Delia – her recipes always work well and she explains things clearly and doesn’t have any of those weird camera shots

Hi Sally
Thank you for your comment – but you didn’t vote in the poll for your favourite! Please do it if you want to.
I’m not a fan of Delia Smith, which is why I’m Not Delia. People say that her recipes always work and I expect that’s true. Some people (like me) don’t want to follow instructions and find it more fun to do our own thing.
I dunno if it’s arrogance or laziness on my part, but I can produce perfectly good meals without having to follow a recipe. Each to their own, and everyone is welcome here and entitled to their own opinions. I’m just mildly surprised to meet a Delia fan here, as this site is most definitely Not Delia. LOL!
Join in and have fun.

I voted for Ainsley. As I’ve said before, the guy is a bit OTT sometimes but I really respect him and he’s a terrific chef. He is also quite unusual for a bloke in that he can multi-task. Just watch him in action on Ready Steady Cook:

Because he’s so jokey and fun and not yelling at people all the time, perhaps it’s easy to overlook his talent. But he is a seriously talented chef. He gets my vote any day!
