Delia Smith, Cookery Chef

tv-celebrity.co.uk

Delia Smith was born in Surrey in 1941 and brought up in Kent. Leaving school without a single qualification, she eventually found herself washing up in a small London restaurant. Harnessed with the desire to learn how to cook and after much

persistence, she was allowed to help the chefs.

Thus began her love of cooking and traditional British recipes. She then fostered her personal mission to pass on her knowledge and growing skills to others.

Delia Smith's career has spanned three decades. At the end of 1998, the launch of her new cookery book prompted newspapers to suggest that she is one of the most influential women in Britain. Whatever Delia says goes.
