitchen Essentials, where she lifts the lid on her own culinary favourites. There are also smaller items, such as citrus reamers, skewers and whisks, that would be perfect stocking fillers for the keen cook.
